Yoooo how's it going everyone? Hope yall are staying safe and doing well! These weeks haven't been too eventful but sadly we got some AWFUL, TERRIBLE news out here in the Hillsboro zone... Elder Riggs, my beloved companion, will be heading to Mexico on the 14th of September. But I am excited for him to finally get to his original mission. 


Tundi 
We have been playing a crazy game of hide and seek with Tundi because sometimes we find him and then sometimes we will go weeks without seeing him. However, on one specific occasion we were just about to leave his complex until then he drove up in his car. We approached him and he basically told us straight up like what do we want from him. We then proceeded to set up a return appointment where we would explain our purpose and why this message applies to him. We had a POWERFUL lesson on the restoration of the church and his whole attitude shifted and he promptly invited us back for another lesson! 

Silvia 
We had our first lesson with this woman named Silvia and she is so open and receptive. She has a very basic belief in a higher power and she was so intrigued to learn more about God and his nature and how this message is a sign of his love! She was determined to read the Book of Mormon to find out more truth for herself! 

English class adventures 
Tonight we had an english class and let's just say it was very, very, entertaining haha! We had four of our favorite amigos there and it was so fun teaching them english. We were dead laughing when all of them were trying to correctly pronounce the word "Beach" instead of making it sound like... well the other word that could be mistaken for that in a spanish accent... hahaa 

Christopherson 
THE Elder Christopherson will be personally addressing the whole Oregon Portland mission this Saturday and I COULD NOT be more excited! 

Temple
For the first time in about a year I got to go through the temple again! It was awesome having that experience again with other missionaries that I have grown so close with! 

Have a good week everyone! 

Adios Elder Riggs!

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while but things are better than ever. Recently as I have been serving here in the Oregon City stake we have been focusing a lot on the gathering of Israel. We even received a Gathering Israel Proclomation in the which we have all been commissioned to follow specific invitations to go and gather Israel! One of these invitations is to share our hope and faith filled experiences. In my efforts to be more dilligent in this effort I will be recounting every week one experience from the past little while where we saw the Lord using us as instruments. One experience we had deals with a woman named Nikki. About 3 months ago Nikki had a very vivid dream that told her she needed to return to the Church of Jesus Christ after about 50 years of inactivity. After having this dream she told her roommate Jana about the experience. Flash forward to about 2 weeks later when me and my companion are driving through the city of Canby. As we were driving I spotted a ma...

Yooooo what's up everybody!!! Alright so I apologize but I am realizing I will definitely not have the time to write nice big elaborate emails every week so we are gonna shoot for every 2 weeks haha!!! It seriously is just so crazy how busy we are out here in Molalla OR. We pack our schedules every day to the brim and are putting in the work so I'm loving it!! I feel like this week we have really started to see some awesome results from the work. So here's some highlights from the past couple weeks!!! • So we met with this guy named Jerry. Jerry is a super nice guy and we have been doing yardwork for him. So he left the church when he was 19 and has been inactive for about like 50 years. And he is a great guy but he has been doing a lot of soul searching and doesn't really feel ready to commit to read the BOM. But we had a really good chat with him about it so hopefully he starts opening up to us more! • So with the Spanish side of things it's been really pickin...
