"What Jesus Did for Me" by Yongsung Kim
Hello everybody,

This week has been pretty crazy as far as experiences go. However, I have to say that I have loved all the emails you have sent! It has helped me through my hardest times and I am super happy to know that I have such great examples inspiring me.

So my experience takes place on Thursday night. We were about to head in for the night when I thought to go see if a potential investigator was home.  We walked up to his house, but decided not to knock because of how late it was. We went next door and talked to a man standing outside and he was not interested, but still super nice. So as we were walking back to our bikes and stopped in front of his house and decided to give it a knock... the potential opened the door and he stood there looking at us as though he had seen an angel. He invited us in before we could get a word out and as we sat down he told us why he was so excited to see us. Literally, right before we knocked on the door, he was sitting on his couch asking God, "what can I do to serve and come closer to you?"

I know for a fact that the prompting to go knock was the Holy Ghost, and I am so happy to be able to recognize it. It turned out that the potential investigator was actually an inactive member and our being there inspired him to come back to church.

I know God lives and I know He loves me and will use me to reach out to those around me. 

Love you all,
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...
