Week 2 - Industrial

Well i survived my very first Christmas here in Torreón! It was definitely a different Christmas for me ha! Mostly because here in Mexico they only celebrate Christmas from 9 pm on the 24th until 4 or 5 am. So when I woke up yesterday it was just back to life as normal ha. Thank you for all the gifts! They helped me have a little bit of the Christmas spirit yesterday! Also I loved and hated skyping home! So fun to talk to you, but it was also the hardest thing ever. Anyway 1 Christmas down 1 to go here in the lovely city of Torreón! Also yesterday i had the opportunity to give a talk in church. I guess its pretty unheard of for us newbies to give a talk after only two weeks, but it went alright ha. This past week was fun and action packed! On Wed. we had our performance in the Town Square. Roughly 600 people showed up to hear us sing, and after that we got about 5 new teaching appointments for tomorrow. Thursday we had the activity with the president. We went ice skating, watched Captain America, had a great comida, and then had a talent show ha! Very fun! Friday, Saturday, Sunday, more of the same here! Lots of teaching and tracting. We have a girl named Salma who is 19, and her brother who is 14 that are very close to accepting our invitation to be baptized. Its very cool to see how they are changing every week as we teach them. Since yesterday my topic for my church was on setting goals, I just want to encourage all of you to try and make one goal for this next year how you can grow closer to our savior. I know we can all find one small thing that we can change to accomplish this. I find out everyday as I strive to be closer to Jesus Christ, how much happier I am. Its truly a blessing to have him in our lives. Well fam. I love you all the death! I miss you all even more! keep making good choices! Have an amazing week this week and don't forget about me down here haha. I LOVE YOU GUYS! Sorry this weeks is so short. I'll have more to say next week for sure! Make those goals and id love to hear them next week :) Hasta Luego! 

 Love Elder Richardson.
