The second week in the offices as financial secretary (or "king of the money" as one of the office workers likes to call me) was pretty darn good! i got to hear from Russel M. Nelson in two different meetings! First he talked to all the missionaries and its was absolutely incredible! also, he had 2 other people who spoke and i think they were 70s or something like that, but they were just as good as elder nelson. The next day, elder nelson spoke to my stake and he was using a translator at first, then he said he learned a song in spanish while he had been here, sang the song (a really funny song about Jalisco and Guadalajara), then said "if i can sing in spansih, i think i can speak in spanish" and then he dismissed his translator and gave the rest of his talk in spanish! it was crazy! i had no idea he speaks english! Also, we had another area 70 or something like that named elder peiper come a few days ago and give training to us and it was super good as well! Its been a crazy week with all the meetings and everything because we have to buy all the bus tickets and everything for all the elders who are in areas far away and all that stuff, but its been a very good week for me to learn quickly!
Challenge: Elder Nelson talked a lot about the importance of the temple and how many blessings we receive from going. He has a talk named "begin with the end in mind" it was given to mission presidents and their wives, but i think you can apply it to your lives because everyone can be a missionary! so the challenge this week is to read this talk and to go to the temple this week!
Love you all! - Elder Wagner
