This week had some fun points. The first one:
we went to the Sheriffs landing pad for the helicopters. It was pretty
fun. we watched a helicopter land and one take off. Standing underneath
one when it takes off is pretty windy. Who would have guessed. We also
got into one called the Pumba. It was a very big one. There are so many
little buttons in those things. But yes, it was pretty cool.
Then for the weekend we went to the LA visitors center. We dropped
by a former investigator and she was all like, "hey, I was trying to go to the Temple
thingy last year" "oh, do you want to go this Year" said me. "yes" So we
were off! One of our members took us all there. Shirley is the
investigator. She is very talky but fun. Sister Gilliland, the member,
made us all sandwiches to eat on the way up and then she told Shirley
all about the Temple. It was just awesome. Since its Christmas time, the Temple does a bunch of performances at the visitors center. We went
to one of those and we saw the bell choir. It was awesome. I have never seen
that before and they were good. We had front row seats. We all had a
really good time walking around the Temple, just enjoying the peace of
it all. While we were there, I ran into people from the Huntington Beach Stake. They were not from the ward I worked in but I knew them anyway. Brother
Augustus was there. I see him all the time I feel like. He's the guy that
worked on my foot. He's the guy that we taught his mother in Japanese. He's the guy we got a ride in his Tesla and the one who took us to all
you can eat sushi. So of course I had to bump into him at the Temple
ha.
I gave a talk on Sunday, went well. But it was
pretty hot in there for some reason. I thought it was just me being
nervous but then I was talking to a guy about it and he told me that he
was burning up too. So that was good because I was like man, why am I so
hot, am I that nervous. But no, it was actually hot.
We
had a couple good lessons with people this week. For some reason, they
were both kind of long but we learned a lot about what they needed so
that was good.
I love you guys
Love,
Elder Richards
