Elder Wasden and Elder Ukena helping with the ward Halloween party.

Hey everyone,
I am sorry that there hasn't been much activity on the blog.  I have been sending audio recordings due to time, and I was hoping that those would be able to be posted, but sadly not. Anyway this week has been pretty hectic and also pretty cool, and I will try to get in as many details as I can remember. 
This week transfers happened and I am now with Elder Trujillo and even though his name may sound Spanish, he isn't. We actually were in the MTC at the same time and came out to the field at the same time, but we did not see each other until we got out to the field though...not sure why. We had been in the same zone for our first two transfers and we had made the comment that we would be  companions at some point...who knew it would be so sudden? We are now in an area called Birch Hills and it is an amazing place and the part I love most is that the members are very involved in missionary work. We are on bike too and that does help with losing a little weight since I have already gained 15 pounds!!! 

So, this week has been mostly clean up and organize... the last elders who were here before us went home last transfer and they had a heyday in the apt. They had left two holes in the wall the size of a fist and a shattered window.... they also shot BB's into the wall.
As far as clean up has gone we have mainly focused on visiting as many as possible, and we have and I have noticed one big difference between investigators and members....members open the door!! :D It is defiantly a big difference.

That is pretty much all of my week.  This week in retrospect was not that exciting, but no one ever said that a mission would be. As long as you do what the Lord asks you can never go wrong.

I wish the best to all of you,
Elder Wasden

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...
