Legas, Wyatt

Last week I talked about how I learned how to be bold.. I got to put it to use this week when we were tracting.  A little background on the area I'm in. The Bishop of this ward flat out told us, "You wont be able to get any work done in this ward.. We've tried and the people are too stubborn." That made me upset so Elder Boyack and I have a fire under us to prove him wrong. The Bishop told us about the most "hard-hearted" street and told us that maybe the visitors that went before us were too nice and soft. I told Boyack we're gonna have to be bold.  This street is heavily under construction right now and so all households are very grouchy to start with.  Here's one experience: *we walk up to a house that was hardly visible from the street because of all the trees/bushes *Elder Boyack knocks and a short, greasy, chubby not clean gamer guy answers Elder Boyack: "Hey how are you" Gamer: "..." *slams door *me not liking that knocks o...

Said lots of goodbyes to Ririe this week. I'll miss the awesome members and the families there. My last day wasn't what I thought it would be like. I thought that we would go make our rounds with all the families that I loved and "hangout" with them until we had to be home. NO SIR we worked til the buzzer!  The things I learned that last day I'll never forget. Because I knew I was leaving I could be as bold as I wanted. I could flat out say "why don't you believe, how come you're not coming to church, why aren't you setting a better example?" stuff that I would never before say. (because I was scared they'd get mad.)  When I did ask these questions not one person got mad or slammed doors on us, they gave us honest answers and I know it made them want to change. I have been way more bold since then.  I'm happy I didn't just go hangout at members homes. BUT NOW IM IN LINCOLN and its the greatest thing ever. Whats even greater is my ...

Dear President WOW (I could use that word to summarize the week but I wont) I thought life would be stressful as heck coming into Lincoln but I'm surrounded by THE BEST missionaries around.  1st off, Elder Boyack just wants to work! He gets up on time, gets ready fast and is chompin at the bit to get out and grind. I'm trying to help him understand that studies are very very important to our lives as missionaries. Thats the only real concern I have for him, that he might not take studies as seriously as he should. I feel like our comp inventory went very very well. I was scared as heck going into it but the Spirit was so strong there. 100% it wasn't me talking/ counseling him. I surprised myself with things that I was saying.. The closest thing I could compare it to was like giving a blessing. At the end there were tears and I couldn't remember what I said. In short I'm very grateful for the Spirit. The rest of the District is amazing.  Elder Romero and Ramirez are ...

hey yall!  So this week I got a call from the mission President and this is how it basically went: "Elder Legas, I'd like to talk to you in private, let me know when you're alone." "Okay I'm alone" "Okay well Elder Legas, I'd like to extend the invitation to you to be a trainer. Are you willing and worthy to do fulfill this calling to the best of your abilities?" "Yes sir" "Great I want you to work hard and be obedient and be the greatest trainer out there. I believe in you. Do you have any questions?" "No sir, Not right off the top of my he-" "Okay great, I really love you Elder Legas. I trust you. Goodbye" "Um okay bye President, I love you t-" *click* that call was super rushed and I was confused as to why..  But then another call came in a few days later: "Elder Legas, I'd like to talk to you in private, let me know when you're alone." "Okay I'm alone" ...

So I cut all my hair off, I did it for 3 reasons. 1. Elder Darling serving in Colorado inspired me. 2. Elder Garrow kept calling me a male model and it was bugging me. and 3. I realized I was caring about how I looked more than I cared about the work I was doing.        If I got rid of it all completely I would get rid of 3 problems! BAM! Elder Cano cut it for me, he was super happy he got to. Whats funny is he says I look like im 12 again. (He knew me back in the day where all I had was a buzz) I do look younger but I'm okay with it.  This week I got to do a lot of thinking and pondering.. we got to give talks and I got to give a training in District Counsil. Here's some of my thoughts from studying for both:  I wanted to be able to influence others but didn't know exactly how to put it into words..  I then remembered a cool story from back in my football days.  Moving to Alabama was a shock religiously but I think it was equally a shock to my sp...
