letter from June 1

Dear Dad,I haven't gotten your letter yet, the mail here is slow, no surprise. This week has been kind of a bummer, we had a baptism on saturday, but sadly she didn't show up for church on sunday to be confirmed. No one in her family is answering their phones, and on one has yet to respond to our messages. This got sister smith and I a little down yesterday, plus i wasn't feeling well due to my very painful back spasm. After church we went out to work till 3:00 then needed to go back to the apartment due to the way we were feeling. Sister Smith called Sister McConkie and they talked for awhile, i did the dishes and straightened the kitchen. When we were both done doing what we were doing we both took a nap. I woke up to the door knocker on our apartment door, i poked my head out of the bedroom door to see President and Sister Mc Conkie! They were at the church for seminary graduation and felt like they needed to stop by and see us... i was mortified! President stayed in the living room and talked with sister smith and sister mc conkie came and sat with me in the bedroom and we talked about how i was feeling (emotionally and physically). It turns out the Elder Miller has the same symptoms as i do, and the doctor told him that he had a muscle spasm as well, crazy right? The muscle relaxants the doctor gave me havn't been helping so sister mc conkie said to wait another week and if it felt worse then they would send me to another doctor for more tests, it could still be a kidney stone is what the mission doctor said.As this is a new month im going to start it off right with a positive attitude, this week is going to be good! First off, its p-day, its the first of the month which means money in the msf account, and another 1,000 miles on the car! Its almost going to be a vacation this week (still going to work hard, don't worry) p-day today, going to see a counselor? tomorrow, zone conference on friday, and a zone wide half marathon run on saturday (im walking/jogging the 5K instead because of my condition). Hopefully all will go well, i plan on seeing many miracles in june! We've got some awesome investigators who will hopefully be getting baptized (as soon as we can get them to stop smoking, and as soon as we can get the other one to get her babys daddy to marry her), im soooo excited to have such golden investigators!Im going to be printing off some pictures at wal-mart today and im planning on sending them off with a package tomorrow to you! I love y'all and i hope things stay great at home!Have a blessed week,Sister Richards
