Elder Rigby's Adventures

Hello Everyone! It's me your watermelon loving servant of the lord! I was over joyed to receive your emails! I also so very much loved the package with the very nice sweatshirt and all the do-dads! I'm writing a letter to respond to your emails but I just wanted to say! GOOD WORK! My Family is living the commandments of God! Even if we are in the biggest storm how can we fear if Jesus is in our boat! Ok so what is happening in Toppenish... This last week I went on exchange with an Elder in my District Elder Hibbard we prayed very specificaly that God would help us achieve our Goals of finding 2 less actives(setting the ground work to bring them back), inviting someone to baptism, and finding 2 new investigators. The more I've been out here the more I've realized that I'm just a pawn. I can only have success in this maze of the mission if I allow myself to break before the lord and listen. That day that is what I tried to do. Elder Hibbard and I wer...

Hello Family, My heart goes out to you as I write this email this beautiful Monday morning in the Yakima Indian Reservation. I have some great news to share but first I would like to write to everyone personally. Dad Thanks for your email! Your words of how we still can progress even though we are imperfect reached me.

Best of luck with the quartet! I always wanted to go on a trek! I love you Dad! Dad over the last week I've truly been impressed with the importance of relationships. On our way down to Hood River I got to know the amazing man that was nice enough to drive us down-Brother Everts. He reminded me a lot of Grandpa Rigby and the sack luch that his wife made was exaclty like something Grandma Rigby would make. I felt right at home. Thank you Dad for helping me understand the greatness of...

This week.... The devil was hitting me hard this week! Elder Ramirez has been lacking motivation to proselyte. He doesn't tell me much about it but apparently this kid is allergic to almost everything-gluten,eggs,dairy, peaches, etc. I have no idea what he's not allergic too! However he eats everything at dinner and thus he gets sick sometimes which weakens his resolve to work hard and because he doesn't talk much I don't know if he's just being lazy or if he really is in a bunch of pain! Anyways lack of interest during our companionship study and overall sluggishness has really kicked me in the face and tried my patience.  I'm a loving guy and God forced me to pray to him constantly for help. However, after a great interview with president where tears just fell from my face from expressing how I see so many people, especially families, here in Toppenish and I want to save them by bringing them to him but we're struggling to find them and I want to fin...
