Monday, Feb. 24, 2025 Que tal yall!  Sorry ill attach last week's email below, and my bad yall it's gonna be another short one.  Here's a few quick highlights:  -Had interviews with Pres. Lit as always and he always gives me the exact advice I need.  -had zona conference and got to see some absolute dawgs and take some lit Polaroids with Elder Tillman, Mitton, Collins, Heaton all from my group. As well as Presidente and Hermana Lopera. Hermana Lopera gave us all a new tie and it's dope! Got it signed by both of them. And zone conference was just so powerful.  -Elder Cadillo had traimates and so I got to see Elder Potter and we chopped it up for a solid 4 hours.  -The coro del tabernáculo came to Peru and it was broadcast aquí también. It was so fire! Super powerful I loved it  -had an awesome lunch with some members yesterday who live way up In the mountains. It's beautiful up there and we had conejo! (rabbit) which they raise themselves. It was pretty...

Monday, Feb. 17, 2025 Que tal yall! I didn't have time to write an email but here is a voice message!  Ahh it's not attaching I'll send it next week! 

Monday, Feb. 10, 2025 Que tal yall!  This week was absolutely fire and super busy! I'll write down everything I can remember!  Tuesday:  Worked hard and invited a guy to be baptized in a taxi. Then after had a dope noche de hogar and started an exchange with the elders of sipe sipe, the farthest area west in the mission! So I went from being in Sacaba and Villa Tunari, the farthest east areas in the mission to the farthest west area for a day! You can't even see the Cristo from here, it's so far!  Wednesday: Well we were set up for a fire exchange, but then we see a message that we didn't see from Tuesday night that Elder Cadillo had his welcome to the mission meeting in presidentes house that morning! So we had to unexchange and then run over to presidentes house! And it was a fire time! Got to hear Some great messages from presidente and Hermana lopera and then we went to the Cristo! Super fire and then we went to the bunker and had some fire steak and got to eat c...

Monday, February 3, 2025 Que tal yall!  This week went well!  We had a lot of miracles, found a lot of cool people and the spirit was very strong! I honestly can't remember too much of what happened just that we felt the spirit a lot this week and we were able to find a lot of people who needed to hear the message of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ!  One particular instance was that we were out tracting with a recent convert. He is preparing for his patriarchal blessing and we were able to have a powerful conversation with him about the gospel! After taking cover from a huge rainstorm, we headed back out looking for member family who has a son who isn't baptized. Well we knocked on the wrong door... but the man let us in. We taught him about the Book of Mormon and the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. The spirit was so powerful! It was insanely powerful. The recent convert Bore his testimony and I felt the spirit so strong! We gave him a book of Mormon, but he declined...

Monday, January 27, 2025 Que tal yall!  Here's the rundown. We pull up to transfers and I honestly had no idea what to expect, just that I knew that I was going to a new area because I had my bags. Well President calls the trainers up first and he calls my name! I run up to hug my son Elder Cadillo! I'm training!!!! So fire!!! And what's also crazy is that we are opening up an área!!! So wild!  I'm so pumped to be training again! This brings my posterity to 3 sons and 1 grandson! And I couldn't have been blessed up with a better hijo. Elder Cadillo is an absolute dawg! He's from Peru and he's ready to work and he understands the importance of obedience! A fire has lit in me and we are going to be working as hard as we can in this beautiful area of Vinto 2 while focusing on obedience and consecration! Oh yeah that too... after 8 months of being in Sacaba I'm in a whole new territory. I'm on the complete opposite of the mission in Quillacollo and it...

Monday, January 20, 2025 Que tal yall!  I am out of time but the highlight of the week was going to the temple with Rene! It was such a powerful experience and he loved it! Then yesterday I got to bless the sacrament with him! It's been so awesome to see his growth and he's looking forward to the future for his next steps in the gospel of Jesus Christ!  Sorry probably the shortest email ever but I love yall and have a great week!  Love, Elder Richards 

Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Que tal yall! This week was pretty fire. We had some big miracles that I want to share.  First off, we received a reference from Facebook from a guy named Roberto who wanted to come closer to God. We did a videocall with him and taught him about the Book of Mormon and the power that it has in helping us come closer to Christ. Near the end, we asked if he had any question and he said "where can I get one of those books?" We asked if we could go by that same day and he said he was free right then. We got there in 15 minutes and gave him a copy. He was very grateful. We went back the next day and he had read and loved it. He unfortunately couldn't come to church but we have a lesson this evening with him and it should be fire. On Sunday, our recent convert Rene received the Aaronic priesthood! Yesterday we taught him everything about the sacrament and on Saturday we are going to go to the temple with him to do baptisms and then on Sunday he will ble...
