Monte Cristo, Texas - 4/23/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family!!!!
This week was great! We started teaching FIVE new investigators and all of them are girls between the ages of 14 and 20. Three of them are sisters. We feel pretty fortunate. They are all so cool and we hope to continue to teach them about the gospel.
We also had exchanges this week which was pretty fun. My Sister Training  Leader, Sister Ellsworth, is so awesome. We had a lot of fun together and she is so good at following the spirit. I have a lot to learn from her. 
Also, everyone in my district got sick this week. I only got a little sore throat but some other people had fevers and stuff. It was pretty crazy because we had to postpone district meeting! It's all good though and almost everyone has recovered.

Sister Hatch and I took a Spanish Day this week. Its a day where we have to speak 24/7 in spanish to everyone except for those who speak only english. It was pretty fun. We get to practice our spanish quite often down here but it's still a struggle sometimes. I know I have crappy gringa spanish but it gets me by for now haha. I know I'm improving every day and we study the language often. 
We also accidentally found a family that were members but moved here and didn't tell anybody and they went inactive. We have been working with them to make them feel loved and get them to know the ward. It's really interesting because the wife prefers english but the husband prefers spanish and so many times our lessons with them are half and half! We have to constantly be switching from spanish to english and it's a struggle but it's fun! Very unique and awesome. 
Anyway, I love you all and I hope you're having a great week! Here's my address for anyone who would like to send mail/packages:

Rewards 😁 - 10/22/2018

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...
