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 this week has been another slow week. We did pretty close to 20 hours of finding this week, and I must say that when it comes to the major differences between California and Utah, there is no bigger difference then the fact that Californians don't talk to each other at all.  While Utah people seem to be more open and tend to communicate with each other more. We asked a lot of people this week if we could help them and do any kind of service for them, and they all seemed shocked to hear someone offer such a thing. They all told us they were good, and we ended up with pretty much no discussions this week and no service.  I was feeling pretty down on myself. Then I remembered something that my dad and I had gone through before my mission. We were in Salt Lake and we were driving down a road and I was pretty much passed out in the passenger seat. All of sudden my dad pulled over and got out of the car. I was not sure what was going on, but I got out...
