Mexington
Bueno bueno bueno!!!
So I bet you are all thinking that I am super sad to get transferred. Nope. I am not. Actually, I was really happy. I got a really strong confirmation that I am supposed to be here. So things are really going great. They have a lot of work going on here. There is a ward, and we cover both English and Spanish people. So it will be really good! This town is a town of like 10k and like 8k of the 10 are Hispanic. It’s pretty crazy, that’s why they call it Mexington. Things are really good though. I loved conference. I thought that the New Provo Temple is a big highlight as well! That was really cool to me! I can't say I have a favorite talk, I think the priesthood session was really awesome though. I think it was well fitted to rebuke all the young men! I loved that! Besides conference, nothing much has really happened. There was a part-member family I met who is an older couple, and the guy is Jewish, but he told us he wants to hear the lessons again. So that should be pretty sweet! We also have like 6 other part-members families who are Hispanic. This place is so crazy, but I like it. It’s small, but oh well. I think I do best here in the small towns though! The drive was a little bit long, but I got to see all the mission again and realize that I do not know anyone in the mission anymore. Literally, I was like....who are you? I guess that’s what I get for being an old missionary. But it was pretty funny! I got to see a lot of old friends though. I drove the truck down from Siouxland. It was fun. I love that I know how to drive a truck and trailer. It makes me feel good to know I can do “manly” things. It was sad to leave though. I think I spent like 4 hours visiting with all the people in Wynstone – non-members and members - just talking about life. They asked some questions too, which was pretty sweet. I will miss it there. But one good thing about serving a stateside mission, I can always come back, or they can always come visit!
I can't really think of anything else to say except that my companion is pretty cool. Real intelligent and really stubborn. I will be honest with you, President told me that I am here to help him out. aka, I am babysitting. He was born in Guatemala, moved to Logan, Utah when he was young, and lived there ever since until he came here. Since then, his family moved back to Guatemala. But he is just struggling with his testimony and stuff with the mission. So I am here to help him! Which I know that the Lord knows me, and picked me to help him out! Everything is good though. I love my life, and I am so happy I got to see conference. It was such a great experience to hear the prophets voice and all the wonderful tidings they brought. I think, for sure, it was a great conference. I took some study notes on the spiritual recognitions. Now it’s time to apply all the re-evaluated things I need to do better as a person, missionary, brother, son, friend etc. I am excited. I love the mission but more importantly I love you all so much. Thank you for all the support you give me, I pray for you nightly. I love you all sooooo much! Have a great week!!!
Con amor,
Elder Bradley Rigby
