Dinner with Brett and Janet Bergeson

Elder Nuniez and Elder Rigby
 We were delighted to receive this great text from Moses Lake last night.  Here is the exchange between Brother and Sister Bergeson

 Them- We had these great missionaries over the other night from the Spanish branch... we love them.  We serve with them in the YW and Elders Quorum.  We are coming to Cedar City for Christmas and knew your son was from there.  We have them coming back to our home the Tuesday after Thanksgiving if you have something you want us to bring back for him.  We will be there Thursday and Friday (We have a son serving in Ghana right now).
Elder Nuniez, Brother Bergeson, and Elder Rigby
us- Hanging Christmas lights today and missing him.  This picture mad our day!  Yes, we would love to send something back to him.  Please let us know when you arrive. By the way, what are your names and who will you be visiting?

 Them-  We are Brett and Janet Bergeson.  We are coming to spend Thanksgiving with my sister Debbie Taylor and her husband Rusty.  .
Us- Wonderful!  It will be nice to meet you!

 I go to bed with a grateful heart tonight that the Saints in Moses Lake are taking care of Elder Rigby!

 I just found this On Sister Lewis's Yakima Mission Blog

 Elder Sanchez
I’m thankful for my companion. He helps me in my spiritual progression.
I’m thankful for my leaders. They care about me and make me feel loved.
I’m grateful for repentance and the miracle of forgiveness.
Elder Rigby
I’m grateful for Jesus Christ above all. No matter who I am or was, I can always change and become more clean, a better brother, a better son.
I’m grateful I can be with my family forever.
I’m grateful for Mexican food: tortillas, limes, incredible meat, salsa, soups, beans.
And I love the members here for their sincere hearts, for trying hard, for teaching me and for opening their hearts to us.

1st transfers

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

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
