Guess who is driving on the Road. THIS GUY! Yes I can drive a manual
now and I have been on the road for a week now. I have to take the
theory and practical test for my British Drivers liscense but that's
okay it shouldn't be too difficult. Its a 45 driving test and I have
to perform a maneuver (3 point turn, parallel park, or turn in the
road) as well as follow all rules as perfectly as possible. I have to
get it done before August. Wish me luck (I'll need some prayers) There
is only one week left in this transfer (wow it went by quick) I will
be staying in Bury at least 85 percent sure. Elder Mahendrin will be
moving I'm sure. I might be district leader or train or both. I hope
not both, that's a lot of first time responsibility on my shoulders.
Well whatever stretches you makes you stronger. So I have a spiritual
story for you this week. For the past 2 weeks me and Elder Mahendrin
have run into this Napalese lady and just said hello to her as we
passed. It became quite funny actually. Today we walked into the
library and saw her and she asked us to stay while she finished her
phonecall. We started to talk just casually and then she started
telling us about a problem she has been having with her Auntie who is
very old and ill. I asked her if she knew why we walked around in
white shirts ties and namebadges all the time. She had no clue. I
explained how we help people to have hope and have a good outlook on
life through the Gospel. She agreed to meet with us tomorrow so we
could share more with her. It was great because I have begun to
understand "teaching people not lessons" on a whole new level. How
sharing the gospel to somebody in a way that is pertinent (I think
thats the right word) to them. I know that what I am doing is changing
lives and has a lasting good effect on people that I meet. I love
being out here and I am now getting into the swing of things in the
mission. Good thing I have a year left to learn. I have had a couple
of new doors open for me and learning. I hope the learning
opportunities continue to appear and help me to grow. I love you all
so much and I want you all to know that I am doing great here. Nothing
would make me happier.
Love
Elder Wilson
