Week 38 - May 11, 2016

Hey there!

Today is my Pday.  I actually just got home from the Washington DC Temple.
I was so happy I was able to talk to my family this week.  It was so
great seeing them.  I love them to bits and pieces!  Talk again in 8
months :-))  HAPPY MOTHERS DAY AGAIN!

 (Elder Wilde was so happy to wish his mother a Happy Mothers' Day!)

from his two-year mission.)

So this week I got a new companion, my old companion went home to
Washington State.  My new companion... I can't say his name right and
it has been three days.  It's impossible to say.  He's from Hawaii.  Super
jacked short Hawaiian.  He's hilarious!   We have had a great time the
past few days.  His name is Elder Makuakane!  He's been out for almost
six months.

Anywho, it's been a super great week so far and it's going to continue
to be a great week.  I don't have all that much to report on
considering I just called home.

I'll share today's temple experience and send a few pics.
























Well, it was a rainy day unfortunately.  On the way there, I said a
little prayer for it to stop raining and within two minutes or so all
the rain was gone away, it was incredible!  The two ladies we took--Rosa
and Cece--absolutely loved the temple.  They did baptisms for their
family.  Rosa was crying so much during it; she felt the Spirit so much
and she was so happy that she was able to do this for her
grandparents.  It was beautiful to see her like that!  I'm so happy to
know that the truth of being able to do baptisms and other ordinances
for ancestors was restored to the earth allowing us to give us and
them the opportunity to be with eachother again someday!

 (Rosa's Text of Appreciation after the baptisms of her ancestors.)








Love you all.  Hope you have a wonderful week.  Sorry so short this
week, not too much to report on!
