11/15/25 Here we are again, my friends! For this week’s post I’m going with a random list of odds & ends. There may be no rhyme or reason to some things, but they were part of our week, they made me smile, and for that I am grateful! Let’s get started and see what comes…

11/8/25 Recently my sweet friend Ásta shared a BYU devotional with me that was given by Elder Steven Lund in 2022 called “Flashes of Light”. In the devotional, Elder Lund talks about how we can see God more clearly in our lives when we look back and consider His hand in guiding and blessing us.…

11/1/25 Hello, Friends! We’ve had such a fun week. Thank you for coming to read all about it! Let’s start off with something that dominated our week and made it really beautiful . . . SNOW! Winter is definitely here. The snow brought October to an end and ushered in November with it’s beauty and…

10/25/25 We’re sitting at our table working on different things this afternoon as I start writing this week’s post. It’s the usual set up, we’re both on computers across from each other working away at projects. Today I’ve spent time on our upcoming missionary Christmas fireside, sorting the branch directory and making lists about what…

10/18/25 Hello from Iceland! Let’s get right into a good and busy week. On Sunday we had the second day of the fall Iceland District Conference. We were happy to hear from our district leaders and spend time with our friends from church. In the picture below you will see L-R: President Bragi Svavarsson, 1st…

10/11/25 Welcome back to another blog post in the Richardson Missions saga! We’ve had a great week and we have lots of mission work to report. Let’s do a day by day report for this post. There’s a beautiful new hymn that has been on my mind this week and it sums up some of…

10/4/25 We began this week with the sad news of President Russel M. Nelson’s death. President Nelson was the prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 2018. We love him and we have loved following his prophetic leadership. While we will miss him, we are profoundly grateful for the pattern established…

9/27/25 Hello, again! And welcome to another episode of senior missionary work in Iceland! We are happy you are here and we are happy we are here. Here’s what we’ve been up to this week: On Sunday we were able to attend and participate in the baptism of our friend Fortune. She is from Cameroon…

9/20/25 It is hard to believe that the first year of our mission is over. On September 16, 2024 we entered the MTC and on September 24, 2024 we came to Iceland. In some ways it has been a long year! And in so many ways it has really flown by. We have several friends…

9/13/25 Wow, it’s been a week! Get comfortable and here we go! Several months ago Todd and I began to plan a trip around the ring road. We decided to take our trip in September of this year to celebrate the half way point of our mission (woohoo!) and to explore the east side of…

9/6/25 It is hard to believe that it is September. We are having beautiful weather, we are busy working and serving as we have always done. And yet, we are in the month that our mission started one year ago. I’ll probably be reminiscing about this all month. How can we be half way through…

September 2, 2025 Iceland Zone Conference & Mission tour with President & Sister Aidukaitis. As part of our zone conference we made President & Sister Aidukaitis a small gift. Each of the elders shared a picture of themselves somewhere in Iceland along with a thought about serving as missionaries in Iceland. I made it into…

8/30/25 While this week started out as a typical missionary week for us, it quickly took a turn in a different direction! Read on to see what we’ve been up to as we finish out the month of August. Sunday and Monday were full of our regular work. On Sunday we had our church meetings,…

8/23/25 Hello, again! Greetings from Reykjavik — we’ve had a great week! For the first half of this week my mom was here continuing her visit with us. We really appreciate that she would travel so far to join us for a week. She was a real trooper to hang out with us while we…

8/16/25 Hi, everyone! Another week has flown by (and blown by)! Here’s what we’ve been up to: We started the week with another great day with Patriarch and Sister McQuivey. We drove them and their son to Selfoss with us Sunday morning where we attended the branch meetings and Patriarch McQuivey gave two patriarchal blessings…
