Hello Everyone
This past week has been such a strange week. At first we had P-day, then we had Zone Conference which was such an awesome experience. I learned so much and it basically summed up what I have learned this past transfer about finding people. They talked alot about the spirit and following the promptings that it gives us. I have really needed to work on listening and acting on certaing promptings. I also learned about having the right attitude about finding. Which isn't always easy, finding is one of the hardest things you do on your mission. And this mission is 60% finding. Our goal is to have 20 lessons a week and 20 hours of finding whether it be by tracting or Street finding or bus finding. We try and talk to everyone which is fun sometimes but alot of the time it can be difficult if not annoying. This past week I was given a Qur'ran by one of our potential investigators. (We traded books) And one of our members showed us some crazy scriptures in the book. It talks about Abraham and his father (POGP) and a few other things mainstream christianity didn't have. It shows us that mohammed was an inspired man for his time and that he knew a lot. It is really great to talk to other religions, most of the people in Ilford are from the middle east and most of our investigators are either Pakistani, Indian or African. It is so much fun to meet so many different kinds of people. They are so wonderful and are such funny people as well. Me and E. Murri have a good friend that we call KaKa (His last name is Kakakaehl) he is a recent convert from pakistan and he is here in the country for schooling. He doesn't have any cloths for church that he can wear so E. Murri gave him an extra pair of trousers and I called up G2 for the old Suit coat that I remember being in there and have them bring it to zone conference. We gave them to kaka along with an extra white shirt and tie and he came to church looking quite dapper. I was so happy to have some nice cloths now. It is very hard for alot of these people to buy anything, jobs are very few and far between here in England. It is very very tough to get an income so alot of people are struggling. It's so nice to help people where you can and to be their friend and they can be apart of a ward family. I really want to hear from you all very soon and I hope that you are all enjoying your springtime and that you are doing well.
Love
Elder Wilson
