Merry Christmas !!

Ok so this week Elder Abadicio and I were tracking it was like 8:30 and we are cold well we are always cold you just never get competently warm haha. But we knocked on this one laddies home (quick side note if it is cold out side we dont need fellowship to step into a women house for only like the 3 min or 5 min really nice) but so this laddie lets us in and right aways she goes in to bible bashing mode and telling us we don't read the scriptures well and telling us everything that she thinks she know about us. . .one of the things she talked about is why it is important NOT to have Christmas (because we are not supposed to follow the traditions of men) so we just kindly said sorry for getting you all worked up. Thanks for letting us visit with you for a little bit. . . All that night I was trying to figure that out WHY do we Christmas and this is what I came up with

 : Articles of Faith 1:13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. Right there at the end of 13... Christmas is the time when people are not most Charitable. People Give and help other. We try to be the light of the World. We try to make the world a better place !

 And this just made me think why would we not have Christmas. Why would we wont to get ride of happiness That because of Christs we have ?!?!

 I know that Jesus Christ Love each and everyone one of us. There is not one person that is not able to feel the love of Christ. If we want to feel the Love that our Heavenly Father has for us MORE FULLY we have to build a Relation ship with our Father in Heaven. and How we do that is by talking with him(Prayer) and them listening ( through personal revelations or the Most Common way it through Reading the Scriptures (mainly the Book of Mormon) The Book of Mormon has Power to help lift harts and strengthen each and everyone of us.

 I love the Gospel I love that I do have a Loving Heavenly Father that wants to hear form me each and everyday...

 One thing I miss about home is the Temple being able to go when ever... would each and everyone of you who can make it to the temple make an effort and go !

 Thanks

The work is slow so just some stories for you. . . Well Elder Abadicio and I are getting a long great ! so like during lunch break we play some basketball (P.I.G) with a small hoop and well this week during the night someone slipped us a letter that our neighbors they called themselves they said somthing like we have talked to the office about the noise you make and they told us to get the Winnipeg police involved to get you to stop making noise sooo will you stop before we get the cops. . . Kinda stupid just come tell us to stop in person we did not ever realize we were even making so much noise !

 ok when i was with Elder Linford we were tracking and it was like 8:30 pm and we are just going for door to door and We walked up to this door and I knocked on it just like a small tap as I was reading this paper he had on his door. it said DO NOT KNOCK ON MY DOOR AFTER 7PM and when I tapped the door Dogs barking and Barking and we panicked thinking what do we do what do we do !?!?! SOO probably should not have done this but We ran away for the door as fast as we could haha

 well Merry Christmas !

thanks for all the Prayers !

From Elder Wade

Hey !! All the Way From Canada !!

This week was good we have been trying so hard to find people to teach that are interested (tracting has not been going good for me ) haha well I am learning a lot about how the spirit work ! I is hard to explain. .. there is no better way of saying it then if it leads you to do good it is of God. and that is a great way to start to realize the promptings of the spirit and then as you continue to follow those you began to realize how the spirit speaks to you all the time !

I know that the Lord loves each and everyone one of us he Knows our tries and knows our weakness... Which means He knows how to make us stronger and work a "if we are on the right path it will Always be up hill"

 I know that the Lord Really does want the best for us !

 Thanks for all the love and support !

My new Companion's name is Elder Abidicio

Oh Canada!

So Thursday Night Elder Linford and I get a call form the assistance at 9:30 pm and they tell us Elder linford is getting moved. . . I am getting a new comp who is coming in form New Zeland (sorry I don't know how to spell it) so that is gooding to be awesome !! (oh and that is all happing this week mid transfer !) Kinda Crazy Eh It will all work out !

so this week Elder Linford and I since we have not had any success finding people we went through ALL Potential Records (people who said come back and the missionarys before were unale to contact them again) (100 people) and made this map of our area so and put everyone on it so we can stop by everyone of them and see if they are interested again. . . so far no luck . . .we have only been able to do 10 out of the 100 so 90 more to go !! haha

 The weather here well. . . there has not been a day here since October 25 that there has not been snow on the ground !! I am still warm thou like all I use is just a middle temp. jacket and my church shoes (all my other clothes also for any of you who my have been confused about that statement haha) ( So no boots yet. . . I got to warm of boots my feet would be to hot and that is no fun walking around in)

 This week there was also a Filipino party and all the missionarys were also to come also which was great! . . . BUT. . . They asked us to sing a Christmas song for all of them so we said we would. . .Then the Zone leaders had to go give a blessing so they left then 2 other sisters were using the bathroom at the time so 4 of us get up there to sing and we start the other 3 missionaries started so not sing anymore ( like they were but they could not stop them selfs form laughing so it seemed to me I was infront of 85 -100 Filipinos singing a solo . . . it was funny because then one of the people can a sang with us because he felt bad for us. . . haha so yeah

 Well I hope all is going well for all of you back at home in good old Utah !!

 With Love Elder Wade

This week was a lot a finding !! So I am not going to tell you all the streets we tracked on haha. . .The Members here (there may not be very much but they are very nice and Love to feed us) like wow I dont know how I am not gaining any weight (well I am trying to each like a good friend of mine named Brantley.) so how it works is as you are eatting you have to just start talking so there is not time to put anyone food in your mouth haha I thanks Brantley for that little trick that is comming handy right now haha.

 all the Members are filipino it seems like and they are always talking tigolic (spelling?) so hay I know what it feels like to be sitting there and feel like the only one who has no Idea what is being said haha

 This week we went on a exchange and I went with elder Brayley and we were talking about how there is Ice Everywhere like Here in Canada they dont seem to know how to clean the roads they just let people drive on it and then it turns to ice haha but we were saying how it was out goal to make it all of winter and not fall haha I was DOing so going until we were talking up to this house where we has set up an appointment and I came around the corner and splat there I go on the floor. . . If anyone is wondering I am OK.. ..

Thanks so much for all the Prayers This week I could really feel a difference and I think it is because of prayers. I love the song Did you Think to Pray in it it says Prayer will change the night to day I know that it really does. . . The hardest part about praying is getting the answer and be willing to be happy with what ever answer we get and for me getting the NO to my prayer is hard but I know that our Heavenly Father is there and wants to help us. . . Even when He says NO to something does not mean he is not going to help you with what you are struguling with it just means Our Heavenly Father wants us to grow and gain and in strengthening our Testimony.

 This week I found 2 new investigators !! and 6 others that are not investigators but we have return appointments !!

 We did not do much this week other then finding (not much funny storys) I love telling my funny story but when you don't have any...

 ok well I kinda got one We were talking to the bishop (he is a really funny man) be he and his family were feeding us dinner and they were asking us what we missed out the states and what I said was cheep Cheese like a block of cheese here is like $12 and so we all laugh about it.

 So a week latter we were sitting in ward council and the bishop was 5 min late so we started with out him when he walked in there was a stop of the conversation waiting for him to sit down out of nowhere this block of cheese comes flying through the air and nails me in the chest because (I had stuff in my hands haha) well I think the bishop likes me. . .

 This week was good I know that the Lord is there for each and everyone of us and wants to help us through our hard times but he also want us to grow. . .We are all like baby chickens we need to out of our shells but our self or we will never make it through this hard life. . . We need our testimony's of the Love our Savior has for us in this same way. . . We need to Want it we need to Desire it we need to Work and it and be willing to follow the Lord more closely then ever before so we can make it though this hard life...

Here in Canada Winnipeg

This week has been really really long we are doing a lot a finding and finding a lot of people who do not want anything to do with the Church. Finding people has not been this hard we can seem to fined at least one person who is willing to hear from us a day. . . not this week 0 all week it has felt like also 0 lessons to an investigator for the past 3 weeks. . .

I start off by telling you how everything is going wrong because I know that hard times only last for a short time in life. Take Joseph Smith when He was in Jail He asked how much more of this am I going to have to take? and Christ said to him you pains will only be of a short time (something like that) Even one of the most faithful people that has lived in the past 200 years (Joseph Smith) suffered and suffered. I know that I am not suffering compared to Joseph Smith. What I am getting at is as long we are willing to continue to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be a defender of truth at all times in all things and all places the Lord Will bless us. (Matthew 4:11-12 ) Blessed are ye,when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely FOR MY Sake 12 Rejoice and be exceeding glad for Great is your reward in Heaven"!

Sorry it short but i do know that as hard times come it only makes you stronger just like a weight lifter. . . at first it is hard you dont feel like you are getting anywhere you are sor all the time. you feel like you are wasting your time. No eventually the pain will subside and you will be stonger then ever. . . Trust in the Lord the Gospel is a lot like that but we just have to keep acting on our faith and soon that will be stronger than ever. "Trust in the Lord!! He knows best!"

Gospel is a lot like that but we just have to keep acting on our faith and soon that will be stronger then ever. "Trust in the Lord !! He knows best !"
