A quick note home

Best Friends
 Dear Family,
Today, I arrived at the mission home.  I love you all very much.  I hope school is going well!  Madsen, Stockton, I hope high school is going great!  Stockton don’t forget to take care of Madsen!

Stockton, Good Luck with Football!  Every Friday night I will make sure to work extra hard so hopefully, the Lord can bless you with some added luck (J/K).  Madsen I hope you are enjoying high school and making new friends!  I love you bro.   I pray for you always.

Emma!  I hope middle school is going well!  I made so many new friends in 6th grade.  I hope you will too.  I love you!

Maleck what are you doing this fall?  I miss you pal!  I hope you’re loving 2nd grade! 
I am doing so well!  I tried very hard today to share the message that Christ lives and also give Book Mormons.
I placed two by the grace of God (was also rejected 3 times).
Love you all so much!
Elder Rigby

Coming Home

Image
  It wasn't Paris, or Zimbabwe, or Portugal- it was Yakima, Washington and to our family it is sacred ground.  Ground that we sent our brother and son to... for two years.  Our other four grew up while Seleck was gone-some of it was pretty tough.  Looking back now, it was worth it. And I am pretty certain we had angels watching over us for those two years.   We arrived at the mission home at 8:30 am on June 19th- a day we had been counting down to for quite sometime.  What a reunion it was!  President and Sister Lewis served us an amazing breakfast- thank you!  We enjoyed visiting with the other Elders who would soon be joining their families across the United States.   For the next four days, we visited, hugged, laughed, and shared so much with the people Seleck served and served with--- there are so many ways to be a missionary- just ask the Schonwald family in Bridgeport, Washington or Brother and Sister Lott in Moses Lake.  And if you want to know a

The drop off- Weeping Wednesday

Image
Families are Forever...   I am starting a new blog today to record Seleck's adventures as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This is his blog.  I am just the story keeper.  Each week I will share his letters, emails, and pictures.  Today, I share with you our "Weeping Wednesday."  We dropped Elder Rigby off at the Provo MTC yesterday, Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 1:45 pm.  There were 647 missionaries entering the MTC with him. If I ever wondered if these kids loved each other, today gave me the answer.... These three little boys now grown tall have always held my heart! I want to be a missionary now. I don't want to wait until I've grown... Like Father Like Son The best things are always the hardest! There is nothing quite like this bond. Heart wrenching- the birthday brothers!   Seleck challenged

1st transfers

Image
Hello! I made it through the first transfer!!! This week has been fantastic. I'm coming closer to Christ. I'm my first investigator and this one is progressing!  I've learned so much this week. Lately I've been struggling on  how to create a productive language study plan, but I received an answer that really opened things up for me!  Everything we do every moment of the day as missionaries is to help or prepare to help others. My study plan should be soley focused on helping others come unto Christ using whatever materials or methods possible to make that happen. Like my study plan every thing I do from exercising, eating, personal study, companionship study, 12-week training study, sleeping, p-day, taking a minute to relax, teaching, finding, and even using the restroom:) should be focused on preparing to help or helping people come unto Christ!  This concept of everything we do should be focused on helping others come unto Christ is something I plan to c
