Hey Everyone,
Thank you all for the e-mails!! i love it when i receive one from everyone! its flippin sweet!!!!!! so did everyone like conference? i only got to watch the Sunday sessions. because Saturday we were running around, baptizing, and doing interviews for other elders to baptize. so i missed alot, and for the last session alot of people were talking so i couldn't hear hardly anything, and because it was all in portugues it was a little bit difficult to understand everything. but i still got some good notes and enjoyed what i understood.:)
so on Saturday morning we baptized a young man named Machino. and on Sunday in between conferences we baptized a primary g irl named Karole. it was pretty cool! so overall my weekend was awesome! it was kinda funny, i thought yesterday was Easter (that's why you got an early e-mail mom). so Sunday morning i studied about the Christ and his atonement, but then we realized that it wasn't Easter. but it was cool anyways!
so in the ward Cidade do sol, we have been having some problems with some of the members. we have a rule to baptized every week and baptized on Sundays. but some of the members think we should baptize on Saturday (including the bishop). so they are mad cause we are baptizing on Sunday, because the investigators have to wait a week to receive the holy ghost. and that is alot of time, enough time for the investigator to decided that he doesn't want to return to church. and i think this happened alot in the past, and some of the members keep arguing with us that we are doing everything wrong. but the rule of the mission is baptized on Sunday. so we are keeping the rules. it kinda sucks, because now we only have one member in that ward giving references. but the other ward started giving references like crazy. so now we are working in the other ward more. so it is really interesting:) sorry, i'm rambling. and yes we do baptize on Saturdays sometimes, depends on the circumstances. so yeah, other then that not much is new.
oh, one thing that i kinda need but not drastically is a white long sleeve shirt. i gave one to an investigator because he needed a shirt and i almost never use long sleeve shirts, just when we have conferences with my suit. and i was wearing my other one yesterday and got a big grease stain on it...long story.... but i think it is ruined. i have it soaking in water with some bleach but i don't know if it will do anything. so just something when you send a package. but i don't need it really bad so fica tranquilo.
so i am sending pics of the baptisms and of a little bird that was in our garage thingy (?). i think he was hurt because we could basically touch him and he didn't do anything (no mom, i didn't touch him:).
well everyone, i love you all and hope that you are all doing well!! i know that this church is true!! Jesus is the Cristo, the Savior and Redeemer of the World! I am very excited for this Easter week!!! a special time we have to reflect upon our Lord and God and the sacrifice He made for us!!! I am so grateful for you all and so happy that our family is Eternal!!!! I love you all!!!!!!!
Love your son and brother and elder,
Elder Wilson
