Hey, we have a baptism this weekend! Reda is getting baptized, she is really excited! Things are going good my comp, still has really bad poison ivy and we have been trying to deal with that. Oh, I got to go bowling Monda,y that was fun. Had more meetings in Baton Rouge this week and it looks like we will be there next week too. We have Elder Packer coming, he's President Packer the apostles son.
Yeah, not sure who the new Bishop in your ward is but cool. Oh, will you find out what he wants me to speak on sometime soon? Well it doesn't have to be really soon, I don't wanna worry about it for a little while, but would be nice to think about a little before I come home in case in come across any thing I could use.
Oh, so we kinda accidentally played a joke on some missionaries in our zone on the 21st. They sent us a text asking if we were still alive cause that was supposed to be the end of the world, and Elder Lee and I were planning so we were ignoring, slash messing with them and sent them a couple bank texts. Then they sent us a text asking why we sent them and then we sent a couple more so they called us and we answered and started making noise by dropping the phone on the couch. Then we called them back and didn't say anything when they answered so we hung up and we called back and Elder Lee started screaming and then I dropped the phone on the couch. Then we kinda forgot we did that cause we were trying to finish planning. Then we were going to bed and Elder Lee noticed there were a couple messages from them asking if we were OK and there was a missed call from President Wall and then the phone started vibrating again saying he was calling and his face just went blank and he told me the president's calling so I said throw me the phone but it was to late we missed it again, so I hurried and called the other missionaries and let them know we were alright because they really thought we were dying and they called President. He called to check on us while I was talking to them so I answered and he asked if we were alright so I told him what was going on how we were finishing planning and forgot to tell them it was a joke (we thought they knew but apparently Elder Lee's screaming sounded convincing) and then he said alright just wanted to make sure you were alright and then he said quit scaring people and we both laughed and hung up. So we learned a lesson; end of the world jokes are only funny till someone thinks your actually dying. And Elder Lee is convincing, he could be an actor in a scary movie apparently. But we made it up to the missionaries by taking them bowling.
So we have a stake conference regional broadcast coming up and one of the apostles should be speaking, I think Elder Cook but apparently he asked our mission for some miracles of investigators coming into the church and Elder Smith, my last comp, said that they asked for the story of Nick and our president said he might not use the ones he selected to send Elder Cook but he was definitely going to read them so that's cool that he is gonna read Nick's conversion story and could possibly use it in a talk.
I got to talk to a Mallory a member in Denham Spring that was just returning to activity when I was there the other day. She is fully active and has a calling in the young women's now.
well, I best be going love y'all
love elder ritchie
