Tech it up! - 3/12/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! I hope this email finds you all well.

The weather here in Corpus Christi has been magnificent. It's been in the low 80s all week! So wonderful. 

So, a few days ago we were super duper busy but we had a little bit of time to do some door knocking and so we knocked one single door. Guess what? We got a return appointment from that door and he wants to learn more about the Book of Mormon. Inspired, right? It was pretty cool. Plus he has a super adorable daughter.

We had Zone Conference on Friday which was spectacular. Zone conference is when all the missionaries in the area get together and our Mission President talks to us. It was really long but I learned so much. Our mission president is a man of God. Without a doubt. He knows how to make you feel the spirit. At one part he was talking about how the number of baptisms that you get doesn't tell you how successful you have been. He looked me straight in the eye in front of everyone (I was in the front row) and said, "Sister Richardson, how long have you been in corpus?" and I was like, "Almost 6 months" and then he was like, "it is not easy here, is it?' and I was like, "no, not really." and then he said "What would you say if I told you your purpose here was Nadia and Priscilla?" and then I started crying and said, "It would all be worth it." Nadia and Priscilla are both people that I was able to be part of their conversion process and I love them both so much. It truly is all worth it. 

Some exciting things for Technology! We are using technology a whole bunch recently. We are finding people to teach and to help through Facebook! It's the craziest and coolest thing! 

Our testimonies of God and Jesus Christ are personal but they are not meant to be kept secret. Share what you know to be true and what you have been taught by the spirit! Don't be afraid! If someone judges you for what you believe in (especially if it's Jesus Christ), you don't need them in your life. He is real! He loves us. Share that! 

Love you all~

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...
