| Los Angeles Temple |
Since we had a Temple trip today, they moved our p-day to Tuesday ( just for this week, it is still on Monday). The Temple was awesome! It was so big. When I send you the pics you
may get a better feel for how big it was. I couldn't even get the
whole temple in one picture. It was so nice inside and it was a
great experience.
The most exciting thing that
happened this past week had to be (besides the Temple of course)
exchanges with Elder Larsen. We both came out at the same time so
we are brand new and we still don't know the area. We were in his area
and of course we were on bikes. We had a little trouble finding
places and getting around but it was awesome because while we were
running around looking for this address, we actually ran into 2 new
people that actually were curious about the Church. It was awesome. The Lord just prepares people and then puts them in your path. The other
half of the day we decided that we would go into downtown, because they
cover downtown, and get work done. But when we tried to go down there
the first time, I was riding ( it was Elder Showers bike, since we were
in his area) and the whole pedal and crank fell off. so I had to
ride the bike like a scooter all the way back to the apartment. It was a
struggle but we made it haha. Then after we fixed the bike we were
determined to go downtown. We start riding again and now by this time
it was a little dark. We were just bookin it, and then the road
looked a little rough so we moved to the side walk. Along the side walk
was just big bushes. In the middle this lady just walked out in
front of me. Just to let you know she was completely fine. She was good. But yes, the right side of my handle bar hit her, and I was launched
from the bike. Don't worry, I'm fine, just sore ha. But yeah, she walked away
fine and after chillin on the ground for a little, I got up and was fine
haha. It was all good but we decided that maybe this was a sign that
we shouldn't go downtown haha because first the pedal and then the little
accident haha. We just went back to the apartment. It was about that
time anyway. So, that's what happens when 2 brand new missionaries get put
together for a day haha. We got work done and it was a very
interesting day.
Another highlight of the
week is when the APs, took us to a place for lunch called Rosscos. Apparently it's one of those "need to go to places". All they serve
is chicken and waffles and to be honest, it was really good. They
had a picture on the wall of the people of Rossco with President Obama when he
went there. They even have an order called the Obama special.
In our area we have another place that is a place I felt we
needed to stop by when we were in the area. According to big Kevin, it
was my house hahaha. Ferris Buellers house ha. It was just funny. Got
plenty of pictures.
Oh and for our Labor Day thing, we decided to go back to Patricias haha.
Yeah things are good in Long Beach and the Church is true, love you guys
Love Elder Richards
