Week 15
February 29, 2016
hello family!!!
THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!!! there were many highs and few lows, but I learned a lot this week and am so grateful for prayer and a Heavenly Father that is so aware of us.
Monday was a crazy Pday trying to make room for our new sister! and Monday night we went to Crave (look it up, its awesome) a really good burger place in Highlands Ranch, and we called it our babymoon! you know how sometimes couples will go on a trip before their baby is born, like as a last hoorah? hahahaha that was our babymoon!!! it gets weird if you think about it, so dont think too hard. it was super fun though. a last hoorah before we were a trio.
TUESDAY WE GOT SISTER UHRI!!! (pronounced yer-ie, everyone asks) and she is seriously so fun, she fits right in with sister Fetuli and I and our weird sense of humor and its just been so much fun. she is 19 (turning 20 on March 8th) and is from California! To make things better, we had TWO lessons on Tuesday!! Sis U was overwhelmed but of course she killed it. We met with our Investigator from Tibet, he is moving to Chicago :( (maybe caroline can teach him, holla) But it went well! we read 1 Nephi 1:1-12 with him and helped him understand how to apply what we read in the scriptures to his life, and committed him so continue learning when he gets to Chicago. Then we met with the miracle referral!!! We'll call her R, cause its hard to differentiate them without telling you their name hahah so, R, she is amazing. she is so ready to learn and change her life, teaching her is the best, we read with her in the Book of Mormon, where she was at (1 Nephi 11) which is when Nephi asks to see what Lehi saw, and it went really well! we were able to help her realize that just like Nephi, we can all ask for ourselves through prayer, if what he are learning is true.
Wednesday was interesting, we didn't have our GPS, because sister fetulis broke. I know gift of tongues is a thing, but im pretty sure gift of direction is too cause SOMEHOW we were able to find our way around. it was good though to have to learn the streets better! and it made life interesting reading from a map, never done that before! oh the joys of only having a flip phone
Thursday we taught R again! (yeah, that's twice in a week, cause shes amazing) and we taught her the Plan of Salvation! which for me, is hard to always explain the principles right, but the spirit was there, and she loved what she heard. She hasn't told her mom yet that she is planning on being baptized, but she committed to tell her this week! and we got our package of hi-chews!! (they're basically already gone, so that's concerning) and it was my 100th day as a missionary! exciting stuff
Friday we had a meeting for all the trainers and their new missionaries, and since sister fetuli and I are training, we went and it was awesome! I've been really stressed about being a trainer, cause I feel like I still hardly know what im doing half the time, but the meeting helped me feel motivated to help Sister Uhri the best I can!
Saturday we did service for an elderly woman in one of our wards that recently broke her femur, and we were able to clean her house and visit with her. she is so sweet, and I felt so happy to be able to so a small thing to help brighten her day!
Yesterday was stake conference, and Elder Anderson of the 70 came and it was amazing! I never appreciated how cool stake conference is until my mission! I loved it so much and learned so much. We were also able to teach our part member family! we'll call them the S family so make life easier. it went so good, the wife has really warmed up to us and will share more of her thoughts and how she is feeling about what we teach her, which has been the biggest blessing! we love them so much
and I don't know if you all follow the weather here, but it has been BEAUTIFUL! sunny and 60's everyday, I love it. this coming week is going to be AWESOME. we got to the temple on Wednesday, the stake variety show on Friday night, DAVID ARCHULETA AND BRAD WILCOX FIRESIDE on Saturday, and sister fetuli's birthday on Sunday!!!!! life is so good, im telling you. I am SO happy. I have struggled with homesickness pretty much my whole mission, but the last two weeks or so I have found myself still thinking about you guys (duh cause I love you) but not dwelling on it, and i am SO grateful for that. I am so grateful for prayer, and a Heavenly Father who knows how i am feeling and how to help me. i am so grateful to be a missionary and am loving it so much.
I hope you all have an awesome week!!!! i love you SOSOO much!!!
love, Sister Richards

Week 14
February 22, 2016
hello everybody!!
so this week was amazing!!!
GUESS WHAT?! remember the family we taught that moved? They have two little girls, and the wife is less active, the husband wasn't a member? they were the sweetest people ever and we love them so much. anyways. The wife texted us on Tuesday night and told us her husband has decided to get baptized!!! we were SO happy!!! they don't have a date yet, but he is going to, and I couldn't be more excited for them.
Wednesday was amazing too! we met the girl that was a miracle referral last week. We met her at the church building and did a little church tour, and taught her in the chapel about the restoration. the scouts were doing an activity in the gym, so it was a little loud but that didn't stop the spirit from being there, and she excepted the invitation to be baptized! As of now she is on date to be baptized on April 2nd! we are so excited for her, she is so prepared. we meet with her again today, so I'll let you know how that goes next week :)
Thursday we had a zone meeting all morning, and that went well! we had an appointment with our investigator from Tibet, and he told us he is moving this week :( WHY DOES EVERYONE MOVE? so we're going to call the missionaries where he is going and helping him get in contact with them.
Saturday we did a service project in the morning, making blankets it give to hospitals, and that was so fun! we did it at the catholic church where we help our at the food bank twice a month. We also went to a convert baptism that day! we took our investigator from Tibet, and he really enjoyed it. he had never seen a baptism, and it helped him understand how it works, and be able to feel the spirit that is there! He says he wants to be baptized, but he wont until he sees God's face... soooo we're working with him on that. He is a character to say the least. Saturday night we got our transfer calls!!! aaaand, we're both staying!! yay!!!!!! its Sister Fetuli's last transfer and im SOOSOSO happy I get to stay with her. we have so much fun together and have so many inside jokes, it'd be so sad to have to say goodbye noe. BUT THERES A TWIST we're going to be training a new missionary! so thatll be very interesting. I am super nervous about training, I feel like only 40% of the time I know what im doing, but "fake it till you make it" right? We pick her up ay 6:30 tomorrow morning, then we'll get to work! Im so excited to meet her, I hope she can handle all our crazy.
Tonight we're teaching our new referral, and the part member family we've been working with! I am so happy to be on a mission, I can feel myself loving it more and more everyday, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity.
I love you all, have an amazing week!!

Week 13
February 15, 2016
hello family!!!
so this week the work really slowed down, because of last weeks sister fetuli being sick, so it was a lot of running around rescheduling appointments. but I have some good stories to share!
Wednesday we taught our (one and only) investigator. it went well! we read from Alma 32 and talked about faith, and having the faith to continue on, and trusting you will find answers, or comfort or whatever you need. I always notice when we're teaching a lesson, I could learn form what I am saying! its always humbling
Thursday morning was AMAZING. We had our companion prayer at 9:00am, and lately we have been praying for miracles a lot, because this area isn't the easiest. so we said our prayer, and asked Heavenly Father to bless us with miracles in our work, and I KID YOU NOT less than a minute later, we got a call from a number we didn't know, and it was a girl from Arizona giving us a referral! her friend lives in our boundaries, and has been asking questions, and wants to learn more and talk with the missionaries!! WE WERE SO EXCITED!!! we have an appointment with her tomorrow at 4! we cant wait. we have a real good feeling about her.
Friday, we had our weekly planning which takes awhile, but I have a good Sister Fetuli quote. we were talking about marriage (idk why, I guess cause we're girls) and she is a very sassy, independent little Tongan, and she said "if I get married, it will be a blessing- I will follow a commandment. BUT, if I stay single, it will be a MIRACLE"
maybe y'all wont think its funny, but I died
Saturday we went to visit a former investigator, and when we pulled up and he was sitting on his porch (sidenote, it has been sunny and in the 60's all week- basically, heaven) and we went and talked with him, he was super nice and he was asking us questions, and we just talked about what he learned form the previous missionaries. Theeeeeen, his phone rang, and he got up to check it, and HOLY LEG he was in his underwear!! his tiny little underwear!! it was soooo funny. me and sister fetuli looked at each other (and because we're bffs) made the exact same face. it was hilarious. he wasn't interested in having us come back, but hey. I got a good story out of the deal.
Yesterday was super fun!! since it was Presidents day, we couldn't email, so we went to Red Rocks! I had never heard of it, but turns out its awesome! (ps, we got to wear pants, so when im lifting my leg in all the pictures, that's me saying "look what I can do cause im in pants!" just fyi)
All in all it was an awesome week!! this is the last week of the transfer, so Saturday night we'll find out if we leave or stay. very stressful.
I love you all and hope you have an awesome week!!

Week 11
hi family!!
this week was awesome! of course I don't have tons to report, my bad
Tuesday we did service at a food bank, which was sooo fun! our district all went, which is Sister Fetuli and I, Sister Broederlow and Sister Webster, and Elder Teter and Peneloza! and they are all sooo much fun, we're all really good friends and joke around, and it makes me so happy to feel like I have friends here! We did some tracting later in the day, and we picked a street to try, but no one was home, or not interested (which is very typical) and we tried on more house on a street next to the one we were on, and we met the nicest lady! she has family that were pioneers, so she was super excited to talk with us about family history, and our missions! she is Catholic, but said she has a lot of respect for the church, and wants to find out what message made her family move from England to Salt Lake! we were SO excited. WE GOT YOU. she was busy the next couple weeks, but she said in two weeks we can come over! i'll be updating you all on that later.
On Wednesday we had exchanges, and so one of the sister training leaders came to our area with me, and sister Fetuli went to another STL's area. it was so fun!! the sister that came here is names Sister Thompson, and she is so fun, we got along really well. We had a lesson with our investigator that day too! it went really well, she is a very spiritual person, so she is very aware how she feels when she meets with us, and interprets that all on her own. she has said many times she will get chills when we teach her, or feel very peaceful and we're just dying like THATS THE SPIRIT!! its awesome. we will teach her again next week, cause she has some deadlines at work, but we are super excited about her.
Thursday we had zone conference, which was super good! it was from 8:30-4 so it pretty much took up our whole day, but I learned a lot!
Friday we had weekly planning, which takes forever, and we visited some people after, but as usual no one was home, so again- not much to report
SATURDAY!! Saturday was SO good. first of all, it was in the 60's and sunny, and so how can you have a bad day when its that beautiful? so in our zone conference, sister Murdock gave a training, and in it she quoted from the talk I think it was by Holland, like 15 years ago she said, about a potato farmer that got called on a mission to grow potatoes in Russia, in an area that had been not producing much. So he went, and grew a ton of potatoes, and people asked him what his secret was, and he said "we needed a miracle, so we prayed for one" and that's what she challenged us to do! pray for a miracle. and we did!
We went to visit a less active family, and when we pulled up we saw a woman with her dog in the field near this families house, so we said our prayer in our car, and went over to talk to her! she has been having a hard time lately, she is recently divorced, and moved in with her mom to help with her health problems. we did our survey, and talked about the book of Mormon with her, and read some verses from Moroni 10 with her, and she was teary eyed! she said she believes things happen for a reason, and she could have been outside an hour earlier, or an hour later. it was so amazing!! so we gave her our card, and a Book or Mormon, and went to the families home. When we walked up, there was a "for rent" sign in the window! so that family doesn't even live there anymore! The woman in the park was our reason for going to that house when we did. when we walked back to our car we could see the woman sitting, reading the Book of Mormon, so we went over and asked for her phone number so we can try and follow up in a few weeks. it was amazing!
When we were tracting, people were SO nice to us!! that never happens!!! one man gave us each a water bottle after talking to us, and another women (who we have a return appointment with) gave us a banana and a bag of popcorn! haha! (those are the picture I sent- if you were confused why we were posing with food)
then Saturday night we had a lesson with a part member family, and we had planned to go in and determine our relationship, and see if we needed to drop them, because they don't keep commitments, and cancel lessons often. When we went in, I just felt like we should not drop them, and I was praying in my mind that sister fetuli would get the same prompting. we sat around the table, and had a very open conversation with where they were at, and the wife (who isn't a member, she is a little standoffish to us) said she enjoys our visits and thinks about the message we share after we leave, and enjoys the peace she feels when we come over. and the daughter (12, not a member) said she likes our visits too! im not explaining it well, but it was SO amazing. we have been stressing over this family, and knowing how to help them, so it was so great to know they actually are benefiting from our being there!
Sunday was awesome too- a missionary from one of the wards had his homecoming talk, and he went to Brazil! It was super fun to hear his experiences and hear him speak Portuguese (for some reason im obsessed with Portuguese? I wonder why?) and we stopped by his open house which was fun, then had some member lessons in the evening.
it was such a good week! I still think about home everyday, and the amount of time I have left is on my mind a lot, but I can see miracles happening and its so amazing. I LOVE Sister Fetuli, I am soo grateful for her, and our friendship that we have. we have so much fun and so many inside jokes of weird things people say or do to us.
I hope Ben had a good birthday!! his party sounded soooo fun!!! I love you all so much!!
