Finally Moved Flats

We just got done Moving yesterday and we got everything packed and unpacked in 2 days. All the moving stuff was in one day and it was good but still quite a hassle. We had our little car that we took stuff in and we had two of the members who were gracious enough to bring their vans so that we could haul the big stuff over. Its so hard to move here in England, It's ridiculous how small everything is. We had to get a couch two tables 4 chairs and our dissassembled beds into these two vans along with all our boxes of dishes and books and pamphlets for proselyting. It was difficult and we had to give our couch to a goodwill service because it didn't fit up the stairs to our flat which I though was hilariously dumb because we now live in an attic. Literally a flat that is in the attic of a big house and all the walls and ceilings are slanted because of the roof hahahahaha how wierd. All our door frames are only about 6 feet tall and I feel like Im going to hit my head every time I walk through one. But it's cozy and gets the job done. I took some video that Im going to send you so you can see. I hope that you can get it on the blog to show everyone because its quite informative. One of our recent converts in the ward came and helped us and saw that are fridge is smaller than the counter and he called it a "Magui Fridge" I think thats how you spell it, hahah Magui as in Gizmo and his friends the Gremlins hahahahaha Freakin funny.

The Bathroom is the same way its built all funny and small. I will try and get that stuff to you on monday and either email it or send you the memory card for it.

It is quite fun here in England and now we are closer to the town centre we can go finding much more and not have to drive there like we use to.

I am trying to write letters to you guys and It takes a long time and I try and do it in the evening so for Luis and the Call Family and Jennifer and Bryce and the rest of the gang look out for letters and if I don't have your address Email it to me so I can write to you ( I have everybody's that I listed). Things are going really good here in England and I have a great Rejection of the week: This one is more of just a comment that I got today, It was raining and I stopped a guy and asked him if he could change one thing in the world what would it be, he laughed and said the weather. He knew what I was looking for but he didn't really want to know. And I am quite glad that he found a clever way to get out of talking to me. I give anyone props for being clever and let them be on their way hahaha.

But I have to go know becaue time is almost up on the computer and I hope that you guys are doing well and I love you all very much and love your emails and letters. Its the only thing that I want here in England besides more investigators hahahaha.

Love you all so much and here is my New address until the end of October (Maybe longer)

Flat 5, Albion House

30 London Road

Sittingbourne, Kent

ME10 1NA (UK)

Love you all!

New Transfers

Hey Misty

It is a real comfort to hear how Grandpas funeral went. It really helps me to know that it was a good one. I wanted to play taps for him but it sounded like it was good. Maybe when I get home I will play taps for him. I am thankful for you Sis you are such a great sister and I know that I am the way that I am because of you and josie and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have spoken with people and told them about grandpa and I know that they feel there is something special about this church and I know they feel the spirit. But I just want you to know that grandpa is now being taugh by the missionaries and that I want to plan a day so when I get home I do a full temple day for grandpa and do his work. I want to do it within the 3 days of being home in two years because I know that it will mean alot to him. Tell Cooper that he's (wierd hand motions)......Different hahahahaha

We quote Nacho all the time and one of the funny sayings one of the other elders in the area next to us says is " It totally sucks to be me right now" hahaha I love that movie. Anyways

This week is the first week of the new transfers YAAAYY!!!! Turns out that I am staying here in sittingbourne BUT!!! We will be moving Flats so that we are closer to town I will get you guys my new address around next week when we move. hopefully monday. Me and Elder Giusti are staying in this area and I know that there is a great work to be done here and it is going to be very very hard work. Its sort of like doing missionary work in kingston where all the good ol boys are. Theres alot of areas in our area that are a little crazy looking. I was on a workover with the Assistant to the President Elder Scruggs and we got to a door and looked inside and it was totally trashed and he looked at me and said "we are SO going to get let into this one" because those are the people who let us in and guess what hahahahaha we totally did. It was hilarious I could not stop laughing, we had a blast tracting and we are going to start making up," you know you've been a missionary too long if......" The best one so far is " You know you've been a missionary too long if whenever you say your name you point at your nametag." I've already done that on P-day and said I'm Elder Wilson and pointed at my nonexistant nametag hahahha it was great. But overall this past week has been pretty good. Today has been especially awesome because last night me and Elder Giusti planned and we do a thing called Celestial planning everynight where we specifically ask Heavenly Father who we are going to find tomorrow and then write down the impressions that come to our mind. So We did that last night and today I stopped to women and began to speak to them, at first they were trying to escape and just not deal with me which is understandable I mean who wouldn't do that. BUT I asked specific inspired questions to get them to talk about life and happiness and the purpose of life. Now my goal at this time is to have them sit on a bench with me for 5 minutes while I teach them a principle, bear testimony, say a prayer with them and then try to schedule another appointment. SO I asked them if they knew the purpose of this life and they said there's gotta be one but they don't know so I said do you want to find out and they said yes. Boo yah I now can sit down and teach them, so I taught them about this life and what happens when we die and they understood it and believed it. By this time Elder Giusti found me and joined in on the conversation and we had asked them their names, Emma and Jane, and Elder Giusti looked at me and I at him and he pulled out his planner and Lo and behold one of the people we planned about the night before was Jane, We knew her name and her haircolor and it was written in our planner. We showed them and they were amazed. I was so amazed because this was my first experience with it and I know that heavenly father showed us the way. This is so amazing I know that celestial planning works and I know that we will always find those that heavenly father has prepared. We see Emma and Jane again on Friday and I am very excited.

So the MTC is going to get the Three Musketteers eh. Luis, Aaron, and Calvin. THIS is going to be sick!!!!!!!! If any of you Get a Brother Coffman or Brother Mcquay tell them Elder Wilson says hi from London. Hahahahaha Don't drink the orange juice unless you want to clean yourself out because that's what it does. HAHAHA

I am so happy for you guys, California is going to get a crazy Awesome missionary and I am sending you a letter later this week luis and I am going to fill it choc full of some of the amazing scriptures that I have found on missionary work and I will send you a list of talks and books to read that will change your mission they are amazing. Make sure to share the list and scriptures with Aaron and Calvin. Aaron you get the same weather as me hahahahaha sweet, it is so nice here right now it just stays at 65 all day long I love it.

I will let you know my address next week and I would love someone to bits if they sent me a bag of Jolly Ranchers. I love and miss them and I know that the Kids in Church will love some if they stay quiet in sacrament meeting hahahahaha.

Pictures are coming soon I will be sending 1 card maybe two because Im filling them up fast. I might send them via email though cause I figured out how to do that and I might just do it.

Rejection of the week: hahaha so I stopped a polish guy and before I even said anything besides excuse me sir how are you he cowarded in fear saying "sorry, no, sorry no interested, nooooooooo" and swiftly sort of ran away. Me and Elder Giusti tried to say its okay and have a nice day but he just ran and afterwards we laughed pretty hard about it. He REALLY didn't want to know what we were talking about.

Well Remember who you all are and what you stand for. Don't let life get you down because we are truly blessed with the best lives. I love you all and I want you to know that this never is easy, But it really truly is worth it.

With lots of Love

Hello Everybody!!

It is so good to hear from all of you guys and I am thankful for all of your emails and letters.

This is the last week I will probably be where I am at in Kent but we shall see what happens. This week was full of work overs and I got to go to some different places in Kent which was awesome and I got to learn a lot about the other areas in the zone. Tonight the Assistant to the president companionship is going to do a work over with us here in sittingbourne so I get to work with the big dogs who are finishing up their missions. So Exciting! And last friday we did a BLITZ which basically means that other missionaries come to our area to do some finding. It was sweet we had 4 sets of missionaries (8 elders) In our town centre contacting people and finding new investigators. On average we find about 1 to 3 new investigators a week and this week we found.......9 new Investigators! AAHAHAHA! SWEET! So we are going to visit all of them this week which is going to be so cool. Im sending my card to you and then I might have to email some pictures as well because I filled up my little card and I started filling up my bigger one. So you will see some stuff soon. Elder Giusti cut my hair for me and I haven't had it this short since Misty and Josie use to cut my hair hahaha so you'll see that as well.

AARON!!!!! HAHAHHAA SO AWESOME THAT YOU ARE GOING TO OREGON!!!! Tell me how did you feel when you read the words didn't it feel exactly like it was meant to be, like you knew it all along. And I hope that you guys keep me posted on everything and LUIS YOU MUST LET ME KNOW WHAT'S UP MY FRIEND! I hope you all are doing well and I can't wait to read your guys' letters and emails its my highlight when I hear how you are doing. If you want to send me something in-between transfer time or you are not sure about if I will get it in time you can always send it to the mission home address which is 

England London Mission

64-68 Princes Gate

Exhibition Road

London

SW7 2PA
The only problem is I won't receive it unless I go to London or my District Leader does. But next monday I will know for sure if I stay or go and It will be the end of the transfer wednesday after next so you will have my address fairly soon.

Mom I will try and Email you later because I don't have time today, we have an emergency transfer of our District leader so we are all meeting up in 30 minutes so just to let you guys know I love you dearly and I will try to email a letter tomorrow, I sent you a letter for Grandpa I tried to write big so he could read it. Tell him he is my inspiration in music and I have the gift only because of him and that I love him very very much. I pray for him every night and I know that religion is touchy with him but let him know that I did this not because I was asked to or because I had to or because it was expected of me but its because this has helped me know what this life is and what is to come and that we are never alone in either life we have our family friends and our Saviour and Father in Heaven I love you all so much and I want you to know I am doing so much and I have become a very different person in just 2 months.

I love you all and I am so happy to be here.

Elder WIlson

P.S. Josie and anyone else

I need Peanut butter (of course) 

Jolly Ranchers or candy in general that is very american 

gatorade powder (Frost Blue, Lemon Lime Green)

and Mother dearest and Rick ol buddy ol pal could you get me some MIlitary issue Pocket Scriptures Like you had (the burgundy coloured small set) I would like the whole set (BOM D+C OT NT) Because my study scriptures are quite heavy and I want to keep them in the Flat and take care of them and have the other set to put in my bag when I'm out. I really would appreciate that and you can either send them to the mission home before wednesday (which isn't necessary and don't rush for these things I don't need them that badly) or wait till I get the other address which you will be able to send in 2 weeks time.

and anything that you think I would need.

These packages mean so much to me just the stuff from the pantry made me so freaking happy 

the propel fitness water is the best and I love the small packets. I made a PB and J for elder Giusti whose never had one and he is now addicted HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so funny.

Okay thats a big P.S. I love you all with all my heart you truly are amazing.

If you can get a hold of "Teachings of the Presidents of the Church, Joseph Smith" Read it!!!

Its the simple things of the gospel with such deep meaning and understanding it blows my mind.

I really wanted to say "AAAHHH let me help you see watch if you stop moving your legs you will stop" HAhahaha I love people!!!
