Hey everyone!
I decided to take more time to respond to individual letters and emails today so this'll be super short. Elder Wasden and I are doing well here in Fayetteville and the work's progressing slow and steady. Unfortunately, we found out our one friend with a solid date for his baptism had some legal troubles and won't be able to be baptized for another year :/ but our other friends have been doing great! We bring five loaves and three fishes, and He does the rest.
Song of the week: "Bryn" by Vampire Weekend
Cool BYU devotional: "The Atonement of Jesus Christ, Judgment Day, and You" by
Jörg Klebingat. Elder Klebingat doesn't preach fire and brimstone, but he does shoot real straight. Personally, I thought his candor was refreshing. To me, this speech is a powerful sermon on "costly grace."
A suggestion:
Think through God's plan for you, then try counting the number of gifts He gives to us in it. I'm sure there are way more, but here are some that I came up with in a minute or two:
- The gift of life
- The gift of a body
- The gift of a loving family
- The gift of a Savior
- The gift of repentance and forgiveness
- The gift of a body
- The gift of a loving family
- The gift of a Savior
- The gift of repentance and forgiveness
- The gift of freedom and agency
- The gift of the scriptures
- The gift of the Priesthood
- The gift of commandments
- The gift of a living prophet
- The gift of nature
- The gift of music
- The gift of friends
- The gift of prayer
- The gift of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
What gifts are you most grateful to God for? If you spend time to identify and write them down, your everyday life will become much, much more joyful.
Love,
Elder Rigby
Hardly took any pictures this week so this'll have to do
