Week Forty-one and a half: Transfers

Elder Denton's last day helping us out in the offices before he gets changed

Transfers are already upon us! it all starts in about 2 hours when all the elders and sisters come to the offices to start the weekend process which is always exciting and suuuper stressful. YAY!

This sunday we got a new bishop called! we had some issues with the old bishop because he always had work out of town and he had actually been gone for about 3 months until a few weeks ago. but the stake presidency and the high council decided we needed a new bishop and the new bishop was a big surprise for everyone! we all thought they could call one of his counselors, but they ended up calling the secretary to the bishopric! he is about 30 years old and 5 feet tall so everyone felt like they had to comment on his size haha. "he may not look like a bishop, but i know hell be a good bishop!" yeah in mexico they just kind of call it as they see it.

At the beginning of the week President had interviews with one of the zones here in Guadalajara in the offices so all day there were elders and sisters in the offices distracting us and all that good stuff. about halfway through the interviews, president came out and asked the assistants if they were good at ping pong and they said they they weren't, but that i was (we have a ping pong table in the offices and the elders were playing outside). President then told me to that we were going to play and that after his next interview we were going to play. we played and i beat him! he was actually really good. he told me i am one of just 3 people to beat him so i guess that pretty good haha. 

We had a family home evening with the ward yesterday and it went really well! we actually had a decent number of members come and a couple investigators!

Family home evening with the ward! it went really well and we had an investagor there named Feliza. she is in the back left corner and you can only see her head.

This week we will be getting a new secretary! we dont know who it is, but im pretty sure itll be a mexican because we already have 2 americans here, but well see!

Challenge: share your testimony with someone! you dont have to tell them your whole testimony, just share a small simple truth that you know from being a member of the church. you can tweet it, put in on facebook, snapchat it, Instagram it, vine it, or put it on another social network if you want, but share the church through your testimony this week! and if youre not a member, ask a member to share their testimony with you!

i love you all! con cariƱo, Elder Wagner
