WOW! can you believe it is the end of august already? Where does the time go ?! This week has been good. Sister Richeson and I work our bums off pretty much every single day... i haven't been this tired since my first week here!
I hope you all got my pictures! and the note to not take all of them off the sd card when you send it back :)
I don't have a lot of updates for this week.. I feel like I just emailed all of you! Brother V is still set to be baptized in september.. so that's really exciting! we are still working with Sister Douglas and the member who just got out of jail.. they all seem to be doing fairly well though!
I love being a missionary. i can't believe i have almost been gone from home for 4 months. that means that i barely have 15 left and i just don't know if that's enough time! I feel like I am still learning how to be a missionary! Sister Richeson and I have really focused on working hard but still having fun. That's what it's all about, right? I think that's what life is about. If you aren't having fun, you are doing something wrong. :) the best way to have fun is to have fun while following what our Heavenly Father wants us to do. that way we can have fun and still have all of the blessing Heavenly Father is bound to give us if we are obedient. :)
Today we are trying to go to china town.. it's POURING outside. like rivers in the street. being in the city is such a fun experience! Sister Richeson came from upstate, so she is experiencing public transportation for the first time. Oh the joys ;)
This email is probably really scattered and confusing. Sorry. also, if there are a lot of random spaces, blame the apple computer!
Love all of you!

Oh! i should probably tell you about my new companion :) she's so cute and she' s from st george. we both have really expensive taste and we both needed to serve in the ghetto so we can learn to be humble. sis richeson loves cheetah print and has TONS of cute clothes! We get along really well and we can teach together really well, which is the best part!
Oh. and I totally trust you to get something cute from down east. they don't sell too many ugly things there ;)

Pictures
Carlee sent home her SD card with pictures on it. This time she did not have any commentary to go with it so, enjoy :)
If you look close, this video is not a stalking video but a video of the fire flies in New York. (You will have to make the video bigger)
Elders will be Elders, what more can you say?
