Hola Amigos,
So this week has been a little easier in comfort as well as actually knowing who wants the missionaries over or not. So, one major change that my companion and I are currently trying to do is learn Spanish. I have run into a lot of Spanish speakers and I have picked a few things up, but I really want to be able to talk to them and have a decent conversation.  High school Spanish is definitely haunting me this week.

We were able to visit a lot of people, but one difference that I have noticed between Birch Hills and North Hills is that North Hills had a few more youth and while being out here I have found that I really like being able to talk and connect with them.

It has been a slow week and I honestly had a lot of study time and I can't believe how my testimony has grown from my studies.  All I need now is to be able to share my testimony with people, because what invites the spirit more to a conversation than a testimony of how the gospel of Jesus Christ is true.

Ok, California really, really, really likes greasy food, and I honestly feel like every hamburger I have picked up is just dripping with grease! This would not be bad if it didn't destroy my stomach so badly...my companion is definitely agreeing with me on this. I miss your cooking Mom! 

So this has literally been my week and it has been pretty slow, but such is life on the mission. I hope for God's guidance and love every moment of my mission. I love all of you and wish the best to all of you, may you always look for God's hand in your lives.

Love,
Elder Wasden

(P.S. I am pretty sure that after my mission I am not going to be able to respond to Ethan since I probably wont recognize it.)

Hey everyone,       So, like last time I will put together a day-to-day email, and trust me these last few days have been pretty eventful. Monday, 8/14/2017      Today was pretty eventful. It was my first P-day today and let's just say that laundry is now my least favorite activity ever. The story goes like this....We were going to do laundry, so we gather the cloths and head down to the washer and dryer which is in a separate building, and we realize that we need a special card to use the washers, so we call the other elders who had the apartment before us and they tell us where the special card is. We head back to the house get the card and head back to the washers and then we come to find out there is not enough money on it so we call another elder and ask to use their card. They are in another complex across the street so we walk over and get the card and then we come back and grab our clothes from our house and head to the washer only to find...
