This is what happens when we ask him to send more photos.  :)
Cameron and KayDee sent this selfie to Elder Wasden.
Elder Wasden and Elder Ukena sent this one back.

 Dear Family,

This week I have found that a testimony is the most important thing we have and our greatest tool against the adversary, so I will be sharing mine.

My testimony has grown exceedingly and above all, it is mine. Before I came on my mission I had a testimony, but I now see that it wasn't were it could have been. "A day will come when you will have to stand with only your testimony and testify of what you believe in" - Jeffery R, Holland.

Look at your testimony now and ask is it what it could be. Don't put yourself down if it isn't, but rather take the time to figure out what you can do to strengthen it.

I love the fact that I am out here on a mission and I hope that I will continue to grow. I know a mission has blessed my life and I hope that it will bless you either by my service or by your choice to serve as well. If you look around you, you see a lot of wickedness and the effects of satan, and you can make a difference in that aspect. Even if it is only one person. I would like to send a few challenges your way, make a difference in a persons life everyday. I know that you can change a persons life by a simple hello. While out here on my mission, I have gained the habit of saying hello to everyone I pass and a lot of the people I talk to, I ask if they need any service from me and you would be surprised how much that surprises them.

I know that my Savior lives and I testify that the power of the Book of Mormon is real and I have seen what it can do.  I love each and everyone of you, and because of you I am the person I am now.

P.S.
Cam, you look good in those photos to homecoming and I hope you had fun let me know how you are doing. :)
Julia, in truth I always thought you might be a boxer when you grow up due to the bruises you gave me, :D  But I must say that you make an amazing cheerleader, Love you.
Alex, if there is one person to make me smile it is you and I know that that gift you have will work wonders and miracles in others lives.
Lily, I still miss you so much and I can't wait till I will see you again, love you!
Zoey, you are probably screaming right now, but I have come to even miss that, can't wait to see you again.

Hey everyone,  So sorry that I have not been able to send a group email for the past couple weeks. A lot has happened, health-wise and spiritually, and I wish I had more time to let you in on what's happening. So to summarize, we have two baptisms that are coming up in the next two weeks, and we are really looking forward to that.  Sadly as far as the past week there is not much to tell about due to the fact that Elder Purser and I have been sick for the past 3 weeks.  Sorry for the short update. Love you all.

Hey Everyone,   So today is transfers and because it is transfers it makes it all the harder to write emails, but since I have not written a group email in a while I decided I was going to at least do that.      To start I am moving from the Birch Hills Ward, which is one of the most northern parts of my mission, down to Tustin Meadows, which is the most southern part of my mission. Sounds like a long way doesn't it? Well, in truth it isn't that far at all, because my mission being pretty small.  In fact, it is the smallest proselyting mission in the world. Not quite sure how it will go, but I do have high hopes in everything.      This week, as well as every other week, has been an amazing experience. The biggest part of these last few weeks was having Elder Uchdorf come and speak to us in a mission conference, and also getting to shake his hand was pretty cool too.  It is difficult to describe the amazing feeling that filled my he...
