Temporal Blessings


-Prayers Shall Be Answered-
As I was upset about the laundry set up, a few days later I talked to the housing coordinator and he said we would be moving to a different complex furnished with yep that's right a Washer and Dryer! Oh I was so excited ( never thought I'd be excited over doing laundry...) This complex is pretty new and super fancy so I'm glad we have been blessed with southern California hospitality :)

B-Dubs

The missionaries (especially Adam) really seem to love B-Dubs. They go there for birthday lunches, after district meetings, and for any other excuse they can come up with to go. Here is a fun post from one visit to B-Dubs.

"After District Meeting on Thursday we went to B-Dubs for lunch and I am now a part of History! I tried the Blazin Challenge! Eat 12 of their wings straight from the fryer, drenched in their hottest sauce Blazin, and then all in my mouth within 6 minutes."
"It got all over my face and scalded my mouth but I finished with about 30 seconds left and beat the challenge! It was so much fun!"


Adam's Testimony of Avoiding Contention

Training is going great and we get along the best out of the District which is awesome because the spirit cannot reside if there is contention. Whether that it be in the car, apartment, or on the street. If the spirit is not there, we are not to teach. The spirit is there and we have a great time working for the Lord.

He's Still Adam

I just love this boy! He may be Elder Wardle and he may be growing spiritually by leaps and bounds but he is still Adam and he is still a boy. Here is part of a letter that I just loved even though I did roll my eyes a bit!

"Exchange day with Elder Rogers was awesome! We see each other a lot anyway being in the same ward but we have a ton of fun with the whole day together! We taught a Less-Active, looked for some other people but no luck. When we exchanged back, we cleaned some because we are moving to a new apartment. We started by taking an axe to a chair and table so it could fit in the dumpster and ended up mixing cleaning chemicals for a nice boom! of white stuff in the dumpster. Haha, it's still me out here."

Easter Message and Testimony from Adam

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I know my Savior Jesus Christ has Risen and lives and guides us in our lives today. We need to take the time each day to remember what he has done for us. Not just Easter/Christmas, not just Sunday, but every day of the week. I have come to love him so much out here all from reading and praying, the simple primary answers.

Zibetti

The day after they got their greenies, they had a training meeting. Adam said, "Wednesday was an awesome day! Our training meeting at 9:30 went well. I walked in and there was Trevor! I mean Elder Zibetti, I'll have a hard time with that one. It was so nice to see Trevor. I'm glad he is out here. He is out of the zone but we should see each other now and then." For those who don't know, Trevor is Adam's friend from our ward in Provo and they also played baseball together. When we first moved to Provo, Trevor was one of his first friends. It is so much fun for him to have Elder Zibetti in his mission.

Training!!!

Ok, so I am wayyyyy behind and Adam is going to be mad at me so I'd better get going. Summer was way too crazy without any spare time. So, here goes. Adam stayed district leader and became a trainer on March 12, 2013. He was so excited for the opportunity to train. His area was split due to the new missionaries coming. He was excited about it because his MTC companion who he loved was coming with his greenie to share the area. He really was happy about being able to work with Elder Rogers again. Adam's greenie, Elder Josie, is from Panguitch, Utah. He was in the National Guard before his mission and came ready to work. Adam was happy to have someone who really wanted to work hard. All of Elder Josie's "firsts" were fun for Adam. On the first day he took him out to knock doors. He said, "He (Elder Josie) is very humble and eager to do the work. We stopped a man in the park on the way back to the car and Elder Josie was able to hand out his 1st Book of Mormon!"
