Well yesterday was quite an exciting day. I had a great personally study and then we were starting class and they told me to come down to the travel office. I got down there and they said, Elder Wadman you are leaving today. And was like are you serious? When? and they said my flight would leave at 1140 from SLC and then go to JFK and then to the DR and that I would need to be ready to go by 830 that night. So me and my comp went and washed all my clothes got everything all packed and I was ready to go. By this time it was about 4 oclock in the afternoon and I was about to take pictures with my district and kind of say bye to people. Luckily though, I didn't have to go through the effort of saying bye to people because they called me back down and told me that I was not going anymore. So it was pretty effective day yesterday Ha, but I did get to talk to mom so that was great. Entonces, the plan now is the same i am leaving in about 2 and a half weeks so I get to be here somemore which is really cool.
This week one of our teachers has committed us to speaking all spanish 24/7 which our district is working hard at. And it is pretty tough but cool to see how much we have progressed in these last six weeks. Next week we will probably get to start hosting, which, if you remeber when you dropped me off all of those elders standing out there to help. Well yeah we will probably get to do that so it will be pretty cool. Also, It is kind of crazy but I was talking to Parker ( elder Hansen) and he is leaving the same day as me from here which is pretty cool. He has been here for a pretty long time so that is kind of crazy for him. I haven't seen Elder Musgrave yet but I am keeping an eye out. I seem to always run into Roger and Karen Bailey which it has been cool talking to them.
So in the mtc we teach our teachers as if they are a real progressing investigator. and on saturday our investigator that we have been teaching this whole time is getting baptized, and for our last lesson we taught her about faith and hope. We read 2 nephi 31:20 which says, Press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold thus saith the Father, Ye shall have eternal life. And I really liked sharing that scripture because it states so simply what we need to do, and how we need to press forward steadfastly in Christ with hope and always be feasting on His words because that is how we can come to know Him and how we can come to feel the Spirit so much more in our lifes. I love the Gospel and my Savior Jesus Christ, who made it possible for me to be where I am and feel what I feel each day here and it is so powerful I love it. I love you all.
Elder Wadman
