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
Elder Wilson
