'Persecution, Adversity, Trials, and still not giving in' - 2.15.2016

Liebe Freunde, Liebe Familie.

Hey everybody.

This week as you can tell through the topic was really crazy challenging and difficult. We met with a very interesting lady on the street who told us in broken english to kill ourselves. But we were laughing our heads off right after she left and will always remember this experience. (Ahhh the crazy life of a missionary) Nonetheless from the wise words of Walt Disney. Keep Moving forward.

Nothing is going to stop this work from progressing. The army of god will keep moving and keep geting up.

This week we also had the opportunity to meet with mario. He is a golden. We went over there and were going to teach him the Plan of Salvation but he read the whole pamphlet that we gave him and he absolutely loved it and understood everthing and had no questions at all. So we left with a spiritual thought about the plan of salvation and how we can get perfect bodies. Now Mario has parkinsons and so this was a very spiritual experience for all of us. That is such a hard trial that he has to go through and he has the knowledge that it will all be well in the end. Needless to say tears were shared the spirit was strongly felt and it gave Elder Thomas and I a huge boost to our day.

Well I deeply apologize this email is extremely short. Next week I will write a much grander one. But this is Elder Riggs Signing off.

The Lord is my Shepherd.
