Milagros (Miracles) - 12/18/2017


Hello my beautiful friends and family!!

Things are going wonderfully in good ol' Corpus Christi, Texas. We are staying busy for SURE. We saw so many little miracles this week it was such a blessing. 

First of all, The Garcia kids were all able to come to church yesterday! It was so fun! They have such strong desires to be close to God and to learn about Him. It is such a privilege to be part of this process with them. They are in pretty humble circumstances and so they didn't have any clothes to wear to church. So Sister Koehler and I called some people and a few members went over and dropped off over 5 bags of clothes for those amazing kids. We felt more blessed than they did to have such an awesome ward! It was even more of a miracle because one of the ladies we called was literally going through all of her kids' clothes to donate them right as we called her. It was so awesome! 

Jay and Jackie and their 3 kids were able to come to church yesterday too! They loved it and this past week we even found them a free Christmas tree and helped them put it up. They have had some financial troubles as well and so they had zero Christmas decorations. Now they have a 7ft tree with lights and stockings. :) BLESSINGS.

Church yesterday was amazing because we were sitting in the big middle pew and on either side of us was a beautiful family we had brought. We legitimately doubled the primary size.  10 new kids. TEN!!! The Lord is blessing this ward so much. 

We are very excited for Christmas here. It is in ONE week! FELIZ NAVIDAD everyone! It doesn't feel like it though because it is only in the 60s or so every day. We've been getting a lot of rain too. :) 

We also got a flat tire this morning and had to change it in the rain on the way to the library to email you all. It was an adventure! 

I love getting all kinds of emails and letters from you all. It brightens my day! If you would like to write me a letter you can send it to:

Hello my beautiful friends and family! First and foremost, I am profusely sorry that I did not write an email to all of you last week. And unfortunately this week it's going to be short again. We went paint-balling today and it was so much fun! We hit our goals last month and so we got to go paintball together as a reward. It was a blast. Pictures inserted. You also all might be glad to know that DARLENE CAME TO CHURCH! We had pretty much given up on her but then she came to church and she loved it! It was an awesome Sunday and we're so happy for her. She got a lot out of it. Other than that it was a pretty normal week. It's mine and Sister Chavez's and last week together and were going to make the very best of it. I love you all and I hope you have a fantastic week. Always remember how much you are deeply loved by your Heavenly Father. No matter what you do, He's there for you. No matter what.  -Hermana Lara Richardson

Food for Darlene - 10/1/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! This week was a great week! One of our investigators named Vida came to church yesterday! She hadn't been progressing a whole lot and so we really didn't think she would come but she did. She liked it but she said it was a bit long haha.  In other news Sister Chavez was sick this week with a cold and allergies. So, we stayed in for one and a half days to let her recoup. I was super bored and I was so happy that she was getting better until I woke up yesterday morning with a minor sore throat and today I woke up with it worse! I'm getting what she had. It's just a bad cold but I'd rather not get it at all. There were two baptisms in our Branch this week. Adolfo and Daisy. They were both so ecstatic and it was wonderful to see their progress.  *MIRACLE* OKAY SO, One of the days that Sister Chavez was sick, I was at my desk trying to study some more while she slept when we got a text from Darlene (another one o...
