Hola familia y Amigos!!!

THis week was nuts!!! i got attacked by a dog!! hahhaha you cant walk 3 steps withiout seeing another different dog!!!

But a story that i have that was a miracle was when i was on exchanges with another misionero.  His name is Elder Wall.  

We were out just going to citas, when we went to this one old guy that is straight nutso!! but he was no esta.  His really old sister was tho.  They are like 60 years old and still live together.  Sorry family, i wont live with you that long!!!  But we taught her the first principals of the first lesson.  But she kind of brushed it off.  SAhe gave us a reference to the house next door.  The house was a back up  plan for way later in the day.  but we followed the spirit and  decideded to visit it early.. We Clapped the doors [yes we clap doors here] haha and they answered.  Luiz answered the door, but we were therefor his mom Claudia.  She was hiding behind the door.  We could even see her.  She was funny.    We chatted outside the door for a couple of minutes with claudia and then luiz invited us in.  we entered and taught the restoration to both of them.  First milagro, They understood the apostacy.  2nd milagro, They understood how joseph was seeking for the truth even tho he was 14.  3rd milagro they had input for everything that was being taught.  4th milagro, They WANTED to read the book of mormon and pray about it.  5th they excepted a to be baptized and we set a date for the 26 of julio!!!! holy smokes it was so insane.  We walked to blocks after and just prayed to god for thanks!!!! 

God is real.  people are prepared. we just need to do our part to do his work.  He will do the rest.  

This week i have been studying our ancestry in Jacob 5 and it is so insane.. It takes me 1 hour to jsut read 15 versus in that chapter because i am disecting it.  I love it.  

There is this thing called the siesta where every one in the country closes all the stores, from 1 oclock to about 5. and they just sleep and relax.  That is the hardest time to Prosolite.  My house is sweet.  we have such a legit view of the wonderful sunrises EVERY MORNING!! i got blessed this first transfer.  My companion is from Kaysville and has a family of 10 kids.  He prolly has one of the poligamest vans!! haha or how ever you spell that polig word.  I gave my first annointing this week for a women in her hospital bed.  We had to walk eight miles to give it to her.  God needs us even tho its hard some times.  Walking eight miles sucked until i saw her face when we walked in.  later that week i had to do the second part of that blessing to an hermana that gave us lunch.  She was sick.  So she asked me to give it.  I thought it was great even tho i could not speak spanish.  After i got done saying that blessing, she got up bawling... She said that i only revealed one thing to help.  I was suppose to reveal three.. She said i knew the other ttwo... I dont remember knowing them.... haha she was kinda mad, but thankful.  I felt really bad, but i was happy becuase i couldnt even speak spanish and i gave a blessing.  I dont even remember what i said.

Circus in Sacroment

Well circus in sacroment is crazy.  I am counting my blessing that no ivestigators came this week.  The kids were throwing paper airplanes and laying on blankets in the isles, and just loud as can be.  It was hard to have the spirit there.  Haha its so funny to see.  Its like we are sitting in a def person sacroment with no microphone at the pulpet either.  Hahaha its so great.  We have a great youth that loves to help.  

They dont believe in carpet here.  Just dusty tile floars.  How do you spell floars?? flores? i am loosing english.  ahah but i love this place.  

I get a sunrise every morning i love it.  Sorry my last email sucked.... haha i have no time to read emails... i have to take pictures so i have no idea what you say.  so your questions will take about a week to be responded to!

I love all you!! especially you mom... Stop crying!! i am lovbing it.  God blesses me everyday!!!!

Bienvenidos a Neuquen Argentina!!!!

   So I have arrived to Argentina!! Nothing is in English here. All the people all the signs and everything are in Spanish. Even the Microwaves. ahahah >What the heck???
 
   First things first, I took a plane ride to Argentina that I promise I will never take again unless I get to come back to the US of A. Ha-ha it was insane. I was picked up and spent my first 2 nights in the mission home in Argentina. My first night there, there was a man cleaning the house and he was not a member. I then talked to him about the church and gave him a book of Mormon. He promised me that he would read it. Unfortunately he is not in my area.

My Companion Elder Hill



   I am starting in an area called Cutrol Co. It’s about 2 hours west of Neuquén. My companion slash trainer is named Elder Hill. He’s a gangster. And is a stud in the field. We already have 3 baptismal dates and had 4 people come to church my first Sunday. Pray for those dates not to fall through.

My Apartment

 The youth here are very awesome. They are so willing to help with the work. They want to be missionaries so bad. And always want to come do splits with us. Some of them are planning on going to the states. They like to say swear words here. In English. When I hear English it is a swear word. HHAAH so it’s hilarious. But we tell them no.

   People here don’t really say their S or open their mouth when they talk.. Ha-ha it’s so funny but hard to understand. They get mad when you call it Spanish. I speak Castellano. They say [yo] like Show. Or double ll like shhh. It’s a cool language. I taught my first lesson and had to recite the first vision all in memorization. I am surprised I can write in English right now. It’s kind of hard. Hahaha but it’s great. I love the language of Castellano and know that it is the language I can preach God’s word in the best. Thank you so much for the support and all that everyone has done for me. I am working my hardest to do Gods work. It will happen if he wants it too. Love every one of you!!! Elder Wessel





Last Letter From the MTC

Elder Wessel and Elder Jorgensen




Elder Wessel and Elder McAllister

 














  Well hello Family and friends.....

I have come to a conclusion at the Provo CCM (MTC) and have came to the conclusion that it is super repetitive.. So i am sorry for the emails not being as long and humerous, and exciting.

 I am absolutely loving my MTC experience here at the provo MTC. Its so nice to get started and

Elder Farnsworth and  Elder Wessel





 learn so much about how to teach and see different investigators and missionarie views. I have also learned many things while i have been here.

1. Patience really is a virtue. Its good to have things done, but also just take a second to relax and enjoy the task at hand and understand that God has things he wants in your way. Don't try to force things to happen.

 2. Gratitude. I have so much to be gratefull for. I grew up in a family where we all loved eachother but we had to learn alot of things on our own. I am so gratefull for all the support from my family and my good amigos that are out in the field with me. Also for Megan, she has taught me so many things and was such a great example to me in preperation for this huge leap of faith i am taking.

3. Prayer is Real. I will bear testimony of the truthfulness of this gospel until the day that my body is put to rest. Then if god alowes me, i will do work on the other side as well. I love this work. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS. I know he does just because of the trials that i have had to go through here, and he answered me. It feels like i have super powers, but it is just God.

4. Humility. Alma 26:12 Why boast of yourself?? we are nothing if we do not live in the sight of god. God has the power to do all things. WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT GOD AND JESUS CHRIST. Please thank them every night for they have done for you.

Good news i am able to call from the airport, They have prepayed cards here that i have bought. So they select few that are lucky enough to hear my sweet, wonderful spirit (HUMILITY) be prepared to answer between 9 am and 11 am on monday morning, Then also between 4 pm and 9 pm that same day. Please be prepared. From 9 pm to 8:20 the next morning is my flight from georgia to Argentina.. THATS 14 HOURS. hahah Sad news... I keep getting letters about Matt being in peoples lives... and I have yet to have an experience. Those few songs that have come up... but. uhh... nothing.. I guess that is where i need patience. Love you all so much. Elder Wessel Tengo un testimonio de este evangelio. Jesucristo vive cada dia por medio cada una de nos. encontro la expiacion. Jesucristo murio para cada persona. Este iglesia es verdadero.
