August 13th

Hey Everyone
Training is a very different challenge but this first week has been pretty good so far. We have done a little bit of everything except teach our super solid investigators because for some reason everyone got sick. Bummer. But It will be fun to teach with him this up and coming week. I keep getting flashbacks of last year when I first started out. Man I was a terrible missionary and I was super scared of Finding my first 3 weeks. Now It's an everyday occurance and I just go out and work. I know what to do and I now enjoy doing it. I kinda know what I am doing now and I know how to have success. It's great but now I need to work on helping Elder Jensen Learn and grow and set him up for the rest of his mission. I haven't been too familiar with training and I realize sometimes that he doesn't know certain things that I have taken for granted with other companions like certain phrases refering to the lessons or finding or whatever it may be. But he is doing well and he is getting more comfortable with the work. A great thing that happened to us this past week was we met a lady that I had offer to help her carry her bags last week but she declined nicely. This week she spoke to us and we shared a short message with her on a bench. She felt the spirit and felt so good and she wants to meet with us again. We will see her tomorrow and teach her more about the gospel. It has been super amazing here in Bury. The worst was on Wednesday because we have been teaching this really intelligent lady but she's been a bit sceptical and she never gave us her phone number. We set the appt. But we couldn't get back from london in time from picking up Elder Jensen. Now we just pray that we will find her again. She was a great lady who was looking for the truth. Three Things that amaze me. (1) It hasn't rained in 5 days (2) Squirrels in the park climb up your leg and steal your lunch (3) How many religious people I have met in the past few days. In England it is absolutely unheard of. Haven't spoken to an atheist in a long time. I miss their grim and pessimistic look. These religious people are too happy. ;)
Love
Elder Wilson
