Imagine my surprise when I saw these

Here are a few new pictures of Elder Richmond. He is celebrating his 18 month mark (I can't believe I just typed that) in the typical fashion. He said "mom I am sending you some pic's but don't freak out they look worse then they really are".....lol!!

The teaching is going really good. We have some really solid investigators right now. I don't know if I told you about the twelve year old girl who comes to church with her g-ma every week. We got permission from her dad to teach her and then yesterday she gave a talk in church. (that is how often she comes) and told everyone that she is going to be baptized. We are meeting with her tomorrow and are going to set a baptismal date with her. Then hopefully we will be able to start teaching her parents after that. The work is really picking up though that is for sure. I think that we just had to go through the refiners fire. The Lord just wanted us to prove ourselves and our faith. Because there are people that we are starting to teach that are golden.

He's a trainer again

Not a whole lot is up this week. We got a phone call for transfers on saturday night. When the phone rang I saw that it was President Smith and that is no bueno because it means that someone is getting leadership. So he started talking to me about how I am staying here but that the Lord has something for me to do and it is something that only the best missionaries get to do. Well I am TRAINING AGAIN!!!!!! I am going to be a dad for the second time. I am way excited to train though. I pick him up tomorrow and then we are going to the temple with a kid in the ward that is going through for the first time. Going to the temple your first day in the misssion field is a great way to start.
