Big W,
Cotton Top Contemplates.. the mission so far...

Hey everyone in the Wilson clan! How are you all doing? I am doing awesome! the ctm is an interesting place but way fun! first off.. the showers are normal and all the water in ctm, along with temples are drinkable. and I can flush the toilet paper:) the pizza is anything but pizza! and I have beans and rice everyday of the week:) the Portuguese is coming. so far I have been proselyting 2 times and I go again Friday. have had to teach the first 2 lessons in Portuguese and I have to teach the third one on Saturday. It́s always interesting to teach in portugues. cause I can only say so much but it́s fun when they ask a question and I am able to answer it! so more or less the language is coming! today is my pday and I didńt go to the temple today cause all the missionaries here get one pday when they dońt go and mine was today. so today will probabaly be the one day out of my mission where I have to find things to do. It́s great though! I love staying busy and working hard! I have two weeks left here in the ctm. I cańt believe I have been gone from home for so long and yet I am sad because thats over a month of my mission gone and all I have done is sat in a class and learn. but it́s necessary so I guess it́s all good.:) so far, I have had the pleasure of attempting to sew cause I had a whole in the crouch of my pants and now one of the hems on my pants leg fell so that will be another experience:) it́s fun though! I love this gospel!!! I cańt wait to get in the field and get to work! Eu sei que o evangelho de jesus cristo e verdadeiro! Eu sei que o livro de mormon e verdadeiro! Hope everyone is doing good! oh, and brasil has the best cinnamon rolls in the World!!!
Love,
Elder Wilson
