Week Thirty and a half: The calm after the storm

So it wasnt really that calm, but it was the week after the storm haha. we were still really busy, but we got out of the offices more than the week before and got some lessons in! we also had a family home evening with the ward which went pretty well! every companionship in our ward (2 sets of elders and 1 set of sisters) brought someone and it went really well! we brought a man named Juan Antonio who we met about a week ago. he showed up to the chapel right before sacrament meeting ended and we have taught him 2 lessons this week and he is great! he is a little odd, and we dont really know where he lives, but we are really excited for him. he has a strong desire to learn and wants to keep learning. We are pretty sure that he lives in the area of the other elders, so its going to be tough to hand him over, but well still get to see him on sundays! We got a new elder last week, im not sure if i told you, but yeah his name is Elder Denton and he is from southern Idaho. He seriously looks really really young haha the people here in mexico are really blunt and kind of just say what is on their mind, so his first week here we were eating with a sister and she just flat out said that he had a small face and looks like hes 14 hahaha. and then at the FHE a member said something like he couldnt believe his eyes and then asked if they changed the rule again and 16 year olds could serve missions now haha. hes a really good elder and im glad to have him here. Also, it distracts everyone from the fact that i look like im 17, so thats a plus haha oh and im the tallest missionary in our district! i think im going to enjoy this while i can haha.

sorry i didnt send any pictures this week, my companion needed to borrow my memory card for some stuff in the offices and forgot to give it back to me, so when i went to take pictures the camera said their wasnt any memory and i just thought it was full, but there wasnt a memory card in it! ill get the pictures from my companion and the other elders and send them next week!

Challenge: We had a special training a few weeks ago with our president where we learned about inviting members to share the gospel and how angels are preparing people right now to hear the gospel. talk with a neighbor or a friend about the gospel this week!

les amo mucho! con amor, Elder Wagner
