"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, 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...

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...

Hey everyone, I am not sure where to begin, since so much has happened since my last email. I guess I'll start off with a day-to-day account of what I have done in the past few weeks.  Luckily I had written a lot of these drafts throughout the week. Tuesday 8/8/2017 To start off today, I had to wake up at 2:30 in the morning which wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Elder Phelps and I had packed the day before so all we had to do that morning was take our stuff to the travel office. Here we loaded up and went to the airport. We spent an hour waiting for our plane and while we waited I spent the whole time trying to contact my family before I left, but everything I was trying to do wasn't working! I tried the payphone three times and that didn't work. Then I tried a few Skype calls, but the wi-fi was terrible at the airport and so that didn't work. I finally was able to talk for a few minutes when my companion allowed me to ...
