Elder Wasden and Elder Ukena helping with the ward Halloween party.

Hey everyone,
I am sorry that there hasn't been much activity on the blog.  I have been sending audio recordings due to time, and I was hoping that those would be able to be posted, but sadly not. Anyway this week has been pretty hectic and also pretty cool, and I will try to get in as many details as I can remember. 
This week transfers happened and I am now with Elder Trujillo and even though his name may sound Spanish, he isn't. We actually were in the MTC at the same time and came out to the field at the same time, but we did not see each other until we got out to the field though...not sure why. We had been in the same zone for our first two transfers and we had made the comment that we would be  companions at some point...who knew it would be so sudden? We are now in an area called Birch Hills and it is an amazing place and the part I love most is that the members are very involved in missionary work. We are on bike too and that does help with losing a little weight since I have already gained 15 pounds!!! 

So, this week has been mostly clean up and organize... the last elders who were here before us went home last transfer and they had a heyday in the apt. They had left two holes in the wall the size of a fist and a shattered window.... they also shot BB's into the wall.
As far as clean up has gone we have mainly focused on visiting as many as possible, and we have and I have noticed one big difference between investigators and members....members open the door!! :D It is defiantly a big difference.

That is pretty much all of my week.  This week in retrospect was not that exciting, but no one ever said that a mission would be. As long as you do what the Lord asks you can never go wrong.

I wish the best to all of you,
Elder Wasden

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...

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 Chri...
