already been out here for nine months, and I only have nine left to
go! I love being a missionary and being able to just love people. I am
so amazed with how many people I have come to love. They have become a
part of my family, and I am so eternally grateful that Heavenly Father
has designed a plan that will let me have my family forever!
Last night we had dinner with some members and they had invited a
college professor friend of theirs. She asked me and Sister White,
"What has lead you to do something so counter-cultural for kids your
age?" It was a great testimony builder for me to be able to boldly
exclaim that I am doing what I am because I have deep faith in Christ.
I was able to "bear down in pure testimony" (Alma 4:19) and proclaim
that I am willing to do what is asked of me because I believe
completely in the things that I teach about. Nothing and no one can
ever convince otherwise. Even if I go home without having helped
anyone else come unto Christ, I know that I have a deep-rooted
testimony that will never leave me. I also know that it will take work
to keep that testimony, but I am certainly willing to work for that! I
love this work and these people so much!
There is a new Facebook "movement" called "Called to Share."

If you have been looking for a way to be a better member missionary,
here is your chance! Go add yourself to the group and follow the
instructions. Heavenly Father is inspiring people to move the work
forward, so don't miss a chance to be a part of it!
I looooove you all so much and I'm so excited to have you all for eternity!
Love, Sister Ricks
