hey

Hey Fam,

Another great week out here in México. This week flew by so fast, cant believe todays monday.

Man this week was kind of crazy. We saw a lot of blessings but a had a couple rough moments. But its all good cause thats the mish. Friday we had changes with the Zone leaders and it was so awesome. The zone leader Elder Villanueva and I busted our butts friday. He is an awesome Elder and i learned so much from him. 

The mish has been really good, Starting to feel pretty much fluent with the language. Im loving teaching the gospel and im learning so much. Really grateful for how the Lord has prepared so many people to hear the goepel and has prepared me to teach it. I love that the Lord has a plan for us and that its a perfect plan. We have been making it a goal in our mission to teach and testify of the Book of Mormon during our lessons. I dont think ive ever had more espiritual experinces in my life than when we testify of the trithfullness de el Libro de Mormón. Sincerly have no doubt in my mind and i know with all my heart its true. Really invite everyone to read it and apply it to your life. I know that it will literally change your life and help you feel the spirit of the Lord. Read it and pray about it to see if its true. Its the rock in my life along with the gospel and i know it can help any person in there life.

I love you all so much and thank you for all your support :)

Love,
Elder Nobmann Riddle

Hola

Hey Fam,

This week went really well. The weeks in the mish are just flying by, its so crazy. 

This week we had divisions for the day so i got the opportunity to work with another elder for the day. It went really well, always an awesome experince to learn from others. Later in the week my comp and i had the opportuinty to have our persoanal studies in the morning with our zone leader and ass. to the prez. We talked about the Book of Mormon and how its the key to our religion. It was really awesome. Its so amazing how powerful that Book is. It literally changes lives and when we testify of its truthfullness the spirit is always so strong. I dont have a doubt in my mind that The Book of Mormon is true. And its awesome cause if you want to find out for yourselve all you have to do is read it and pray for an answer.

Saturday we had a baptism for Raziel. Hes 8 years old and a straight stud. During one of our lessons we asked him a question and he nailed it then said This is easy jaja. How funny is that. Sunday when he was confirmed the spirit was so strong had me in tears.   So grateful for the is opportunity to serve. Words cant describe how amazing the mission is. The days are so long and hard but they are so worth it. 

I love you all so much and i hope you have an amazing week :)

Love,
Elder Nobmann Riddle

Familias

Hey Fam,

Another great week in the mission. Really been working hard and talking with everyone and sharing the gospel :) Its so awesome to hear that Ian is home and that him and mom rocked their talks on Sunday. I love you you guys so much and miss you tons. Ian you are the man and mom, dad, and Jack you guys are the best. Wish i was to hug you all but I know with out a doubt the mission is where im supposed to be. Love you guys more than all the tamales y dulces en el mundo :)

This week we had some really awesome lessons. Its so amazing how the Lord prepares people then puts them in our path. two different people we are teaching we contacted in the streets. it was from following a prompting from the Lord and acting. They both are so ready to hear the gospel its so awesome. The best part about contacting them was both times before i contacted them i talked with 8 or more other people who werent too kind or just didnt care to listen. It was an awesome example how the Lord gives us promptings to see if we´ll act on it. But sometimes nothing comes from it, its just the Lords way to build His trust in us and eventually the next promting is the one that brings the blessings. I guess what ive learned is to always listen to the promptings no matter what. 

The mish is really starting to move fast. Now that i can speak fine and understand im able to work harder and talk more with people and the days just fly by. Im excited for everyday in the mish cause its another day to serve and grow my testimony I love you all tons and everyone please give Ian the biggest hug for me, I miss that dude more than anything.

Love

Felicidades

Familia,

Wow what an amazing Conference. First conferencia en español and it was tough but I could understand a lot. Cant wait till the Liahona comes out so i can reread them though haha. But I love the talks and it was a really awesome experince to listen to those two talks de los setenta en their native language spanish and understand them. We had 5 inv. go to confernce and every single one of them loved it, que bueno! So gretful for our prophet Thomas S Monson and all the people who spoke in conferencia. Its crazy cause everything they talked about and testified of are the things we are teaching and testifing here in the mish. What an amazing opportunidad. 

This we was really great. Elder Polanco and I have been putting in work. We spend the day teaching in houses, the streets, in stores, in the elevators, wherever we can we teach. It is the greatest thing Iv ever done cause when we teach we feel the spirit and no feeling compares to the feeling of the spirit. We had some really awesome experinces this week and awesome lessons. Really learning to listen to every single promopting of the spirit because its always right. Weve had some awesome experinces when we listen to the spirit. 

I loved how in confernce everyone talked a little or a lot about the atonement of jesucristo. I know through the atonement not only can we be clean of sins but we can recieve the help in every area in our life. When we are obedient, do all the little things the Lord asks, and activiely use the atonement in our lives we can recieve blessings and help from the Lord. I know this church is true and i know Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us. He knows us personally and wants to help us with everything in our lives. Gratful for this time in the mish. Its been an awesome time for me to grow my testimony and see the Lords love for me and others.

I love you all tons and as always im so grateful for your support and letters. I hope you all have a great week. Oh Ian, Jack, Mom, and Dad i love you all more than you could ever know and im so gratful we are sealed for enternity :) 

Love,
Elder Nobmann Riddle
