Sister Richardson's Super Split Seconds

  1. HELLO AUGUST! Time is flying, and I really don't know how to feel! Feeling all the feels for sure.

  2. BIG NEWS... I got transferred... back to Annandale! I'm serving right below the area I served in a few months ago and right next to my first area. Honestly, I couldn't be happier; I love this little neck of the woods! I'm serving with the lovely Sister Wallin from Southern California! She's got so much fire, so I'm excited for what's ahead!

  3. TALL CEDARS, I LOVE YOU! I'm so grateful for my second round in Gainesville! It challenged me in new ways and pushed me to rely more on my Savior, which in turn changed me for good. I'm so grateful to all the physical angels God placed in my path to help me develop into the person He needs me to be! Tall Cedars, thank you for loving me and helping me on my journey toward the Savior! You're in my heart forever!

  4. I've prayed all my life, but it really wasn't until my most recent stint in Gainesville that I learned to talk WITH God, rather than talk AT God. Rather than just spewing every stressor, need, or desire and then closing my prayers, I've started to take time to listen and problem-solve with God. As I've done so, I've seen more answers to prayers than at any previous time in my life. I've come to know God in a more personal way, and I've come to know with complete surety that we have a loving Heavenly Father who is very near and very eager to help us through the trials of life. Saying prayers out loud can feel awkward and strange at first, but I invite you to give it a try, as it can be the key to unlocking your access to God's knowledge!

GOD IS GOOD IN VIRGINIA

xoxo,
Sister Richardson

CIA Takeover

Sister Richardson's Super Split Seconds We had dinner with an ex-CIA contractor and holy cow, my mind was blown. Quite literally one of the coolest conversations I've ever had with someone. I'd tell you all about it, but then I'd have to kill you. All things considered, life is good out here in Gainesville! The people here have my heart forever. They have the biggest hearts and they keep it real, which is always refreshing. Christ is often referred to as the "Prince of Peace." I've heard that reference probably a million times, but never once considered what that actually means for us until this week when we went to share a Christmas message with a family. From the moment we walked in, we could tell the wife was stressed. Her precious little girls were running around the house. They were doing what kids do best and getting into everything, all while the mom was trying to make dinner. As we sat down to talk, I asked her how she was doing, to which she respo...

Bottom Of The 9th

Sister Richardson's Super Split Seconds As you all know, I've never been shy about sharing my realities. With that in mind, people were mean, and I mean mean this week. It doesn't really hurt me anymore, but it also doesn't make for a great email home. On top of that, I had a lot of unexpected anxiety about ending my mission pop up, so this week was... really something. With that, I thought I'd keep it brief and share some of what's been bouncing around my head for the last 18 months. Growing up, whenever I experienced a setback or some sort of defeat in softball, my dad would often tell me, "The game's not over until it is." In other words, regardless of how far behind you may be, you always have the ability to make a comeback because there's still time left on the clock. This simple yet powerful idea has stuck with me in so many different phases of life, but especially on my mission. There have been many moments when I felt so defeated that t...
