Subject Line: Polynesian people are way too nice
Hey ya'll,
Crazy week. My companion, Elder Touchin, broke his hand riding his bike. And I woke up this morning with a messed up neck.
Things are going good though. We have been getting referals like crazy.
We have a couople of baptisms coming up soon. I'll tell you more about it next week when I have more time. I only have 7 mins left.
Love you all.

Transfers-300 miles every half transfer
Hello
gah, I'm getting transferred. I'm going to Meadows 1st and 3rd Ward. It's by where the 95 curves from East and West to North and South. Deuce. Packing is annoying but I'm making it. Still on a bike, though.
We go an average of 300 miles every half transfer. We got a speedometer. Anyway, I have been here for 3 transfers now so 600 x 3 equals 1800 miles. Wow. That's pretty crazy. I can definitely feel it.
It's so worth it though.
Anyway nothing new here either. Just transfers. My new companion is Elder Touchin. He better not try and touch me. I'll smack him. Just kidding. I hear he is pretty cool so I'm not too worried.
Well, I love you guys. Thanks for everything. The IPod is good. I love the talks. It's perfect, thanks. Look up TOA on ITunes. Their album is called Silence. They are way good.
Love,
Elder Richards

Just learn from it and move on
subject line: The members feed us too much, haha
Hey everyone,
No, I don't need the cards yet. We go to the Temple every 3 months and we just went at the beginning of this transfer. So I won't be going to the Temple again till the transfer after next. That's if I'm still in Vegas. I might get transferred way far away where we are unable to go to the Vegas or Reno Temple.
This week has been crazy. Not a good crazy. It seems like you all have been going through a hard time too. That's life. [Note: I do not know what Elder Richards is refering to here. jer]
So I guess the biggest change would be that we are not living with the Toblers anymore. Let's just say that my companion isn't the easiest guy to get along and this is the first time he has had to live with members.
Well, Brother Tobler is one of the nicest guys ever but you DO NOT want to tick him off. So, to make a long story short, we are no longer living with the Toblers. We are staying with the Williams until President McCracken can figure something out.
It's kinda depressing because I love Brother Tobler. I love him and his family and I have bonded with them. I can't help but love them. They are a great, strong faithful family. I wish that I could have stayed but my companion cannot. I'm gonna miss them.
So that was my big experience for the week. It totally stinks but I have to just learn from it and move on. There is more work for me to do. I trust that the Lord knows what is best for me and for my area.
I love you all, thank you for your prayers and support. They really help.
Love

Help! I can't see. It's dark in here. And I can hear laughing.
Hola
Sorry I couldn't email yesterday. The library was closed.
Thanks for sending the IPod. I haven't gotten it yet but the ZL's (Zone Leaders) should call me when it comes in. I really appreciate it.
Transfer calls are coming up not this Saturday but the one after that. I have a feeling that I'm going to be transferred. I don't want to go. But now that I just said that, I will.
It's funny how the Lord works. You get comfortable then BAM! He throws a nice hard challenge at you.
Or you think everything is going great and you're on top of the world then BAM! Humbling experience.
That's how I feel at the moment. Everything was going great with Peter and now he won't even accept our calls.
Quierston (another investigator) is really hard to get hold of because she has started school now.
Cole (the recent convert who looks like Brian) hasn't been to Church in awhile. He came this week though so things are getting better.
Courtney (another recent convert) is having a hard time with life and I don't know how to help her.
I love all of these people. I want to help them. That's the main reason that I want to stay. I'm doing my best. Just keep praying for me.
I love you all. Again thanks for all of your support.
Love
Elder Richards
