Rain, Snow or Shine 12/11/2017





Hello my beautiful friends and family!!!

I dearly hope this email finds you all well, happy, and cozy for the marvelous holiday season. 

First big news: It SNOWED in Corpus Christi, Texas for the first time in 13 years and it is my first winter here! Crazy! It was absolutely beautiful and it felt like home. :) Every was going insane about the snow and it was funny. I'm really glad that I was here to see that. 

One of the pictures is of Irma and us! We are teaching her right now and she is so nice. The little girl is the funniest and cutest little girl ever. She is in our ward and her name is Cora and we are best buddies. She is about 3 years old. 

This week was an all around good week. We taught a lot of lessons and met some awesome people. We were able to teach the Garcia kids again this week. and I got a picture with them too. :) 

We also got to hear from Elder Quentin L. Cook. He is an apostle and he had some amazing council for us! He came and visited my mission and talked to all the missionaries. He talked a lot about love and he bore the most beautiful testimony of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will never forget that. 

A little miracle that we had a couple days ago: We didn't know what to do at night because one of our appointments fell through so we decided to go to Walgreen's and hand out Light the World cards (https://www.mormon.org/). Right when we got there the first person we saw was this guy named Tristan! We have taught him before but we lost contact and didn't know what happened. Now we have an appointment with him later this week! YAY! 

I know the Lord lives and he loves us. He knows us all personally and perfectly. I know that we are all here for a reason and we just need to figure it out. The best way to do that is so ask God! 

Scripture of the Week: Helaman 14:8

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...
