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 heart as I listened to him speak to us and I will never forget that I had a witness from the Holy Ghost, that Elder Uchdorf is an apostle of God!
      
The rest of the week was unpredictable and here is why:  
Monday: P-day we played soccer with high school kids....then it rained right after. 
Tuesday: exchanges with my district leader which came out of no where, and it also rained and I did not have a rain jacket with me (#tractingintherain). 
Wednesday: Average day of heat and tracting. 
Thursday: District meeting and.... that's about it for that day. 
Friday: Crazy rain storm came out of no where and we ended up tracting in it. I was feeling sick the whole day, but went through the day like usual. 
Saturday: Threw up in the morning and stayed in the rest of the day and slept and threw up some more. Super fun day. We also had another rain storm outside while I slept...which was kind of peaceful. 
Sunday I felt better at first and I went to church and bore my goodbye testimony to the ward. I then went out for a little bit and ended up returning to the apartment and throwing up again and that is pretty much my week. It never rains here and all of a sudden we get rain. Not a bad thing, just unexpected.

Thank you for all of your support and all of the great examples you have shown to me!

Love,
Elder Wasden

Hey Everyone, These last few weeks have been pretty crazy due to the holidays, and I have had a lot of surprises come this month. To start, we had a lot of people seemingly come out of nowhere and want to learn more about our faith, which is super awesome for us. A couple we are teaching is still going strong, and we are hoping that we will be able to help them grow closer to Jesus Christ in any way we can. We did have a pretty solid potential pop up, but sadly he has been avoiding us and there is not a whole lot we can do for him since we can't even meet with him.  Luckily we are still able to pray for him. We had an awesome encounter with the Persian Culture. We had set up a return appointment with a couple and they welcomed us back with open arms and when they invited us inside we instantly knew that we were in for an out-of-the-country experience. We gave them a Book of Mormon in Farsi, took off our shoes and tried to teach them (Notice the word tried). We had an awesome

MTC Highlights

July 22, 2017 Dear Mom, I'm pretty happy that I can finally email you. Not being able to for these first couple days kinda made it hard. The MTC is actually pretty cool and the food is not so bad either (your food is better mom), but I just want to get out into the field and start teaching out there. I've already seen a lot of people I know and a lot of people that look like someone I know, like my companion. July 22, 2017 Hey Everyone, I have missed you all and can't wait to hear from all of you. The MTC is actually pretty cool with its good food and the thousands of people you meet everyday. What really made my day was being able to play some sports for my exercise time which was one thing I was afraid I wast going to be able to do. In all honesty I did not realize how far out of my comfort zone I would be going when I came out on this mission. I love being out here, but part of me can't wait to see you all again in 726 days. If you get th
