Pitching the Gospel in Mexico: I Love to See the Temple

What's up everyone!

Sorry I didn't email last week it has been busy as crap! So I got transferred to the Temple View zone. It's called that because I bike by the temple every single day and it is beautiful! I cover the Stratland and Maplewood wards and the members are amazing! My companion is Elder Packham and he's from Tooele. He came in the same day as Elder Walls so he's still fairly new!

I am really liking the area. There is lots of work to be done and the people are amazing! We are teaching a dude from Mexico and he came to church and bore his testimony. He calls the Book of Mormon "The Book" and in his testimony he said, "The Book gives me power and its true". Talk about the spirit I felt from that! He isn't on date for baptism so you already know what I'm about to do tonight!

It was sad leaving my other area because of the relationships I built over there! I'm happy I have Facebook so I can stay on contact with all of them!

I wanna end with how grateful I am for this Christmas season. The devotional by the first presidency yesterday was amazing and I loved it! The church is so true!

Love you all

Elder Wilde

We also received this email from the Mission President today, so I am including it in this email.
