Week 84

(This is where I live... It's beautiful)

What a week!! its been really awesome, we have had a ton of progress with our investigators!!!  we are planning on 5 baptisms this week! The Gonzalez family and Jamie.  we have been blessed with these great people who want to make covenants with God! its awesome, we are pumped!

On Tuesday I gave a training about helping our investigators put on the "armor of God"... It went great and I think the missionaries will take it to help the people they are teaching. 
This week we also got the privilege to have a training from one of the Area 70's, Elder Hugo Montoya! he is a really awesome guy! one thing that really stood out to me is, how he explained the reason we are here and what we are to do as people here on earth! as the second commandment after love God over all things, is love your neighbor like unto yourself! he taught us how we have to stop focusing on ourselves and love our neighbors! its so true cause lots of the time we are so focused on what " i " am going to do to get better, or what am "I" going to do for myself tomorrow, or what do "I" need, or what do "I" want.  But how will our day be if we say to ourselves what can "i" do to help "them " get better, or what am "i" going to do for "them" tomorrow or what does "he" need.   when we do that we will see that we get better together!! our bonds will grow stronger and we will have so much more happiness!! it was a great talk and one that i needed for sure!  i testify that it works! when we think about others rather than ourselves things are just, better! everyone feeling better and happier! Through us the people will not just feel our love but also the love of our Savior and Father in Heaven, we will be instruments in "Their" hands to help others around us feel "their" love! so give it a try! think of the people around you a bit more! thats what i am working on too and i feel the happiness flowing through me!  It really works! Service is the best way to Love your neighbor! 

i love you guys soo much!! have a great week!!! 
Love, Elder Wagner
