Oi Família!!!!!
tudo bem? so this week was good. a little different but good all the same. so if you remember i was "killing" my comp, Elder Maxfield this transfer. his last week was rough, at least for me. because he was really trunky to go home and not really excited to work. but we baptized on saturday! (sorry no foto this week because i don't have my camera) the baptism was awesome! and we worked enough to get another baptism prepared for this week to.
so on monday morning my comp left for João Pessoa to meet up with his parents and i stayed with the zone leaders. and it just so happens that one of the zone leaders is going home to and he is even trunkier then my comp. but it was a good experience to work with them these past two days, although it sucked to because i never returned home and didn't get a chance to work in my area. but alls well.
so today is day of transfers. of course i stayed in my area, and my new comp is elder pereira, Brasileiro!!! finally, so i am excited! i am still waiting for him to get here, he is coming from the other state, Paraiba. I heard that he is a really good missionary and that we'll baptize alot so i am excited!! SO BATIZA!!!!! (just baptize:)
so i had an idea for you guys for a family night or something. in preach my gospel chp. 6 it talks about the attributes of Christ, and at the end of the chapter it has an activity, a evaluate yourself activity. but when i was in the ctm, with my district we did this, one elder would go through and talk about each elder and which attributes he had. it was really cool and really spiritual. (do you understand?) so it is an idea, look it over, also the chapter is really good to read.
so dad, first of all thanks for the thought. It is really interesting. because i have felt like that many times. thanks, it's pretty cool. question, why are alot of planes crashing. i just heard last night that another plane crashed. i think it was in japan or china. just curious.:) oh, and who is Miranda Walters? it's not the walters from tooele?
Chanae- 44 days!!! holy crap sis! thats freakin close!! so what day exactly will you get married? and another thing, your picture is very beautiful! I have a very very beautiful sister!!! :) i am very excited for you and Bryce!!!!!
Mom- thanks for all the e-mails!!! I loved them!!!! and yes, the inserts are awesome! and thanks for sending another package! you know it really isn't necessary:) i don't want you guys to feel obligated to send me packages (just letters a little bit:)).

Man, i havent played in forever! I'm going crazy!! i think i am going to buy a basketball just so i can bounce it around the house!
well family, I love you all so much!!! thanks for all the emails and the letters and everything you do for me!!!! you guys are the best family in the world!!!!!!!! Remember the Church is true!!!!! the book of mormon is the word of God!!!! and Jesus Cristo is our savior and redeemer!!! and only through him and his sacrifice can we return to live with him!!!!!

Oí tudo Mundo!
How is everyone? Are you enjoying your first day of spring break? thanks for all the e-mails! and i am glad to hear that michaels wallet arrived safely:) sorry, it is a little big:). I'm also glad to hear that we still have the boat:)
So today is exactly 6 months from the day that i left home! Crazy huh! i have a really ugly tie that i got from an investigator in my other area that i am going to burn tonight! so i will send pics of that next week!
Yesterday we baptized a young woman (she is 20yrs old) named Cintia. Her parents were really against her joining the church, so much that sunday morning she decided to not get baptized. but thankfully she decided to follow her feelings and get baptized! she has great faith, because that is a really hard decision! I am very grateful for her! it was a really cool meeting! other then that this week has been kinda normal, nothing real different happened. today has been kinda a crappy day, i'm not feeling to good. basically just a stomach ache, but it sucks.
Dad, yeah i really liked the scripts you sent me! they were really cool! I love finding all these principles in the book of mormon! its like moses says(or maybe its 2 nefi.. crap i cant remember... but you know the one) men are that they might have joy.. something to that extent. and when we are keeping the commandments God blesses us with the things that we need and want! so we can be happy! I love it! it really is cool! countless times 2nd nefi and alma say that if we keep the commandments we will prosper in the land! what a great promise! i love it!
so mom, i found out that they do have baking powder here, so i will check and see if they have baking soda. but thank you so much for the recipes! i'm exciting to make some caramel popcorn!
Dallin, congrats on your races! so you beat kendrek in one eh! thats pretty cool dude! keep up the good work buddy!
Mikey... Conserteza eu vou gostar de mesmo musíca quando eu voltar para casa! Conserteza!!! (of course i am going to like the same music when i return home! (basically this)) i get so annoyed sometimes because i have a hard time remembering all of my favorite songs. yellow card even! if you can beleive it! it drives me crazy! thats awesome about the music dude!
Chanae- so you got a job eh, whatcha doin? sellin stuff, sick! that's pretty exciting about the pics and all, so is dad putting in grass for the reception?:) good luck with everything!
Well everyone, i think thats about it for me. i don't know what else to write so..... I love you all!! I hope and pray everyday that God will bless you all with safety and with the things that you need! I know that Jesus Cristo is our Savior and Redeemer! he is the head of this church! And all we have to do is ask and he will tell us that it is true! The book of mormon is true! it is a great blessing that we have here on the earth! be sure and study it everyday! Like the profet Joseph said, we can become closer to God by this book then by any other book! I love you all!!! thanks for all of your love and support and for all you do for me!!!! I love you!!!!
Your son, bro and elder,
Elder Wilson
p.s. if you do send a package, could you put some batteries in it, because they are freakin expensive here! 5 reis for 2!($2.50 for 2) crappy!

Hey Everyone!!.......March 2, 2009
Oí Família,
Como vocês estão? I t sounds like everyone is doing good and i hope that that is true? So the weather is getting warmer huh, well here it is freakin hot! Generally the days aren’t to bad, except when it rains. Now don’t get me wrong, because I love the rain, but the thing that really sucks is after it rains and the sun comes out and it is so freakin humid! Man, you wouldn’t believe it!
So this week we baptized a woman named Salomé. She is way cool! Her first time in church she bore her testimony! And the baptismal meeting was so cool! The spirit was so strong! Wow, it was way cool! This week we have one baptism marked but I'm hoping we will have 3, possibly 4! So I am praying a lot this week that all will work out! The one that is marked is a man named Jefferson, and then we have a woman that is 20 yrs old and we just need to be a little more firm with her and we also have a primary boy that has been going to church a lot and his cousin is a member and she told us yesterday he wasn’t baptized, and we have the mom of the bishop. she is going to be a little harder but she has also had quite a few signs that this is the true church and so she just needs to make the decision now. So I really hope all will work out!
So yes, every Sunday I have 6 hrs of church:). But its no biggy. And with the money thing, I only took out 60 reis, and there was an 8 rei fee. I did this because I was out of money and all of the stores with atm’s to get the mission money were closed because of Carnaval. And with the exchange rate and the fee, that is probably why it came out to be something weird on the other end.
I also forgot, with the pics. I sent one of my lunch one day, a grilled cheese sandwich and it has the symbole of baptism on it in catchup, and there is another where the orcs from the lord of the rings are attacking me:) it was a poster at the fort we went to today. Oh yeah, we went to a fort here in Natal for our pday. It was pretty cool. Got to walk next to the beach and look at the ocean! It was really cool!
So that is really sad about Larry H. Miller. That was this week? So who is the owner of the jazz? That is Awesome that they are doing good! Are they as good as last year? Or better?
And thanks for the pics!!! Hahaha!!! They were awesome! Especially when everyone was crying over the boat! And dallin, your marathon pics were pretty cool dude! Just one thing, :) you need a haircut!:) hear that mom:), A Senhora (you, mom:)) precisa cortar a cabela dele! But the pics were cool! And mike and dall, Parabéns on your song and the battles of the bands!!!! Dude, you guys rock!! Sick!! (is that word really back in fashion again?) Congrats bros!!! and mikey, I remember meeting Elder Palmer in the ctm, so that’s pretty cool!
So chanae and bryce, how is the wedding coming? Is everything working out? I hope so! And do you have a job yet chanae, I am praying that you ( and mikey) will be able to find one!
So I haven’t received the package yet but I probably will tomorrow, or the next Tuesday, it all depends on when the zl’s go to João pessoa. And mikey, let me know when you get the package okay, I hope you like it, but if you don’t then it’s all good, it might be a little big though, but I hope not.
Well everyone, I love you all so much and I hope that you are all doing good! I know that this is the true church of God! That Jesus Cristo really leads and guides this church through a profet of god! I know that only through Fé, Repentance, baptism, and Enduring to the End can we return to live with our Father in Heaven! If you guys get a chance, study Alma 32! It is an amazing chapter about Faith! I know this is the true church!!! Read the Book of Mormon every day, “We can become closer to God by this book then by any other book!” – Joseph Smith
I love you all so much and pray for you guys always!!!!!! Until next week!!!! I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
