Mom!!! remember when i would always sit on you and you would lose all
your breath and using the last bit of air you had left you would say,
get off! boy do i miss those moments and I'm pretty sure you do too!
obvi! keep working on those cookies mom, i will never forget the
cinnamon rolls you made us that one time, and nobody would eat them
because when you would drop them on the ground it sounds like a rock
hitting the pavement. that's how hard they were, jajajaja, so about my
new companion, his names elder rodgers, he has 19 years just like me, and
he is going home in 2 cambios or exchanges. el es un buen misionero!
and he is from Utah! shocker huh. jajaja. i feel like im starting to
become fluent en maya. because i talk to this person in xaya, using al
the maya i knew and we had a conversation for like a whole 2 minutes!
mother, in 19 months your going to have a kid who is black, white, Mexican, y mayan. thats is soo awesome, every one is going on missions
back at home! Melissa is leaving next week, and Cameron got his mission
call, every time i see the young men in our branch, i always try to talk
them in to serving a mission, and put one of those "future missionary"
tags for little kids on their shirts, and tell them they look handsome. a
lot of them, or all 3 of them want to serve a mission in Mexico or the
US. i was excited to hear that, but ill be humble and not take credit
for that :P jajaja jk. we are continuing to go to xaya every week, this
week, we kind of got stuck over there again, and that was my companions
first experience of xaya, i got a picture to capture the best part... of
us starting the walk back about 28km to tekax. luckily after a while a
car drove by and picked us up. we hitch hike a lot down here, because
everyone is pretty much family in the pueblos were in. today, one great
missionary that was in my district died this week, his name was elder
garcia, my repulica dominicana brother. we have been together in this
district since my day one, and he has been in tekax for like 10 months
he still owes me a bueno bar, jajaja oh yeah and when i say died, died
as in went home, his 2 years are done. a family in the ward made us
carnitas and it was delicious! we also ate at the presidents house, i
love his family soo much. as of now, i am now the missionary who has
been in Tekax the longest i feel like I'm past the one year mark! jaja.
this week our investigators maria y flor are progressing, during one
lesson, they bore their testimony of why they know this church is true,
and how it has strengthened their family so much. especially when 9 year
old flor started talking, it just broke my heart, they want to go
through with baptism. also we are reactivating this 16 year old member
named maritza and her 17 year olf brother too. their the only ones
baptized in the family, and we will see how it goes with them. well that
was pretty much this week, everyday i am learning something more about
the gospel. that's something amazing about it, you never stop learning!
just being a missionary is soo good!!!!!! I
love this gospel with all my heart. I know it is true. i know that the
Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and that Joseph
smith translated it, that he restored the Gospel. i know that Jesus
suffered pains and afflictions for us, that he died for us. I know that
he lives. and loves us all. les amo mucho!! in'yabilt'mex!
Mucho Amor
Elder Wasden
