HOLA HOLA HOLA! QUE PASO CON LA WAGSTAFF? QUE QUIRE LA WAGSTAFF? DONDE ESTA LA WAGSTAFF? LA WAGSTAFF NO ESTA? LA WAGSTAFF LA WAGSTAFF LA WAGSTAFF LA WAGSTAFF!
I didn't realize till.. hmmm yesterday that everyone, all the members, all the investigators, everyone calls me LA WAGSTAFF. Anytime someone calls "can i talk to LA WAGSTAFF?" No one can say HERMANA WAGSTAFF it's just too hard so it's always LA WAGSTAFF. and let me tell ya.. it's doesn't always sounds like your typical wagstaff. it's sounds like wastaf, waffles, wafa, wagfat. WHO GAVE US THIS LAST NAME???
So i just realized what time it is.. don't have much time because this 30 year old man has been chatting my ears off about Pokemon. Told him i love pokemon (in reality i don't know one thing about it...big mistake to say you love pokemon to someone who really does) he told me to save his computer and now he is frantically walking about the neighborhood trying to catch a pokemon. should i be concerned?? OH HE'S BACK! i was so worried! he found the pokemon at the gym next door. so confused sir im just trying to write los wagstaffs!
anyway fam 18 months ago... you, I, and a couple strangers sat in on one beautiful night of reeses shakes at dairy queen on feburary 9th. and little did you know the advice and council you gave me has changed my mission! i read your advice every morning in my personal study and YOU GUYS WERE THE ONES THAT HELPED ME MAKE THIS MISSION THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!
Through Mitch I knew i could take any houston heat and crazy hispanic because he told me, "petes brother from "unbroken" said to louie, "if you can take it, you WILL make it." example: sons of mosiah teaching the lamanites got treated very badly but they were always patient in their afflictions- always answered with kindness." THANKS MITCH!
Through Kels I would have never known how sweet but sometimes fake these latins are. We find a golden on the street they are like "yes come back everyday and baptize me tomorrow!" LIAR! we never see them again! because kels told me, "the spanish population are very kind and loving. Not always committed but they want to be good." I HAD NO IDEA BEFORE THE MISS! THANKS KELS!
Through Dad i knew it was ok to have a bad day or be sad. THAT'S NORMAL AND THAT'S LIFE. I've definitely stretched and learned more than i ever thought i ever would. Because daddy told me, "you will feel new things. loneliness, disappointment, spiritual highs you've never known. when people really get to know you, they'll respect what you say and listen to your message! THANKS DADDY!
Through minds i learned how good God is in our everyday lives. Being able to reflect on my day through nightly prayer i have learned to see the the lords hand in every second of everyday. Whether it's a sunset, an investigator understanding our message, or a free icecream cone from abel when i think i'm going to melt. GOD KNOWS ME AND IS IN MY EVERY SINGLE DAY! because mindy told me, "always look back at the day and see how the lord had a hand in your life. it will help you see things in a positive light and will make you realize that little miracles happen every day!" THANKS MINDY
Through Brady i learned this mission is not about me! this isn't my work this is our saviors work! GET OUT OF THE WAY LA WAGSTAFF. what brady told me is so true i've made a lot of great friends thanks to you! because he told me, "you can make more friends in two months being interested in them than you can make in two years being interested in yourself. all the goals and numbers are important but the best thing is to love and get to know them" THANKS BRADS!
Through Addie she helped me remind me i can do this! That no matter what gets thrown at me i can do this! because i am nothing but with the savior i am everything! I have been set apart and i've been trying to live up to the counsel ads gave me. because she said, "to always be myself. that i am capable. I don't freak out in any situation but stay full of goodness." this one has been hard. many times i wanted to smash peoples head in but what good would that do! THANK YOU ADS!
Through Ronnie i've learned how to be the best companion i can. All my companions have become my best friends and i love them soooo much because ronnie told me, "companions can be hard. Don't think of yourself. think of christ and what he went through for us. work on your relationship with the savior. he is more important than anything else become his servant and try to be like him." THANKS RONNIE!
Through Rachel i've learned that truly we have an army of angels on our side. to protect and guide us through this crazy life. I've felt them throughout my mission and i'm so grateful for what rachel told me, "when you pray, unload your burdens on the lord. Pray for your ancestors and those on the other side will help and support you! it will be hard and you will be tested but he will be there for you!" THANKS RACHEL!
through rex i learned i always needed to fast and the lord would bless me! richard told me not to be scared because the holy ghost is with me!
Through my dearest mom i learned how to serve with all my heart, might, mind and strength and make this the best experience for me and my investigators. because my mom said, "go with your heart. be a light within yourself. its not what you say it's what you are. what converts is the spirit. make a friend before you try to convert." i've learned this to be so true! it's not what i say it's how i act each and every day that converts. THANKS MOM!
There is so much other advice you have all given me and i just thank you all for all that you have taught me. Here i am with four more weeks and we are still seeing soooo many miracles! I keep thinking ok if i was at disneyland with my dad right now would he say i got my money worth today? DID I WORK HARD ENOUGH?? did i go on splash mountain 1704 times?? what more could i have done? GET THE LORDS MONEY WORTH! THIS IS IT EAGLE QUARTER!! GET YOUR CLAWS UP IN THE AIR!
