Hey everybody,
     This week has been pretty crazy, and I will definitely try to cover all of the exciting parts. This week started with me going on exchange with Elder Feldman and he is barely out on his mission, like only one transfer out, but hey... I am only three transfers out. We talked to a lot of people and were able to meet with some people at a park who turned out to be less-actives. We showed them the Light the World video and they absolutely loved it and they wanted to do everything they can to make life better for others.  We also got to feed the ducks and a one-eyed goose, and those people gave us two full bags of food. #blessingsoffood
     There are two big highlights this week.  First, I have a new companion named Elder Clark.  Elder Clark is pretty cool and a very spiritual guy. He definitely wants to do what is right.  It's kind of a hard transfer for me since I am finishing Elder Clark's training and he has been trained by Zone Leaders for his whole mission until now. I definitely feel awkward about the whole situation.
     The second thing is the ward Christmas party which was really fun and way over-decorated.  I was not able to get pictures due to all the lights they had, but I do have a picture of Elder Clark and me in Lamanite clothes, I look so Lamanitish.. 
     Love all of you and can't wait to hear from all of you.
Love,
Elder Wasden

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,       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...

Hello Everyone, I actually managed to get all of the days typed and my email sent rather than delete it.  As usual I will have a big email full of my days and moments, and what I have found is that there are a lot of opportunities and moments when on your mission. A mission is never about the person serving, it is about the people you serve. You don't improve your testimony with the intention of using it for yourself, but you use your testimony to help others realize what God and the gospel can do for them. Sept 5, 2017 When I came out here on my mission I was pretty excited, but I soon found that missionary work was not what I expected. The world is a different place and people may not always take kindly to missionaries. It has come to me that when you teach and the person doesn't accept what you have taught, it doesn't mean the lesson was a waste of time or effort. It means that you and God now know that no matter the circumstance, you are wi...
