so I would just like to start of with a stacting story.
so most missionaries have stories like we knocked and knocked and door after door no after no then one says yes. but that is not how this story goes.
Elder Darley was letting me plan out our day so I get all excited I get to go where I think we would go!! kinda attitude (I am really excited) I am looking at the map where to go tracting and I am like I have never heard this street before lets go there. so we are knocking people are nice here so they talk to you "just" to be nice then say no. as we are walking we start to go up this stairs that lead up to this really really old rundown house (and the stairs were the same way7 feet off the ground). I knock on the door and knock again and no one is home. as we turn to go down the stairs to keep tracting Elder Darley falls through ! the run down stairs like one of the boards just broke haha (he did not hit the ground he caught himself by the time he was half way through the porch) It was the funnies thing yet on the mission. . . we leave and on our way back we see this guy looking at his broke porch. So we go up to him and start saying sorry that elder Darley fell through (he was ok along as Elder Darley was ok) now to make things short,l he now has a baptismal date for the end of october!! haha how awesome !
also just a quick thing I was on splits with Elder bassett and in his area there is a street called Wadey street so i was kinda like we have got to go here so we went and the very first house we knock on the guy's name was WADE like what?!?!?! Elder Wade talking to Wade on Wadey street haha that cool !!
I am working hard out here like holy cow satan works HARD on the Lord's missionaries.
Thanks for all the Love and support It means alot
Love Elder Wade

This Week All the Way Up In Canada
Soo I am going to start off with the photos I sent a pic of food because I wanted to show what I would eat out here in the mission field !! yeah That is a lie that food is the best meal that I have made back at the apartment haha the second photo is all the missionaries that are serving in the hole city of Regina. (oh i am so happy I am in a city because if I was not in the city the only other missionary I would see in my Comp. ) so The city is a nice place to serve.
Oh so Saturday night came and I was so so happy because we had 9 !! investigators who said they were going to come to Church !! How cool is that. . . BUT wait When sunday come the next day we were calling people making sure that everyone was going to have a ride and all that good stuff..... (Hear is the worst part) so we call Ken (a man who has read and prayed about the book of Mormon and says he know that it is from God) and when I asked Ken if he was coming he said he never wanted to talk to us again and he was not coming to church. (I was sad but then just remembered all I am here on a mission is to bring the gospel to people and let them choose and use their agency if they want to follow what the Lord wants for them) Then our 2 other people with baptismal dates have stopped answering their phone and stopped coming to the door so they did not come to Church.
Then the worst one just because it was kinda our fault that she and her whole family did not come. . . so her and her family said they would just want to church which was awesome !! because then we dont have to fined a ride for them or any thing. 12:10roles around and her husband calls and says that they actually do want ride. . . all the people that we called said they could give them a ride at 12:30 but they were running really late and had to open the school (where church is) so we could set up the sacrement and ended up not getting to their house until 1:10 and but that time she probably thought that we had forgot about her and so she went shopping so she did not come to church. . . anyways that was a really long way of telling you guys that all 9 of our investigators did not come to church.
-Sunday in a different ward someone what baptized earlier this week and I was asked to confirm her a member in sacrement !! that was an awesome experience!!
This week we also had Zone conference and we had Elder Andersen some (from the 70) and the topic that everyone picked (that was speaking was faith) and best part was this "Faith is NOT just believing that Christ is there for you and that he really but faith is Trusting IN Gods will and Knowing that it will all work out as long as we are following His commandments!!
I know that Christ is there for each and everyone of us. I know that He lives and that He has died for me and would do it all over again if it was just for me. Christ Loves us That much !! He will do anything for us as long as we Trust (have faith) in His will/ timeing.
CHRIST IS THERE FOR YOU !!
I love you and The LORD Loves you even more then you can even imagine.
Love Elder Wade

Well sorry I am kinda short on time right now so sorry to everyone who I was not able to email to this week I will try to type faster next week so I can get to them all...
So quick story So this Sunday we were driving to the church and it is (12 K away form our apartment and we only have 57 k a day) and when we arrived I noticed that i had forgotten my suit coat so I call Elder Jensen to see if I can use one of his suit coats so he was so nice and said I could use one and Sooo I did not really fit in it like i could not butten it up or anything and I could not lean forward because I was scared that I would rip the coat and you have to remember That I has wearing that suit coat form 9 am -5 pm holy cow I was so so uncomfortable haha but I am happy that I could use it.
also i went on splits this week so i went with Elder Fowler and we went to a guys house who's name was jason and Jason was a funny dude like as we were talking to him he showed us this jar of dead flys that when he kills them he will put them in this jar and he calls them like the living dead jar or something like that.
so a little bit about people where I am at. the people in here are nice (which kinda really stinks) only because we will set an appointment with some one and they will say yes and then when you come back and knock on the door you see the TV turn off and then people hiding from you (if you dont want to talk to us then dont waist our time by saying yes to us coming back) we will talk to people all the time that are like this but also people I think people think that we are the cops haha also people here as we are walking down the street trying to talk to people they will just cross the road so they wont have to talk to us haha that is ok because we just follow them across the read. I guess I am getting used to knocking on doors because for my first area they were opening a new area so there is all new some yeah so we have to start from the beginning so that is kinda funny (haha) so my first tracking approach that I had went a little buit like this Hello we are the missio --- I dont want what you guys are selling... we dont sell anything we teach people about Jesus Christ ---- Oh yeah I dont want any of that stuff either slams the door haha ( you also have to remember that hole time I had my had out to shake his haha) ( that is one of the not so nice people). but the part of canada I am in the not nice at all ( I have never seen so so many broken windows because of rocks through through them. . . I am in the hood ) (like not joking we are not aloud to track after it gets dark because they say it is not safe for use to be there haha yeah)
I love love teaching teaching people it just makes me so happy. . . but the funny thing is i also love giving talks in church hahah kinda funny now but I dont know what it is (haha I think I just might like to hear my self talk haha no that is not it I just love sharing my testimony with people and seeing how that can change how people think. . . SOOO where I am getting with this is I would encourage you all the share what you KNOW and that will make your testimony so much stronger !! Oh by the way there is Rabbits and squirrels like EVERY where !!!

Hello
Holy cow the weeks here drag on right now. I love teaching so much I love being able to share my testimony all the time with like everyone i get to know haha. but what makes the week so long is when I am in the rooms. I don't even know what to say about that place (they are nice rooms) but I just HATE being in there because I start to think about all you guys and how awesome I think all you guys are.
I don't know why but everyone just want to give me stuff like this week people i dont know how many times i was offered a cigarette and I was also offered BEER haha they just wanted give me anything haha yeah the funny thing is that they never ask if Elder Darley wants any but they only ask me. haha what are you going to do about it other then just say no. . .
This week Elder Darley and I had 2 investigators come to church !! that was awesome !! there names are cassy and Nathaniel and they are both 18 and living together (we have not taught them that lesson yet haha) but these to people are awesome they love the lessons when we teach. I am really excited for them.
this week also I go to Church all day like form 7 am - 7 pm holy cow that was ssssssooooo long haha it is nice through sundays are the best. so I went to a inter city group. . . (in the North Central area people dont have money for cars so there is a church for people to walk to)(it is just a room not a hole Church) so I walked in there and in the room there was only 7 people there including me !!
and 2 others were my investigators how weird. . . haha week I have to go my time is up so love you guys.
Love Elder Wade
