Hey everybody. We had an absolutely fantastic week. As far as news
goes we got our transfer calls on Saturday and the verdict is...we are
both staying. Which was expected. Neu Brandenburg elders are both
leaving so that area is getting white washed. One of the griefswald
elders are leaving so we are going to have a very new district. New
changes, new goals, and we are very excited for them. Today for p day
we were going to the zoo but it's a little cold so right now I am
currently kicking elder Thomas's trash at ping pong.
On Tuesday we had exchanges with the zone leaders. They both came down
here so it was a very effective day in Eberswalde. Elder Gibbs and I
found an investigator and elder Thomas and Allen found one as well.
This week we have a pretty busy schedule.
As you already know I absolutely love the people here of Germany but
there's something that I want to develop that I haven't yet. It says
in Moroni 7:48. 48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the
Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this
love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his
Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he
shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that
we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure.
Amen.
Christlike love is something that takes a lot of time but there is
something that I haven't done yet that I am going to do. It says pray
unto the father with ALL the energy of heart. I want to develop
charity. This is the most important love I think we can have. I want
to truly love as Christ loves.
On Sunday one of the people from our English class decided to come to
church. His name is Michael. (Pronounced meesh I el) he came to
sacrament and we were having fast and testimony meeting. After
sacrament and Sunday school elder Thomas and a member talked to him
while I was practicing the organ for next Sunday. He told Elder Thomas
his story. He told him that he has a hole in his heart that needs to
be filled. He said he is very sad and he doesn't feel like his family
loves him. That's what the gospel is for my friends. It fills every
empty soul with the love of God and here is nothing more powerful than
that. I am so excited to be a tool in gods hands and help fix an empty
soul. There is no better job than that. I've felt happy and joy before
but never before have I felt pure joy. The joy I get when i, through
the spirit help people find their way in the path to the plan of
happiness.
God be with you till we meet again!
The lord is my shepherd!
Elder Riggs
