Elder Wagner, Sydney Australia South

Last group photo in Sutherland.....  This young man from our ward is awesome!   Elder Schneider I was transferred this week to Canberra, this is the capital of Australia.  It is inland from the coast and surrounded by forest, nature reserves and farm land.  It is nicknamed "Bush Capital". My new companion is Elder Schneider, he is from Germany.  He is a great missionary and we get along great already!   PAIN IS TEMPORARY...... QUITING LASTS FOREVER!!  yo yo yo how are my people back home??? I can tell you one thing.... I am fetching great mate! If there is one thing I have learned this week it is too NEVER quit, never give up! I have been reading the Book of Mormon and have been struggling when it comes to focusing. I don't know why, but to read the Book of Mormon for an hour is a really hard thing for me to do.  I came across this quote the other day that said, "PAIN IS TEMPORARY...... QUITING LASTS FOREVER!!"

Reunited with my MTC buddies, Elder Clark and Bohne  Service Elders!  This week we have been so busy it is crazy!! We have been trying to help those in our ward with anything they need and I love it! We have not been finding much success here in Sutherland, but we think we might have been missing the big picture. Missionary work is not all about teaching lessons or knocking on doors 24/7. It is about serving your fellow man, and we are doing as much of both knocking and service as we can!  It is wonderful to know that there is always something we can do to help someone else's load easier. I challenge you all to go out of your way today to help someone you care for. It could be as easy as making dinner for someone or even offering your kids to be there slaves for the day! hahaha! get creative and wake up and do something more! I love you all heeps! send me your feedback, I would love to hear from you@  wagner.tyler@myldsmail.net    Lo...

Week 13  TIME Some amazing places in my area....   Stopped at Crunell Beach to take a few pictures after District meeting. The beauty of the world is amazing... Some of our Zone.... They are great sisters and elders!  This is how Elders roast marshmallows in Sutherland!   The days feel like weeks, but the weeks feel like days....  This transfer has flown by, only 2 weeks left!!! Hopefully Elder Hau and I stay together... He really is the best! With time going so fast on my mission, it has made me realize that our time on this earth is soooo short!!! Each day I am closer to death haha!!! :)  I have come to realize everything we do each day will effect our future! All the small and simple things of each day are important....  I am striving every day to come closer to our Heavenly Father because each and every day counts and boy oh boy it goes fast! We need to root ourselves in this wonderful gospel so when t...

Playing "Footy" on the beach.  Halloween...Trunk or Treat Great family Night!  This week I thought I would share my testimony of the power of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is something that we can/must use in our everyday lives. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon is the word of God, as I read more each and every day, I come to see how it relates to me more in my everyday life. There is soooo much we can learn from every page in the BOM! I know with all my heart that this church is true and that each and every person on this earth can and will come to know of the truth. I love my Heavenly Father and I know that He loves us. I know the book of Mormon to be the true word of god and am so grateful I get to share it with the people of auzi. I love you all and would love to hear from you! ofa atu!  (means love you in Tongan)  Elder Tyler Wagner We made cookie bars.... Questions 1.  How ...
