People of Amedica, I present to you! THUG LIFE - By Elder Rikarika Rodeback!
Ahhhahaha! What's up people? Another week and another update! Sorry I didn't get one out last week. Sadly, the library internet was down all day last week so I had to go up north to Maple Wood and had just enough time to write my momma. Just for an update I hadn't been sleeping at all for a week so I went to the doctor and he said that it was most likely caused from racing thoughts caused by ADD (I told you mom). So he prescribed Aderral form me and I got home and decided I would leave it in the Lords hands. No medication or nothing. That stuff is way too scary for me. Welllp let's get to the week shall we? Oh yeah let's do this thang!!
Monday 8/20/12
Today we did the usual "P" day stuff. We got up at six did laundry, studies at seven but at eight we did a switch-up. We went Transformer hunting FIRST! We went to Toys R Us and it was a joke so we went to WalMart and, OH YEAH I bought an Iron Hide! Then we went to the library and then did a Zone volleyball tourney. We had a BLAST! The only part that was the pits was, I hadn't slept since Thursday and I was nasty sick ALL DAY!
Tuesday 8/21/12
We had a lesson with Alex who is a killar investigator! He is sixteen and guess what we have in common….We both Adore MMA! We had a super solid lesson with him though and I am absolutely positive that he will be baptized this next transfer! (thats all I can write because I ran out of time to write in my journal on Tuesday)
Wednesday 8/22/12
Today was sweet. I went on exchanges with Elder Montes. He and I get along so well. He is my District Leader and he lives in the same apt. as me. We taught Teresita who was baptized the Sunday before and she is the sweetest lady. The funny thing though is for some reason Elder Montes only baptizes old people haha. Then we taught John who has been investigating the church for a while and it was a good lesson. Luckily all the people we taught today spoke English so I was able to participate. After John we got juked on an appointment with Carlitos so we went and saw Cesar who is bi polar and special in other ways he was cool.
Thursday 8/23/12
Today, was kind of a joke. Super irritating! We had TAC (Transfer Apartment Cleaning) then we had weekly planning. After that we did service so we didn't do any proselytizing til 7:15 :( super stunk but I felt good for helping Sister Alvarez. I knew that we had helped someone feel Christ's love.
Friday 8/24/12
Today we taught Alex again. He is such a stellar kid! He understands everything but he just isn't sure if this is the right path for him. I am pretty sure if we work really hard, we can help him to see that to be able to return to Heavenly Father someday and truly come unto Christ, he needs to step through the gate of baptism. Baptism is not the end it is merely the beginning of the long trek back.

Yeah I totally spaced writing in my journal today! Whoops! L
Sunday 8/26/12
Today, was the end of the first transfer...wait what? Where in the world has the time gone??? I can't believe that I have already been in Jersey for six weeks, that blows my mind! Elder Heward has been called to be District Leader today. I'm pumped for him! He is gonna be a killa district leader! We taught Doris today who we met on saturday and she commited to prepare to be baptized on the 30th of September!
Wellp my peeps, that's some of the high lights of my week :) I know that this gospel changes lives and that people truly come to Christ through repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. I know that miracles come from having undying faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. I love this gospel more than I love anything in the world and I know that people are prepared to hear the gospel from me. Heavenly Father needs me here and there is not one other place I would rather be. I love you all! Until next week, remember "Called to Serve. Here to love!"
