Elder Rigby's Adventures

Hello Family!  I'll look at my email in a few hours for a couple of minutes to send a couple pictures. feel free to send a few questions my way. Thank you for all your love! I absolutely loved your loving cards! Also it was really fun to get new shirts, ties, garments, and some extra cash:)  It was hard to spend my first Birthday away from home but as we graduated our 90 day program of p90x, the elders gathered around me and sang happy birthday.  Judith cooked some tamales for me, President Schoenwald's boys made me birthday cards and cookies, and A gem of lady/recent convert in Brewster made me a BIG carne asada dinner with Carrot cake, I felt right at home. It was so strange to be away from Stockton. Stockton, I love you bro I missed you. I hear that your praying for these people I'm working with. Thank you so much Bro. I know you are not the same Stockton that I left 9 months ago. I know that Christ has strengthened you and I'm so proud of you. I hope your B...

April 17, 2017 Hey Everyone!  STOCKTON HAVE A GRAND BIRTHDAY PAL!!!!!  I love you all so much! hope you had a great week! Don't got much time but here is an update! I'll respond to y'all in letter thank you so much for the package, letters, and all your emails. I feel so loved from all of you!   We worked hard this week. The numbers didn't show it but mentally, spiritually, and physically we gave it our all! We saw miracles! There were heartbreaks along the way but for me Christ's light shines the brightest against a darker canvas. First off above all miracles my dear friend Robert got a job! He came over to our house, knocked on the door (remember he lives across the street in a tent) apple in one hand, knife in the other and said, "hey guys I got a job." I jumped out the door and gave him a big hug. Wonderful! The funny thing is that the orchard he works in is right next to our home. He simply needed to ask them if he could get a job...

Hello Everyone! This week has been such a growth for me! I love you all and hope you are doing very well! It seems every M onday  the lord gives me a scripture that describes a week. Today I read 2 Nephi 31:20 20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life. What really stood out to me was press forward. To keep going, keep following Jesus and muster up all the hope and love that our hearts have to muster and then we shall find peace, strength, joy, and God's love! Sadly I sell myself short a lot. I focus so much on giving my all, which is a great thing, but when I don't accept my all as enough it becomes a very sad ordeal. This week God's taught me that my best is enough. Jesus will make up the difference! When the end...

Buenos Dias a todos de Ustedes! I hope you all just love General Conference! God speaks and we better listen:)  Thank you all so much for your many prayers. Through your faith in my behalf I have felt such great love from God! Thank you! God has helped me but we have yet to see the miracles for our brothers and sisters in Bridgeport. Keep praying! The miracle comes only after the trial of faith. I will work very hard that our prayers may be answered! Maleck That is so cool you are going on the Screamer Good luck Pal! I hope you just have a fantastic day too! Thank you so much for praying for them Maleck! That means a ton to me. You are such a cool little brother!  Stockton Hey Stockton! haha that's so true I bet your ankle is just beat! Don't get too soft on me ok;) I feel that you are being a great big brother.

President Lewis with Brewster Elders, Elder Garcia, and myself Elder Garcia and Elder Rigby (me) zone conference schedule Dear Family and Friends! Dad thank you so much for the package that was so greatly appreciated! I absolutely love the music and that was so thoughtful of you to put lyrics in their as well. I love you Dad. We meet so many little boys I'm sure they are going to love the candy as well! cant wait to use the nut cracker this week:) I've read a little more of your missionary journal this week and early memories of you playing with me and the brothers when we were pretty young have recently been filling my mind. Your mission changed you; and therefore it changed my life. Dad, may our Father be thanked for your making you into the Dad I needed. He could have never have changed you if you didn't let him. I pray that I will let the mission change me so I can be that Father who not only provided greatly but loved me enough to spend summer ...

Hola mi familia! I was overjoyed to see the conference talk you all sent me. It was so fun and uplifting to read through those talks and reading all of your comments. It really helped me thatnk you.You are walking in a great path. I am so proud and at peace with the thought that you are all staying close to God! This is the answer to my greatest prayer thank you! Bridgeport is doing very well! With the weather warming up everything seems to be getting better!  Elder Garcia and I are becoming better friends. We pray for each other, laugh with each other, talk more with each other, and enjoy each other more! The Mission is a great place to be when you have a friend. I am very grateful for Elder Garcia. One morning he asked God to bless his second family, my family, this touched my heart! What a good guy. The work also is getting better! The Aguilar family, Judith and her boy s, are doing very well! I think all missionaries have this worry but I was worried that a...
