Hello Everyone
We have gotten into the full swing of things here in Ilford. Its a busy busy area. We go all day long non stop and until night time. I am so tired and exhausted all the time. But it's better than being discouraged. The area is great and teaching and finding are enjoyable. Sometimes we get some crazies out here but you learn to spot them before you stop them. We have had a great time me and Elder Murri, we are just working hard and trying to do our best. We have alot of interesting investigators, we are in east London which is the poor district. There are alot of Arabic people. The call ilford, Little Pakistan, They are very nice people and some are open to the gospel and learning. Some are Islamic and they're nice too. Sometimes you get the bashy or slightly hostile ones but they aren't a problem we just agree with them and say see ya. We are enjoying ourselves. I've discovered something so delicious it can only come from the gods. Instant mashed potatoes and Canned Chili. Soo good. We had it for lunch yesterday and we get a good fill from such a delicious delicacy. I will try and write you guys letters I am sorry I haven't yet. We have been extremely busy. I will try and write and send you letters today on P-day. This place is great and work is abundant. Love you all

Hey Misty
We have had quite an adventure this week.
Me and Elder Affleck were on a workover in Gillingham II last week and we were on our way back to his area to meet up again with our
companions and he gets a call while we are on the Train. Its his companion E. Doyle. E. Doyle has been depressed for a long time and has done no missionary work in the past couple months. President still wants to keep him out here because he doesn't want to send him home. He
doesn't want missionaries to go home and be miserable and regret the rest of their life so he tries everything he can to keep them out. So we get a call from E. Doyle and he says "I'm leaving". Its about 9 at night when he calls. Since he lives in Lester England he can just train home. So he trains home and never came back. We called president and everything and I've been in a trio for this week and we control 2 areas. Its been quite fun and we have got alot of work started in Gravesend which is E. Afflecks area. So we've been busy busy.
I am now finally leaving my first area. I thought I would go back in November but I have stayed for 6 months and it has been great. I am now heading to Ilford which is in Essex (East of London) and it is going to be so great. I don't have the address just yet but I go there tomorrow and then I will email it to you on monday next week. I am so excited especially cause I can now have a P-Day in London which is going to be super fun. I will keep you posted on everything that goes on here in England and I am so excited to go to a new area tomorrow.
Well I must be off and finish packing and saying goodbye to people.
I love you all

Happy New Year!
Hey guys,
It was so great to talk to all of you on Christmas day. It was so great to see you too, and how much you all have grown in just the past six months. Wow can you believe that it's been that long. I sure can't, out here when you are working hard and doing your best and going through your day to day. A week feels like a day. And a transfer (6 weeks) Feels like a week. I will most likely be moving January 18 to a new area, I have been here for 6 months and I am sure that president patch is going to move me. Which means that now the Greenie phase is over and the responsibility will increase as a missionary. I have to work super hard to be the best that I can be and I have set goals this year that I wish to achieve as a Person and a Missionary. This is so exciting to have a new year to be able to accomplish so much. I want to be able to say that this is a life changing year for me and I want to do all that I can in this short amount of time to work extremely hard and become better at literally everything. (Especially my hand writing) I hope that you are all doing well and I would love to hear from you guys frequently to see how you are doing. And Most importantly I want you to make a year plan. This year what are you going to be better at and what skills and abilities do you want to develope and improve? How are you going to accomplish these goals? Be specific in your plans and then pray each night for Heavenly Fathers help and remember to be specific. (Specific Prayers equal specific Blessings) Please do this for me and I know if you follow through with your plans you will see the blessings and abilities you begin to recieve and develop. I love you all and I wish you a happy new year.
Love
Elder WIlson
