This has been a really strange week. Monday was Pday.
Then on Tuesday we drove up to Pasco for a zone conference. It was awesome and there was a lot of great training received. I got to see a lot of mission buddies which was fun, including E. Anderson (there have been some fascinating developments on his stalker situation, it turns out it's a random family in Richland....very strange) E. Tom, and a bunch of others. It was a blast getting reacquainted with everyone, and now that we're all older we have served in a lot of the same areas, so we were able to share some laughs about people we all knew.
On Wednesday we helped out a family build a garden and spread about 4 trailer loads of manure. It was good manual labor, and I am proud of how the garden frame turned out. After that I got sick, nothing too bad, but definitely not 100%. I'm still on the mend, but things are looking up. Our other service was to clean out a field so that some burning could be done. In the process of cleaning we happened upon some wasps' nests, and the battle was on. We went back to the people's house to get properly outfitted, and then went back and waged war. We took out one nest, and then found a much bigger one but we were out of spray by then. So we had to retreat.
The work is going great. We met with one of our families at the Stake President's house again on Sunday. The father brought up baptism on his own. He's not ready for it yet, but the fact that he is considering it is awesome. We continue to work with the another family, the mother and two sons are on date to be baptized on the 28th of this month, so we hope to get that to work out.
E. Partridge and I continue to get along awesomely. We have a lot of fun, and I really enjoy working with him. I love you all very much and hope all is well.
Love,
Elder Richards
