navidad...una semana mas!

hola familia!
Right now im in the computer place to right and there is some funny latin music playing. just thought id let yall know whats going on here argentina:) just wanted remind yall that it is hotter than an oven here....not the christmas im used to but its all good. this time of year everyone is using fireworks and the other day a car drove by and threw a firework at my comp and i. it was pretty funny. this week was really good. i love this time of year because it is a good time to remember all of our blessing and family. right now we are teaching a bunch of part member families that are less active. one of the families the mom told us that she feels that now is the time to return back to the church. which is crazy because 6 months ago she didnt want anything to do with the missionaries. Heavenly Father is helping us big time right now. In church i had the chance to give a talk about the sacerdocio, sorry i cant remember what its called in english. nope its priesthood...i got it:) It was good. I talked about the 3 things that we need to have to use the priesthood more affectively in our lives. Those three things are 1. Rectitude (like do good things. sorry the words arent coming to my head inenglish. like be worthy) 2. Love and 3. Patience. With those three things we can utilize the priesthood more affectivley in our lives and members of the church. with those three things we can see more miracles in our lives. the other day my comp asked me a question. he asked me if we can change in the mission, like change our lives. he told me that a missionary in his home ward told him that the mission is to learn not to change. i told him that is a bunch of bull-o-nee! the purpose of the mission is to change our lives. Its the same and our life in the world. Our purpose in this life is to come here and learn but to also change our lives to become more like Christ. I am so thankful that we have received the opportunity to always progress and change our lives. Im learning a lot of things right now especially as a trainor. I wish i could share every little detail with yall but i cant. I know the  church is true and that revelation exsists. I have a testimony of the gift of tongues and i have a testimony of the Holy Spirit. Have a great week. I love yall! I hope you enjoy the pics. one is of my zone in the church, the second is my zone at subway (that right....there is subway!!!!) and me and an elder from arizona. i think a member put a video of my zone singing inthe city on my facebook. i dont know but it was on the news or something. Love you all.
Love Elder Nobmann Riddle#22
