Hello everybody!

This week has been really chilly! I've had to bundle up and even break out a thermals for some days. I am not excited for another winter out here, but I know the Lord's strength and the fire of the Spirit, I will survive! Daylight savings has really messed with our proselyting, because it now gets dark at about 4:45! It's kind of ridiculous, but we'll deal with whatever comes.

Lynn and Todd came to church and actually stayed for Gospel Principles! They are doing so well, and Elder Larsen and I think that if they continue to come to church and meet with us, we will be able to set a baptisimal date with them! :)

Other than that, we're still out trying to find those that are prepared to hear about he gospel! It's difficult with a hole in your shoe to be walking around a lot, but that's okay. It just means the hole will get bigger! :D

The Atonement is real. I've been thinking about a lot of the messages that the world gives us and how different they are from God's messages. One of the biggest things that frustrates me is when the world says that people don't really change, or that someone is "set in their ways." The Atonement says otherwise People do change. Every day. Whether they recognize it or not. The key is, do you want to chance, and are you willing to do what it takes? By applying Christ's Atonement into our lives, He can change us into the person that He knows we can become. We can change, but we have to let Him do the changing, because He knows best.

I Love you all!

--Elder T. Riggs
