A text from Judith




While I was waiting for Elder Rigby's Monday email, I received the most unexpected text from Judith (She and her two sons, Alex and Bryan were baptized last week).  It was the best text ever...
Judith-Hi how are you? I am Judith.  Thank you for the gift.

Me- so nice to hear from you!  We have been praying constantly for you.  We are so excited about your choice to be baptized.  Congratulations! So happy you liked the gift!

Judith- Thank you very much.  We liked the gift. You have a good son.  Thanks to he and his companion to come to us to my how to teach us the scriptures now in my home there is more love and happiness!
Me- God loves you Judith!
And this is why we encouraged our son to serve a mission!

2 months in the field

Thanks grandma Rigby- a nice big burrito to celebrate 2 months in the field! Dear Family and Friends,   Wow this has been the shortest week of the mission! Which means I'm being caught more up in the work-loosing myself! Personally, besides a little head cold I am soooo great right now! Recently I've been caught up in Alma 32-34 there is so much to learn from these Chapters! I personally learned after a week of study that we must humble ourselves and look to Christ. by doing this, we will come to know him and the burdens upon our backs will be made light through joy in him and we will receive eternal life.

I know that Jesus is The Christ. He is the way! I know that as I look unto...

1 lap down- setting a good pace

Oh my goodness this week was fantastic! For me personally I feel like I'm beginning to catch the vision! It's very easy to get into just doing the motions but not really realizing what we are doing as missionaries. Lately I've been thinking a lot about what a big deal it is for people when we knock on their door. We do the hour of tracting a day or even more sometimes and everyday I've been meeting, for the most part, very kind people who have great families. Elder Nelson and I have done a pretty good job at speaking with these people, getting to know them, sharing briefs statements of restored truths, and then inviting them to do something, but when we ask when we can come back they just don't commit. This saddens me because the more I think of it, the decision they make to not invite us back is like me choosing not to come on a mission-disastrous. I read in Alma today how I can help us get in the door.....Alma 13:27-29 27 And now, my brethren, I wish from the i...
