Just another week serving the Lord and trying not to spend all my money on mexican candy and doughnuts. We are starting to accumulate more and more progressing investigators so hopefully ill have a good amount of pictures of baptisms in the next month and a half-ish. I dont really know what to say other than that haha. Mexico is starting to become more and more normal to me and im starting to get the hang of it more and more. today while getting my hair cut the lady asked me if i was from Guadalajara, so im just going to assume that from the 10 or less words i said she thoght i was mexican. think positively right? Also, we ate with a family the other day that we hadnt eaten with since my 3 week or so and one of the daughters asked me something and after i responded she said "he understood me! and said something! quick, record him! record him!" haha so yeah i guess im improving!
During our zone meeting this week our zone leader shared two things that i loved. first he told a story from Elder Packer i think. It talks about when we all come before God after we die and God is calling out the names of groups of people. he calls the 2000 striping warriors and we all think thats really cool, then he calls out other groups from the times of the scriptures and we think its incredible to be with them. then he gets to us and calls out the armies of the Prophet Thomas S. Monson. the Missionaries of the latter days and everyone from the scripture times thinks we are incredible. We may not realize it, but we are living in the times that prophets have been testifying about for thousands of years. we live in the latter days, the time of the gathering of all the Lords sheep. how blessed are we! Also, he shared a quote from or mission president, "Where is your vision?". think about that. is your vision in the eternal perspective, or do you find yourself stuck in the world at times? i encourage everyone to try to figure out where their sight is and always be trying to improve yourselves!
Con amor, Elder Wagner
