I feel old

Dear Family,

I feel old. I cant believe Im 21. Im already getting back pains and losing my memory and times.... ajaja Naw, I feel great! Im just a little shocked to see how time passes really fast in life. 

This week was a great one. We got to see a lot of miracles. The other day we talked to a man who is a member of the church but hasnt come to church in about 10 years. We started to talk with him and it started off great but then he started to attack us a little. It didnt help that he was a little drunk. He wasnt listening to our explainations as we talked and at time didnt give us a chance to talk. It was rough. At one point he asked a question and I had no idea what to say. I started to respond but I fumbled with my words because i didnt know what to say. Then, out of know where, something came to my mine. It was nothing more than about 5 words but it was clear...so i said it. As i said those words in response to his question I could feel the spirit and I know he could too. he changed. He said that we could come back another day. 

The spirit is the key to all things in the mission, as well as in life. Sometimes when challenges come in life we dont know how to respond or when we respond it just doesnt come out right. The promise of our Heavenly Father is that if we look toward Him and act, He will guide us in our lives. I know that faith is more than a word, it is power. We can do all things in Christ that strengthes us. 

I love you all so much and wich you a great week.

Love Elder Nobmann Riddle#22
