Hey Everyone,
 
So today is transfers and because it is transfers it makes it all the harder to write emails, but since I have not written a group email in a while I decided I was going to at least do that.
    
To start I am moving from the Birch Hills Ward, which is one of the most northern parts of my mission, down to Tustin Meadows, which is the most southern part of my mission. Sounds like a long way doesn't it? Well, in truth it isn't that far at all, because my mission being pretty small.  In fact, it is the smallest proselyting mission in the world. Not quite sure how it will go, but I do have high hopes in everything.
    
This week, as well as every other week, has been an amazing experience. The biggest part of these last few weeks was having Elder Uchdorf come and speak to us in a mission conference, and also getting to shake his hand was pretty cool too.  It is difficult to describe the amazing feeling that filled my heart as I listened to him speak to us and I will never forget that I had a witness from the Holy Ghost, that Elder Uchdorf is an apostle of God!
      
The rest of the week was unpredictable and here is why:  
Monday: P-day we played soccer with high school kids....then it rained right after. 
Tuesday: exchanges with my district leader which came out of no where, and it also rained and I did not have a rain jacket with me (#tractingintherain). 
Wednesday: Average day of heat and tracting. 
Thursday: District meeting and.... that's about it for that day. 
Friday: Crazy rain storm came out of no where and we ended up tracting in it. I was feeling sick the whole day, but went through the day like usual. 
Saturday: Threw up in the morning and stayed in the rest of the day and slept and threw up some more. Super fun day. We also had another rain storm outside while I slept...which was kind of peaceful. 
Sunday I felt better at first and I went to church and bore my goodbye testimony to the ward. I then went out for a little bit and ended up returning to the apartment and throwing up again and that is pretty much my week. It never rains here and all of a sudden we get rain. Not a bad thing, just unexpected.

Thank you for all of your support and all of the great examples you have shown to me!

Love,
Elder Wasden

This is what happens when we ask him to send more photos.  :) Cameron and KayDee sent this selfie to Elder Wasden. Elder Wasden and Elder Ukena sent this one back.  Dear Family, This week I have found that a testimony is the most important thing we have and our greatest tool against the adversary, so I will be sharing mine. My testimony has grown exceedingly and above all, it is mine. Before I came on my mission I had a testimony, but I now see that it wasn't were it could have been. "A day will come when you will have to stand with only your testimony and testify of what you believe in" - Jeffery R, Holland. Look at your testimony now and ask is it what it could be. Don't put yourself down if it isn't, but rather take the time to figure out what you can do to strengthen it. I love the fact that I am out here on a mission and I hope that I will continue to grow. I know a mission has blessed my life and I hope that it will bless you either b...

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 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.
