Tallahassee Transfer 7 Week 4

How the heck is everyone? How has everyone's week been? Things are just moving along here, going really good. Glad I can start every email with the exact same beginning, gotta love it. And it's not going to change. But let's talk about this week. 
So with teaching, not much went on with people not named Andria. Most of our focus and effort was on Andria this week, and boy oh boy was it a Rollercoaster. Basically to make a long story short, she has been teetering back and forth between overcoming some stuff and not overcoming it, so we're doing all we can, prayers, scripture study and everything in between, to help her overcome her demons. And she's doing so well, we're so proud of all the progress she has made. She just has a few more things to overcome and then she wants to literally cannonball into the waters of baptism. So keep her in your prayers!! But other than her, not a lot of stuff has been happening. Things have slowed down a little bit, so we're just grinding finding different people who are willing to let God prevail in their lives. So all good things going on. 
But honestly that's about it with things that are happening down here. Lots of learning, growing, praying, working going on. We made some new friends with some little kids out in Quincy who love us, they always want us to play basketball with them and push them on the tire swings. So momma Richardson is going strong. 
One last thing that I wanted to talk about, is wishing all y'all a very happy Mothers Day. I don't know how many times I can say it before it's oversaid, but I just have the best women in my life. I've been blessed with such loving, caring, awesome grandmothers and great grandmothers, who do so much for me. I have the craziest, funniest sisters who keep everyone on their toes. And I have THE best momma, one who has literally sacrificed her whole life and free will so that I can grow and be happy. I don't know what I did to deserve such amazing examples and heros in my life. God probably knew that nobody else could handle the job. But they truly are amazing. So I love y'all so much, and thanks for doing all that you do for me and everyone else. 
Have a great week y'all!! Remember that Jesus loves you, and so do I!
Elder Richardson
Spiritual Thought: Alma 56: 47-48
47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.
I know without a doubt, that I learned of God because of my Mom. I love the gospel. There's not much more important to me in my life than the gospel and the knowledge that I've been blessed with. And it all stemmed from the amazing love that my Mom has for the gospel, and the tender teaching she gave me when I was a kid. I'm sure it was hard, I'm sure it was a pain teaching a crazy little toddler how to lobe the gospel. But boy oh boy am I grateful that she did!
