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 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...
