Elder Wasden: Holy Cow

HOLY COW! That is so crazy everyone is leaving on missions! but thats soo awesome at the same time! wow, has this week been full of a ton of excitement!! i want to start off by saying this week we had the opportunity to see 17 mirachles, i forgot how to spell that in english, but wow was it soo amazing and it is always soo strong spiritually to watch it! all of us 4 elders are still living together until their house is fixed, but this week, elder riveras from the other companionship found a cd with songs from the church website, and he found a new song that he loves and it is the only song he plays, it use to be our favorite song but now that changed. his companion ended up hiding the cd! boy do i love elder riveras, we are like the same kind of person! here in campeche, we take a lot of public buses called camiones and the are soo sketchy, but this week, we hopped on this bus and like sometimes they can be really full piled with poeple, so i got on and i was pretty much out the door hanging on for my life it felt like. that was the 3rd time in my mission that has happened to me! this week we also ate with a sister and her daughter from the church and we ate outside because we couldnt be inside because there wasnt another guy, but as we were eating outside, it just started down pouring, and as we were all eating we all looked up at each other and smiled like okay what should we do, because at this point we were half way soaked, they didnt care and we started eating again in the pouring rain like nothing was happening, it was pretty cool. but then it started pouring harder, so i told them ´´i dont know about you guys but im chilling in the dog house´´ so i walked over with my food and chilled with their dog in the dog house, they eventually made fun of me, but i made a new friend with the dog, but then we werent because he ate my food. later that day we had a mission activity in the church and we watched meet the mormons with all the members and the investigators we brought! it was soo awesome! and everyone loved it! it really helped our investigators open up and realize who we really are and that we are normal people just like them. well maybe not me, but the other members! :P this sunday, we taught the youth again, ages 12 and 13 and i love having the opportunity to teach them, because if feels like just 6 years ago i was them. we pretty much teach them every week. during priesthood we got asked to go to the primary room and tell this primary class of ages 4 and 5 what we do as missionaries and how the lord has blessed us. and i never realized how easy it sounded but actually how hard it was, because 5 year olds like to shout and talk about random things that made me laugh. the teacher did a review of what we said and asked them how does heavenly father communicate to us, looking for the answer holy ghost, one said respect, and another said blessings which are words we said earlier! it was really funny but i do thank all my primary teachers in the past that had a lot of patience with me! thank you! haha. but now is the time in which i need to close. but i love you all and cuidense!
