Week Thirty-eight and a half: Zone meeting and interviews

This week we had our interviews with president and it was a bitter sweet moment. I loved my interview and learned a lot. i got answers to some questions i had and learned how to be a better representative of Jesus Christ. But he also told me that im going to be in the offices for a good while. this is my 4th transfer here and its normal to have about 7 transfers in the offices as a financial secretary. The reason is because at the end of june we will receive a new mission president and President Camarillo wants someone with experience to be here to help out President Egginton. when we get President Egginton i will be finishing 5 transfers, then im guessing he will want me to stay for 3ish changes to help him out before training my replacement. thats 9 transfers... well at least ill be good at finances before i leave!

Also we had our zone meeting and learned a lot about how this work is the Lord´s work and its a work of love. it was really really good and i learned a ton. 

this week we found 3 new investigators!

Rosa and Johana (mother and daughter): They were a reference we got from the sisters in our ward. apparently they had taught them a few times without knowing that they were in our area haha. we visited them last sunday and then again on wednesday and they are really interested! And they made us food for the appointment on wednesday, so thats a plus haha. so were going to see how that goes!!

Andrea (I think. to be honest i cant seem to remember her name haha oops): She is the girlfriend of a less active in our ward and they want to get married. She already wanted to be baptized a while ago, but her family wouldnt allow it, but now that she is going to get married she wont be living with her family and she can make her own decision. so we have taught her 2 times this week and she is progressing well!

Challenge: Show the love you have for others by serving them and seeing past their shortcomings. Before the mission i wasnt the best at this, but maybe the mission is turning me into a softie haha who knows. But when we show the love we have for others we find love that we didnt even know we had. its weird, when we decide we dont like someone we just kind of make ourselves not like them, but when we try to find the things we like about them and look for the love we have for them we just start to love them and its kind of incredible. so thats the challenge, Love others! oh and its a commandment, so you kind of have to do it haha.

Con cariño, Elder Wagner
