One of my favorite pics from Tyler... getting a ride in the trolley!  WEEK 40:  Hey guys!!! Sorry it has been so long, life has been CRAZYYYYY!!!!! Well let me tell you guys something... life has it's twists and turns!! Someone once said, "when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade."  that saying is so true!  There is so much in life that just gets thrown in our faces and we have no idea why, but it is our job to make something out of it.  I know that Heavenly Father gives us trials in our lives for a reason, there is not anything "to hard" to over come, HE would not do that to us. He knows us, He knows the things you can and will do!  Just keep on going foreword!!!!  Sorry no pics this week, I forgot my camera back at the flat.  I love you all!!! Have a great week!!!  Mama's Questions:   1.  Did you have to move flats?  Nope we stayed! 2.  How is the new one if you did? 3.  How was your week?  ...

Mother's Day Skype.... One of the best days of the year!   Elder Wagner skype was a bit touch and go with really poor connection, pretty frustrating at first til we got his big brother to help us figure things out!   Elder Wagner shared that he is excited to get smart phones in their mission, which will happen anytime now.  He also talked about his new companion, Elder Harris, saying that he is grateful for his worker ethic and that they are great partners with lots in common.  The kids asked him about this least favorite and favorite food so far... Least favorite being raw fish and favorite Lou (w/corn beef) or horse meat. Elder Wagner shared his testimony about his love for the gospel, how he wants to better/further himself daily, his growth spiritually and the biggest thing that has shaped who he is thus far in his mission is his desire to further his knowledge of the gospel and Really understanding that Heavenly Father, Je...

Service with a Smile :)Love this family! Our Ward Mission leader is the man!  Can you tell we are not happy about being sick all week? HAHA  showing our sorrow...  Zone conference with the President and his Wife... Super good people and speakers!  I really liked how the President talked about everyone being numbered, so we need to find those who are not yet numbered!! We are all looking for those that need and are ready to accept the words of Christ.  I encourage you to, Keep looking and helping those that are searching for the truth.   What we do when we are stuck inside all week.... Pomegranate trees, loaded with fruit!  Update on the President....Love this man!  Week 36 (Tyler had been really sick all week with a cold, his comp and other elders in his apartment had all been sick with the flu)  We got to email only for a brief time, his comp ende...

Well I don't have much time this week so I'm keeping this short and to the point. If we are living by our faith in our Heavenly Father we have nothing to fear. I have a simple challenge for you today.  All I ask of you this week is to do something that will strengthen your faith in Our Heavenly Father so that you will have nothing to fear!!! I love you all have a great week!!!         Mamma's questions:   1.  How was your week?  1. it was good!!! We moved into a new flat with the zone leaders.  It is really nice! Our investigators are doing really good, it has been a roller coaster, but so worth it. They are progressing and seem to understand more and more each time we meet.   Wednesday we had a great zone conference.  We also got to mow grass for service, but otherwise had a pretty normal week.   2.  What is the weather like now? 2.  It feels like October back home, cooler nights. ...

Week 34

Service with a smile at the food bank!   The Elders loved working at the food bank and commented on the amount of great food donated.  My message this week is simple... all I ask of you is to help others to follow HIM... it is so simple, yet challenging but so so rewarding... I love my Father in Heaven and I am so grateful to be living in a time that we have a living prophet on the earth today!!! I loved hearing President Nelson, apostles and leaders of the church this past weekend (we listened to conference a week later).  The love our Father in Heaven has for us is without end, yet all he asks us to do is follow HIM. Please refer your friends or neighbors to the Full time missionaries serving in your area, they know and are worthy to teach those you love and care for. I love you all and know that as you follow our Saviors example you will be blessed!!! Elder Tyler Wagner General Conference pics with the zone.... The new Zone... P...
