This week is the week of Moves once again! And it turns out that I am STAYING! Hurray! Elder Giusti is leaving for huntington which is next to Cambridge and I get Elder Strombom! He's Swedish and I get to meet him tomorrow which is quite exciting. Everyone who knows him tells me I am a lucky guy so thats a good thing. Not a whole lot is going on here in Sittingbourne. This last week me and Elder Hinckley had a workover and we fasted for 24 hours and did nothing but finding all day long. And it was quite a tiring experience which was still quite good because we have 5 new investigators and it really means that we did reap the rewards of our longsuffering and empty stomaches. HAHA then we went to the Browns house for dinner and we feasted!! Jake Brown is an RM and he got back from Canada Halifax mission 22 months ago and he has this mexican hot sauce he buys in london and its called ULTRA DEATH hot sauce. Me and Elder Hinckley put some on our plate and we both took one bite of enchiladas with this stuff and we looked at eachother like OH CRAP! hahahaha this stuff was basically every pepper known to man stuffed into one and is about 900 times hotter than a jalepenos pepper. We were sweating bullets trying to cope with it but it just wasn't happening we ended up with some bread and milk trying to wash it down. And Brother and Sister Brown were just laughing the whole time. It was quite a fun time. Then Last night we went to a part-member family and had pizza and monopoly which was really exciting. Rob and Layla were married and Rob isn't a member but we had a blast. Rob is a big time businessman and a deal maker so once all the property was up it was all about deals and he was all over the place. The only property he had were the railroads which is only four spaces on the board but he had the most money because of strategically becoming a third party dealer in every other deal. He would fork over some extra cash to support somebody in buying a property from someone else then expect half the cash back in a set amount of turns and he would not have to pay as he crossed those spaces that were purchased. He had a strategic viewpoint of the whole board and what someone should buy and what they shouldn't make a deal on. He would Sell his advice HAHAHA talk about smart. We had a blast and really created a great relationship with him which was really good as far as talking to him about the gospel. Sometimes you need to take an approach that shows how much you care about that person. I can't remember who said it but Luis wrote it to me "People don't care about how much you know, until they know how much you care". In my mission I really have learned how to be a person that people know cares about them and wants to be their best friend despite anything they are struggling with. And I know that that is extremely important in life to show everyone you care about them and that you want to do anything you can to help them. I really truly want you all to know that even if someone isn't to keen on you if you show that you care about them and love them and bless them they will sometimes completley change their outlook on you as a person and you will both become closer friends and gain eachothers trust. I want you all to know I love you and I am so happy out here. Aaron, Luis, and Calvin, It may be scary the first 2 or 3 days but remember that when you get that first person you are teaching and you create a relationship built on trust and love you will see amazing things happen. The spirit testifies in an environment of love and truth not on lies and contention. When you love the people you will talk to the people.
Love you all so much

Hi misty hahahah I love it. Cooper is such a character. I hope that the kids aren't giving you too much trouble. I hope that you guys are doing good over there in the heat. Its cold here it gets down to 40 in the morning already, I'm freezing.
I got a good coat and one of those rubber water containers you put in your bed to sleep with MMMMMMMM SO COZY AND WARM! We washed our car in the freezing cold weather this morning and then we cleaned up the flat and I did the dishes and took out the trash. It's funny to see a couple of 20 year olds doing chores and vacuuming and stuff. Not because its unnatural but because we do it very very differently from girls. Like ironing for example if you look at the picture I sent you you will see that we iron with a PB and J sandwich next to us. Or when we vacuum and come to a ledge on the stairs we just pick up the vacuum with one hand and stamp it a little on the stair and call it good. HMM maybe I should do a better job, its hard when the stairs are so small and miniature. hahaha But what can you do. Hopefully you got my letter with my memory card in it with pictures and videos from these past two transfers. Just hold onto it because I might be leaving on the wednesday after next. In my next email I will let you know where I am going or if I am staying The last day I can get a package is tuesday the 25 so be wary if you send something ill have to get it from the missionaries who stay here and it might take a while.
But I am so happy this week. I RECIEVED THREE PACKAGES. OH MY DAYS THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! Mom thank you so much for all the stuff you sent me It really helps out and I have peanut butter yaaay as well as some pocket scriptures and other amazing goodies!!!! and CALL FAMILY AND JENNIFER YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
The cookies are still brand new fresh and the album with photos was hilarious and I cant wait to make some chocolate chip cookies tonight mmmmmmmm:) I loved the letters and the pictures and the video of tyler. You guys are doing much better than we ever did in high school which is fantastic. I hope the loud trumpet player was you tyler but I'm a tad sceptical on that note. Was it Preston or someone else? Nonetheless you guys did really good and Bryce is rockin the snare ( even though you could fit inside it) hahahaha just kidding bud.This week has been amazing and I want you all to read a great few verses about the stripling warriors. ALMA 56:42-47 i do believe then Read D&C 6:36 and always remember that Heavenly father is always there to take care of us. Doubt not Fear not.
I love you all so much and I love the packages and Letters they are what keep my spirits up and my enthusiasm.
I love you all

Monday October 3rd
HEY! How are you all doing.
I am doing pretty good over here in the UK we're just spending time over here in Canterbury on P-day and it has been a pretty good day. Just hanging out with Elder Campbell while my comp is in District Leader Conference and we've just been chill in which is always fun. He's actually from Oregon so when Aaron is a year out in his mission Elder Campbell will be home and I told him to hunt aaron down and give him a hard time for me. :) This week has been pretty good and we have just been gearing up for conference which has been quite fun and we got to watch it on saturday and sunday. Which is crazy strange because the times are so different. The morning sessions are at 5pm to 7pm and the next sessions are at 9pm to 11pm and priesthood session was at 10 n=in the morning. It was quite strange but it was still a great experience especially for our less active members and our investigator Tony. He's been doing quite well and will be baptised soon but we don't know if it will be this week or next week. We will have to see how he is doing with everything. It has been rather hot here in Kent and it has been around 26 Celcius 84 F? but It should be cooling down quite soon. It has been a great day today and this past week or so.
Congratulations Josie and Trevor on the new addition to your family I can't wait to see a picture of her. Little Kinnley Rae sounds precious I love it. This week I am sending letters out as many as I can today I'm Sending ones to Luis Aaron Grandma and I will try to send to the rest of the family and my cards to you Misty with pictures. We took a few videos as well I hope those work on the blog. You can see our new flat and our life a little bit. I hope to hear from everybody soon I hope to get a package or letter this week. Ive got my fingers crossed. I always look forward to hearing from you guys because I love you all so much. Please keep me posted and let everyone else know that they should send me some post so I can get more addresses and send it out to everybody. Luis and Aaron and jennifer you should give people a little guilt trip for me ;) and I just received the Davis' letters and picture. Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate it and I am so happy to hear how things are going. Don't give up Dallin just keep trying next year will be much better and more challenging always remember to talk to Mr. Juaros for help he is a really good Trumpet player and don't get discouraged you are really good and hard work will give you the results that you want. Well I must go, thank you all for all that you do, Josie make sure you rest and don't worry about anything . I am trying to get a picture with one of these steam engines for carson because they are identical to Thomas and his friends and I can't stop thinking about it hahahaha. I even whistle the song. Well I love you all and keep me in the loop. Sorry I'm in the apple store and short on time I have to go. I love you guys.
Love
Elder Wilson
