Ritchie, Max

Oh my wow this week was literally one of the Best weeks in my entire mission I loved every second of it. We just saw miracle after miracle and we both just felt the spirit so strongly. Real quick I just want to start with a scripture in Jacob 1:6, "And we also had many revelations, and the spirit of much prophecy; wherefore, we knew of Christ and his kingdom, which should come." I have just been so grateful lately for modern day revelations. These revelations from God in these last days for us have brought me so much Joy and happiness. But, more importantly they have taught me about Christ, and how his kingdom works. I have also seen how these revelations about Jesus Christ teach and bless  others.  And that's what I want to share with you all today. So we have a couple names Melquiades and Rosaura that live in a tiny town in our area away from Nealtican. This town called Tecaunipan has so much opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it is so hard to find people will...

Hey everyone!! What's going on I hope you all an amazing week on Valentines day and the long weekend on Presidents Day. Literally the mission is flying by wayyyy to fast to keep track of the days, but it was a really cool week so we'll get into it: So this past Tuesday we had interviews with President which are always awesome because he is literally so much wisdom and power that he can answer pretty much any question or doubt with an awesome answer. ¡BUT!

So it was missionaries vs stake Presidents and w...

Hey everyone!! How's it going??? Sorry it's been a little bit since my last email, but that's ok were still alive and well!! The crazy thing is that I hit 16 months in the mission so I'm now getting into my last third of it. It has been a few awesome weeks so lets get into it! So last week we had the P-Day of my dreams. Basically we got the whole zone together, President Oyarzabal and his wife, the APs together and the whole zone and we had a zone activity! We played basketball, volleyball, spikeball, and everything in between. Let me be the first to tell you that President call Ball!! Then he put on an apron and started grilling up some Carne Asada. And of course everyone begged me to make some funeral potatoes and it was so awesome!! In the stake I serve in we've really been gearing up for the Puebla Temple open house that starts in about a month. We've had 2 "stake attacks" where we take our whole stake and go to a small town outside of Nealtican an...
