Elder Heywood, Fernando, Laura, Raul, Elder WagnerDear Family,
Happy late birthday rissa-roo!!!
Sounds like ya'll been havin' a fun time out there in California. Last week was the last week of the transfer, but Elder Heywood and I are staying here for another transfer (this transfer goes until sept 13th). Time is flying by. Last week it was pretty rainy here, I was woken up several times by thunder during the week. It wasn't so hot but it was super humid. This week is supposed to go back to normal (high 90s).
So I went on an exchange last tuesday and wednesday up to Durant, Oklahoma. I interviewed three people who got baptized on Saturday. Its an english area, so we talked to lots of old baptists, which was entertaining. We had a dinner with a member who lived out in the sticks (on 150 acres). They have like seven kids and breed horses. Funny thing is that they used to live in Tehachapi of all places. He is a horse vet and knew Dr. Reno, not really well but knew the name. That was a random story but Oklahoma is a nice place.
So here in sherman we are like 15-20 minutes to the border. There is a huge casino (like vegas big) called 'The Choctaw.' Anyways. I'm back in Texas thank goodness.
So Saturday I baptized Raul. It took like 4 tries, but he finally got all the way under (he just wouldn't relax and bend backwards). He had lots of opposition this week. A lot of trials. Thursday at work they told him it was his last day. Not cool. Friday his parked car got hit by a UPS truck and it dented the trunk so it doesn't close. Satan works really hard. But Friday afternoon we had a really good lesson about trials and tribulations and how we have to be faithful. After he was confirmed on Sunday he told me it was the happiest he had felt in his life. Can you imagine that? He just lost his job, work is really hard to find and he is the happiest he has been in his life. The Gospel is true.
Have fun and enjoy the summer!
Love,
Elder Wagner
PS. Haven't got the drivers license yet but it'll get here. i attached a pic of raul and us with his kids laura and fernando who got baptized right before i got here
