Well this week was fun. So to start out, we saved a
pigeon. It was honestly kind of annoying but in the end I believe God
wanted us to save it, so it started like this. We went by a referral and
she opened the door. Then her dog came out and ran over to the
car. There was this pigeon who couldn't fly and the dog was chasing it around. So we noticed the bird was a little hurt. I chased it down
and caught it with a basket and a towel. Then the people were like "well,
we have to go to work and so can you guys deal with this" " ahhhhh
alright then" we said. So we had this bird strapped into the back seat
and we took it into the animal hospital but apparently they don't
take birds. We were running around trying to find a member to
pass it off to but who is going to take a bird for us. We ran into a
recent convert of another ward and we went by to do some service for
her. Afterward we asked her if she would be able to take the bird. I
know that sounds like we are trying to make a deal. We will give
you service if you take the bird, ha, but she was willing to take the
bird. While I was in her house, I looked over and saw a picture. It
was a picture of one of our new investigators, Francios! He's French. Apparently that is her son-in-law and we were able to talk about
him and some of his needs so it is really good. Apparently God needed
us there so he gave us the stupid pigeon, haha, but hey, the pigeon is now
in a good home in a wildlife care facility.
Also, today
we did hot yoga. It was a room of people who are a lot better
at yoga than the four of us. We went with some other Elders. It's
105 degrees and 40 % humidity. It was hot. and sweaty. It was great. I learned that breathing is important because if you don't pay attention to
your breathing, you can pass out, hah,a which almost happened to me ,haha. But it's all good, I survived, didn't go down though. But yup, sweat a ton
and feelin pretty good. Yoga is a little more intense then I thought it
might be.
We picked up a family it was awesome... until they dropped us. It was sad but it is the up and downs of a
missionaries' life. Stake Conference was really good. Lots of speaker on
intense subjects-- like having depression and having gay children and
being divorced in the Church and being single and going inactive, it was
really good. Oh and how to improve relationships between husbands and
wives. But metal chairs hurt your back and butt after a while.
Love, Elder Richards
