Lo más padre

Hey,

Well another week down here in Mexico and i am loving it. Things are going really well here and i'm learning tons everyday. Oh i got my package from Grandpa Paul last week, it was full of american chocolate. It was so amazing, ll i can say is that my comp and i both gained a couple pounds this week jaja.

This week we had three different zone conferences and they actually went really great. I had a lot of fun, I love working with those missionaries and listening to president teach. One of the coolest things i have learned these past 5 months is how to capacitate missionaries. I used to not like the conferences but now i love them. They give me pre game jitters which is a sweet feeling! But the best part is the opportunity to testify do a group of missionaries that this work is true and that our Heavenly Father loves us more than we can imagine. I love this Gospel so much and I love this time in the mission. 

On Sunday one of our converts baptised his son which was really awesome. Now the family is complete and next year they plan on entering the temple which is so great. The baptism was so special, the primary sang songs and my comp and i did a musical number. My comp sings really good so we have been singing a lot lately. We all had tears in our eyes when the kids were singing including our convert who did the baptism. Im so grateful to know the truthfulness of this gospel and have it in my life.  

Well i'm doing really good, i am so grateful for your letters and support. Sorry if sometimes i don't have time to write back, sometimes we don't have much time to write. I hope you all have a great week.

Sea Feliz, Sea Mormon

Hey, 

This week went by pretty fast but I learned a lot. We had changes all week with the zone leaders and it went great. I love working with those missionaries, they are pretty awesome. The best part is that sometimes i'm with another american comp and its such a crazy feeling walking the streets of Mexico with another white boy speaking spanish jaja. Some of those fun moments here in the mish.

I was able to enter the Temple with some Elders who finished their mish on Friday. Wow it was so awesome, i love going to the Temple. Its crazy how fast time goes in the mish so it was nice to be able to enter the Temple and feel that peace. These next couple of weeks we have zone conferences so my comp and i have to prepare to give 5 different conferences with President. It will be my second one as AP so i feel a lot more confident and a little less stressed jaja. But the best part about them are hearing the insight of some many missionaries and from our mission president. It is such a cool experience, hopefully it all goes well. 

Yesterday we had the baptism for Julian. This kid is a champ and his mom is super awesome. She is not a member because of some problems with her husband. But she is really great, she has so much faith. It was a really cool experience to have the baptism for Julian because she was so happy. 

I really love this gospel because it gives me so much joy! The life for the people here in Mexico is pretty rough. There is a lot of darkness in the lives of people here because they go through a lot. But the best part about the message of the Restoration is the once a gain we have the light of the gospel. It makes me so happy and i get so pumped teaching because i know with out a doubt this message blesses lives and brings light once again. I know what i am teaching is true and it is such a blessings for me to have the chance to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. 

I love you all so much and i hope you all have a great week!

Love, Elder Nobmann Riddle

Dia de los muertos

Hey, 

Wow the weeks are really flying by. In Saturday i will complete 10 months in the mish...how crazy is that. I love the mish so much, i am learning so many great things and i'm seeing so many blessings in my life and in the lives of the people we are teaching. 

This week has been pretty cool because right now here in Mexico they are celebrating Dia de Los Muertos. So its been pretty cool to see all the stuff they do here to celebrate this holiday. There are a lot of candy, skulls, shrines for the people who have died, and a lot of bread. Pretty fun to learn about other cultures. Oh other cool thing, the new James Bond movie was shot here in Mexico where my mission is at. Just another cool thing about my mish. 

Well we had the Baptism of Salvador yesterday and it went great. We were so pumped for him, he is the son of one of our recent converts so she was so happy. He is 12 years old which happens to be the same age that i had when i was baptized, so i was super excited for him. It is so great to see the families accept the Gospel because we know that one day they can enter the Temple and be sealed for the eternity. 

I am doing great here in Mexico, enjoying my last couple of months has AP. Its been such a great learning experience because it really tested me at first but now i can see all the blessings that came from the challenges. We are hoping to see a lot of blessings these next two months. They goal as a mission is that everyone can see three families accept the gospel en . So we are working hard for that. 

I love you all tons and i am so grateful for your support :) 

Love,
