"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 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...
