Oh Canada

Well I am called to the Regina north Central area YSA and Lamanite (native people) fun fact about this spot is the North Central area in the most dangerous spot in canada so We are not allowed to go there after it gets dark. . . haha its all good it is only bad at night so I am all ok the Lord would not be willing to put me somewhere I would not be ok going that. So the native people are so nice (during the day)(at least to us haha) but a lot of people are willing to let us come and set appointment with us. The only problem is when we show up we see them through the window and when we knock on the door the TV turns off and they act like no one is home haha it kinda stinks but it is their choice so its ok... I was able to give my first books for Mormon !!! (3 of them) it was awesome !! oh I forgot to mention that the North Central area is a brand new mission so (white washed) any ways back to my story about all the new investigators ... So Elder Darly (my COMP.) and I are walking around knocking on doors where we were supposed to have appointment and again no one is home. anyways a man opens his door and we were talking to him and He has just gotten out of Jail (no idea why) and he comes out was lights his cigarette and asks if we want on haha. so we start teaching him about the Book of Mormon and that is going really well and he wants the book of Mormon (1 book for me) and then the rest of his family shows up and he tells them all to sit down and talk to us so now we have 5 people sitting on the front of there house all listening to us (which was awesome !) and then the dad tells the girls to go get us these drinks ( no idea what they have just handed us to drink) so I was kinda freaking out like what is this man having us drink) so we are trying to talk to them and smell what type of drink we have just gotten but I just tried it any ways. . . you will never believe what I drank haha yeah you would it was cherry soda haha so so happy it was that. any ways we were able to finish our lesson and now were have another appointment with this family really excited. oh this week on sunday it was 8:00 am and I get a call and they were asking me to give a talk in Church about my favorite mission story haha i told him I would give a talk but I was only 3 days in haha the talk went really really well. . . after church the bishop pulled me aside and said how happy he was and how much the ward is going to love having me in the ward teaching them. which was awesome to hear!! anyways Canada is cool. I cant wait until i am like 12 weeks in so I don't get home sick haha   well thanks Love Elder Wade

MTC Life

this week we had 2 Apostles come Elder Ballerd and Elder Anderson!!!! HOW  cool is that 3 Apostles in 2 weeks !!! it cant get better then that here at the MTC. . .  I feel really bad through because I ALWAYS fall asleep for the first like 20 min the the devotionals. (sad) so I always wake up like 5 min already into their talks. I still got a lot out of them but i just miss out on so much because of the sleep and then the worst part is Then I CANT sleep that night (mad face) not because i am home sick but because i just took a nap like 1 hour ago. . . 

I have started the book of Mormon over this last Thursday and I am already on page 70 !!(which is great for me because I am a slow reader) haha that is ok. . .  reading the Book of Mormon all over again and trying to read more then just one chapter a day is so awesome!! I can get so much more out of reading. . ..

so we are in the new building for the school part of the MTC which means we are not allowed to have any food up there. . .  anyways the 4 people going to Canada brought a hole suit case worth of food up into class trying to get the teacher to let us go outside and have a big party !!! (we had so much food) anyways some home the janitors found out that we were bringing food into the building and they were so mad (they told all of this to another group of Missionarys haha I don't know why they got mad at them for what we did. but that is ok with me) 

Here at the MTC we get to do practice lessons with fake investigators which is kinda alot of fun learning how to teach and share the gospel. . . We had one investigator who's name Paula. She was so awesome to teach. I was able to give my testimony on the importance of reading the Book of Mormon  everyday and also my testimony of Joseph Smith the Spirit was so strong. it was great.

does anyone else realize that i only have 4 more days until i get to move to Canada ??? How crazy is that ?!?!?!  I still cant believe that i am really going to Canada the one place that I have always wanted to go it is it is just so awesome. . .  

I miss home but i also love it so so so much here i just cant wait to be able to be really teaching people that are looking for the gospel... I know that this church is true and the most important thing is I KNOW that we have a loving Heavenly father who wants to help each and everyone of us all we have to do is be humble enough to get down on our knees and ask him for his help and be willing to do anything that the Lord wants you to do. . . 

Love Elder Wade

This Week

Well where do I start ?!?!?! This week has gone by so so fast I feel like it was Saturday just 2 days ago! This week has been so much fun being able to learn to teach better and know what to say. WOW I am learning so much it is just great!! 

 One day this week Elder Roberts and I just finished teaching a lesson and we walk into my room and ALL of my roommates stole my bed!! like I cant finned it anywhere !! so I am running around looking into all the rooms around us looking for my bed. . . Any ways I look into a room and there is some kid i don't even know looking at another kids bed asking "why is there too beds on this one bed ??" right as he said that I put MY bed on my back and don't even respond to him and just walk out. haha i still have not talked to that kid.

This week as I was walking around trying to get to the next place I saw sooo many people I knew like 5 diffrent groups of people!! so that was cool !

So Elder's carr, Jensen and I have gotten soo many packages this week. which is great I love getting stuff but I have so much food Right now (each person gets there own place to put there clothes and we have 2 !! of those places filled with food Like holy cow we have so much food. 

our room is (all the 4 peoples going to Canada room) is the cool room we have people over all the time just chilling and hanging out during the night (even people I don't know who they are haha we all love it)

oh yeah I almost forgot but this week I get some NERF Guns from my family but we use those all the time. We actually came up with is fun game that is kinnda like the cowboys shooting things were you have to stand so fare from the other person and you have to try to shoot the other Elders name tags !! That was way fun we really got into that game. we even did a double elimination braket !! And guess who came in first !! this guy haha Elder Wade 1 Elder Jensen 2 and Elder Carr 3 all top 3 all people who are going to Canada !!

last Sunday Elder Bednar came and that was just so cool being able to here him speak.

We are doing a lot of learning the Gospel and teaching right not I just don't think that is as fun to read so I don't put that much in haha But teaching is really a lot of here some of the fake investagators (teachers) are really good and giving the Elders a hard time by not paying atention while to teach so that you get used to that when there is a family and you are trying to teach one person and the rest of the family does not want to be there is that is really cool. 

I am Loving it here but I also cant wait to go out to Canada spread the gospel. 

Thanks Love Elder Wade

I got to see Elders Hill, Johnson, Neilson this week. oh funny story about that so I was practicing talking to people pretending I was contacting and then all of the sudden Elder Neilson comes up behind me with out me even know in smacks me on top of the head I was so confused I had no idea what was going on util i say Colin!! My comp. was so confused until he found out that we knew each other. Oh yeah I forgot to say that my comps. name is elder Roberts and his first name is Harrison also!! 

One day 3 other missionarys and I were walking out of our class we just had and I go running up this the dude with hair that is going kinda crazy and this big of beard and all of the other missinarys were like what the heck is elder Wade doing !! and I was my physics teacher !! Mr. Deburk that was cool.

I am in a doorm with 3 other elders Elder Roberts Elder Carr and Elder Jensen my secound cusion !! how cool is that. we are all the people who are going to the Canada Mission.

Today we went to the temple and I saw Jessica and Austin today there!! That was nice to see them. . .  but any ways as we were in the temple I was sitting is that last room of the temple praying then the spirit came over me so strong I just started crying and I could not get my self to stop !! Like I wanted to keep feeling the spirit but I did not want to just sit the and just cry. haha well that has been the best part about the MTC so far was being able to be so close to the spirit. 

It is hard work but awsome !! 

I know that I am called to this mission for a reason and I am so excited to be able to go out teaching people what I know to be true.

Love you guys
