Hello my wonderful family,

I'm just so so EXCITED for this Conference Weekend!!!!!!


Ricks Family this past week was just awesome. It was a week filled with blessing and just some super super fun experiences :) As you all probably heard in my voice recording this past week... Sunday night until Tuesday Morning i had the opportunity to have Elder Wright ( MY BEST FRIEND) Elder White and Elder Bannister in my house because they were returning home. It was just so so much fun but at the same time put me so so off.... hahah They were pretty funny though :) When the Elders left on Tuesday at 3:50
 in the Morning i went back to bed, had to wake up at 6:30 as usually and prepare my self physically hahah for the district meeting i had at 9 hahah. It was tough but well well worth it ;) My companion this past week was super super sick.... but even sick he was willing to work. It was actually pretty funny.... it was about 7 pm at night and he was just bad... we were watching movies from the church all day long and at about 7 we were watching a movie about Brigham Young, and in the movie Brigham was very very sick but went out to work to share the gospel... my companion jumped from his mattress and said, " ELDER:.... Con quien tenemeos ahorita " .... hahah So he got right up, changed, and we went out to work and we found a family of 3 new investigators!! I look up to my companion so so so so much!!!! This past week even though was a little hard.. we had a bunch of success. We are finally finding new investigators, we have investigators progressing, and we are just LOVING THE MISSION. I am so so happy to be a missionary, and to be here in Bogotá Colombia in the Kennedy Stake finding and blessing the lives of so so many sons and daughters of my Heavenly Father. The mission is just the BEST!!!!!!!!

Thats all i have time for Ricks Fam....... ;( I hope you all enjoy my recording and enjoy hearing my voice... I really need to do those things more often :) I LOVE you all so so much and i am so grateful for each and every one of you. I cant wait to hear from and to write you all next week. WE ARE THE RICKS, and My family is the best family in the WORLD!!!!!!!

I love you all so so much,

Bye, Mommy and Daddy, James and Janelle, Hannah and Cameron, Chan man, Claire bear, and Gracie girl!!!!

Tell next Monday,

Your son, your bro, your missionary,

Elder Michael S. Ricks
