Semana de Ocho Meses?



So 8 months eh? not much!!

The months go by so fast! You have no idea. It seems like yesterday I was saying bye, and the day after that I was landing here! What goes on with this time! Oh well. So this week really was so boring and just nothing much. But it was a really good week though! I don't know why. The work wasn't amazing nor were the days, but it was good! I think it’s because I have been saying 30 minute prayers at night. They are so amazing! If you haven't done that before, try it. It will change your life for sure! But yeah. I will get going on the weekly update. It will be a shorty. Nothing much went on, so ya!

Tuesday - We only taught 2 people! I don't know what it was. No one was home this week! But we had a really good Plan of Salvacion lecion con Lorenzo y Solidad! They both loved it and it was great. The problem with them - they both are ready for baptism, but not for marriage, which is not good. I can't remember who else we taught. I think… a… ah... it was Olga. Same exact situation, except her "boyfriend" is against the church and wont' get hitched. Ah! I don't get it! You have kids together, you live together, but yet you won't get married? Spanish culture is crazy, but i love it!

Wednesday - We had zone conference all day. It was good to see my friends and learn some great stuff from President and Sister Kunz! It was good. I am liking the style of teaching with which the mission department has decided to go. It’s a lot more personable. Different from when pops was on his mish!

Thursday - I was sick all day with the trots. Not fun!!! So yeah. That was all!

Friday - We taught Lorenzo y Soledad again. We just asked questions the whole entire time! And man, it was way Spiritual. I hope it helped them figure out the marriage situation and stuff! Ah. I have been praying my knees off for them!

Saturday - Was so fun! In the morning, we did some service for the house again. We continued with the shed. We met like 3 new people to teach while we were there. It was great. Also, we planned to go see some less actives down in Hastings, NE. and on Saturday, it was also Kool-Aid days. That’s where Kool-Aid was invented! So yeah. We checked that out for like an hour after we had done some searching for the people. And, yeah, we even saw President there. It was weird, he wasn’t in church clothes. But he said, “Hi!” So after that, we invited everyone to our Saturday night basketball activity. We actually had 2 investigators there. It was great! This area is great for investigators. The ward really loves them!

Sunday - This day was not good - No one came to church, and I had to speak on developing talents. Man, I just read out of the Gospel Principles book. I didn't feel like composing a talk, so I winged it! But, yeah, then we knocked doors the rest of the day - and no one home.

Monday – Today, I don't know. Just chill. We are out here with just us, so not much to do! oh well!

So family, I miss you. 8 months since I have seen ya, except Jess, it’s been 7. How funny is that? But seriously, just trust in the Lord whatever you do. He will always be there for us. I have learned through prayer that the Lord will always be there for us. I really had a spiritual experience during my personal prayer for 30 minutes and it really built my testimony a lot more. The Lord has definitely blessed me so much - being able to speak this language and, not only that, but he speaks through me! I am on His clock so I have to be patient and I will be. I love you all so much! I hope you have a fantastic week all! Love and miss ya!

Love always,

Elder Bradley Rigby
