Hey Fam,
Wow the weeks are just flying by but everyday I learn so much. This week i'm going to complete 13 months...man it makes me feel so weird to know that i am half way done.
This week we had a meeting with president and all the zone leaders. It was actually a really great experience, I really learned a lot. The next day we had our zone class. Our zone is actually pretty small but the missionaries are super great. The time went by super fast, honestly teaching the zone class was a lot easier than having to teach a leadership meeting with all the zone leaders. During the week my comp and I were working really hard. We put a goal to a least try to put a baptismal date every single day. It was a really awesome experience because we started to find a lot of people and we were able to but a couple. Its been tough because we are opening the area but we are starting to see a lot of blessings from our work.
Last week I was fasting for help for some people we are teaching and for new people that we can teach. We went to church in the morning and no one went which was a pretty big bummer. After I felt so tired and i was in those last minutes of my fast and honestly I didn't really want to talk to anyone. But I know that wasn't right so I started to contact, I contacted three people and they all said no. So that kind of sucked but as we were walking I decided to contact one more and she ended up saying yes. We visited her on Saturday and turns the gospel is exactly what she needs. We started to explain about Gods plan for us and the influence of the Savior in our lives. She is 17 but she understood so well the plan and she told us this is exactly what she needs in her life.
It was a really awesome experience for me, it helped give me more strength to keep working hard. When we explained the atonement to her the spirit was so strong and it just filled me with joy. Honestly my time as AP really made me age fast in the mission physically. So I have really learned just how to work more efficiently and by the spirit. I study hard in the morning and plan well at night. So during the day and for every lesson I just say lots of little prayers to receive guidance and I can literally feel and see the spirit doing his part in the work.
I know this church is true and I know that God is our loving Heavenly Father. That His son Jesus Christ came here to save us and that through Him we can receive
strength in whatever situation. Also through the Holy Spirit we can feel peace in this life and we can be guided by our Heavenly Father in every step we take.
Love,
Elder Nobmann Riddle
