things are going good here in argentina. i literally love every second of being a missionary. Sometimes it comes to my mind that one day i wont be able to do all these things anymore and i get a little sad but it also helps me get focused up and get to work. there is no time to waste!
So for starters, this last general conference was great! every talk was great! Those men and women spoke with the spirit and what they said is true. Every little detail is true.
Elder Merrell and I had a good lesson with a part member family this last week. The wife is a member but the husband is not. The wife has been less active for awhile but has started to come back to church. We have talked many times with the husband and he is reading the book of mormon and asking good questions. But this last week we had the chance to talk with him about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon even more. We got down to the point where he believes that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. At the end of this lesson i looked over and saw his wife and she was in tears because moments before, she had just heard her husband accept the invitation to be baptized. As we left her house she shook our hands and with tears still in her eyes, just said ¨Thank you¨.
I know this is the church of Jesus Christ here on the earth. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ. I am thankful for the happiness that this gospel brings to my own life and the impact in can have on others. I may not know everything there is to be known on this earth but of these things I am certain.
I am a representative of Jesus Christ and I know that He lives. I have never seen Him but I do not need to.
Have a great week.
Love
Elder Nobmann Riddle
