Week Eighteen and a half: Changes (and camera lost)

In case you didnt already notice, im writing on a friday and i usually write on mondays. thats because i was transferred! i am now being trained to be the financial secretary for the whole mission! i always thought that office missionaries were lazy and never really did much, but holy cow they do a ton and have a ton of responsibility. so yeah that happened, and also i turned 20 years old so im no longer a teenager and thats really weird. I lost my camera this week in a taxi so thats pretty great. i guess its just another trial that i have to endure and let it make me stronger. one of the other office elders told me this: you may have lost your pictures from these last 4 months, but it doesnt matter because in heaven we will be able to remember everything perfectly and see all of our friends whenever we want! haha so yeah i think im going to look at it like that and think positively. so my new pday will be saturday, but this week i have it on friday because tomorrow we have a meeting with an apostle! Elder Russel M. Nelson is coming to talk to all the missionaries tomorrow and then on sunday i get to hear from him again because he is speaking to the members of the stake in which i am serving so i get to hear from him to times!!! im kind of excited haha. so much happened these last two weeks, i dont even remember all of the craziness, but i hope you get a small glimpse into the crazy life of Elder Wagner from this email. i dont think my emails will be as interesting from here on out because i will be in the offices for the majority of the day and the most interesting thing that i will have to share will be about how i fixed a problem with someones credit card, or how i allocated a bunch of transactions with cat like reflexes or something like that haha.

We only have a few more weeks until christmas! and christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the savior of the world! Im not sure if you have already done this or not, but im going to invite you all again to watch the video "He is the Gift" on www.christmas.mormon.org and think about how incredible it is that God send His son to us to save us and think about what christmas means. Think about the significance of gift giving at christmas. this last week i had a realization that it is a symbolism of when our Heavenly Father gave us the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. #sharethegift 

I love you all!!!!! ¡Les amo mucho! ¡CuĂ­dense mucho! con amor, Elder Wagner
