Yaay a package thank you so much I haven't got it just yet but it should be here soon. I have put in my little photo album pictures of Cooper and Riley along with Coopers awesome letter and your hilarious iphone IM hahahaha Nice. I also got the lovely pictures of my new little Niece Kinnley. SHE IS SO ADORABLE its too bad I don't get to see her until she's nearly 2. She is so precious I have all the pictures in my album and I show all the members when we visit. I love showing you guys to everybody. I have been doing very well this week. We had Zone Conference yesterday. Zone Conference is when all the missionaries in a few zones usually 2 or 3 get together in a chapel somewhere in London and have a big 5 hour meeting. Which is a lot of fun because we get to hear from our Mission President and he teaches us and directs us for the first bit. We were really really lucky this time though because we had the Area President Elde Wright whose from Ilford in London. He came in and spoke to us and gave us very inspired advice. It is just like general conference for us missionaries. We learn things and more specifically we learn exactly what we needed to learn just like in conference when you feel like the prophet and apostles is speaking to you you feel the same way in Zone Conference. Then afterwards we have lunch and talk to all the missionaries we haven't seen in a while and then we breakout into zones and the zone leaders give tranings in specific subjects like finding, introducing the book of mormon, and teaching people not lessons. We then roleplay and learn and understand the principles and then return for closing remarks from our leaders and Mission President and Elder Wright and then this time was great because Elder Wright then came down off the stand stood in front of us and let us ask any questions we need. Which was great for us to do to understand a little more about the things we are working on. It is such an uplifting experience and we truly feel invigorated when we come back to our areas and begin to work. Speaking of coming back to our areas we drove back from London and we had to (obviously) Drive through london. Worst experience of my life. I have never been more stressed our trying to read the streets without any street signs and I had to get us to the M25 motorway which was awful. All four of us were sick of it by the end and we just wanted to sleep. It is 30 miles into London and it takes 2 hours to get to where you want to go. To get a good perspective it is a 35 mile drive to ASU Tempe From Queen Creek and I made that in 45 sometimes 30 minutes if I was lucky. Sheesh This place is insane when it comes to traffic. Remember that America is such an easy place to drive and when you go into phoenix and you complan or when you're on the 60 at 8 in the morning do not complain, I drove to London in a 4 door sedan at 9 in the morning straight through the smallest crossing of the River Thames and we sat still for literally 45 minutes. There were no wrecks just a BILLION people. No wonder the English are called cold hearted they gotta do that everyday. I would be cold hearted too if I had to do that every day. But the City Was amazing. One of the most beautiful places I have been. We took a toll bridge home at night and It Crossed the River and Overlooked the city. Was an amazing site. It makes this job all worthwhile.

Remember what is important and always look for the beauty in everything. The Glass is Half Full not half empty.

I love you all so much and I miss you guys.

Elder Wilson
