This week was AWESOME! The day after transfers President Wahlen called and gave me the best news I've ever heard.... Hossein and Leila have been approved for baptism!! I am so excited! Plus, he said he would let me ride with him and Sister Wahlen back up to North Shore for the baptism when it happens. I love them so much and I am so excited to be able to see them take this huge step in following Jesus Christ. I'm even more excited because I know that in one year they will be able to be sealed to their two kids forever! The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best thing in the entire world. It just makes me so happy and I'm so happy to be able to see other people find the joy that comes from it as well. We also have a baptism with our new friend Elena that we just met yesterday! She's so awesome and is so excited to be baptized
We had the nicest rejection of all time this week. We knocked on the door and this man answers and you can tell he's baking something because the house smells soooo good. We introduce ourselves as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he just tells us to wait a sec and then walks away. He comes back with two pastries on a plate, tells us to take them and that they are homemade and says "I am not Christian, I am happy with my faith, have a good night, goodbye." And closes the door. We didn't know how to feel hahah. The pastries were really good though!
Other than that this week was crazy haha. Surrey is a pretty fun area. We are still trying to get to know all the people we are teaching. A few of them won't talk to us because they're sad the last sisters left but we are working through the members that they are friends with. They just need some time, but I am excited to meet them.
I love you all!
Love, Sister Rigby
For all the Psych fans: we went to where Psych is filmed! We saw the Psych office and the pier! It's in a little town called White Rock (hence the white rock) near Surrey.
The pastries the man gave us...
