Dear Família,
So how is every one doing? i am doing better than last week. :) once again we didn't baptize which really sucks but other than that life is going on normal as usual. this week i went to the hospital to see a doctor and do some exams, and i still have a kidney stone in my kidney and some are going down already. the doctor said that they only start to hurt when they start to descend. soooo.. yeah.. the doc gave me some medicine to take, but unfortunately it isn't doing anything. the pains remain the same, terrible. so i will call up sister to see what she said. i don't know if i am able to talk directly to the mission doctor. usually we have to call the sister when something is wrong and then she tell us what to do. but i will give her a call. other than that things are normal.
This week we had a conference with Presidente. it was really good. it gave me a spiritual boost that i was really needing. it was interesting because a lot of the things that he said where things that i was needing to hear.
oh, just to let you know, the other day our lunch appointment fell through so i took my comp out to eat. and then today our allowance didn't come and we don't have any more money because we have to get a lot of buses in my area, and a lot of times the members forget we have a lunch appointment with them, so we have been spending a lot of money on food and buses. so today i got more money out of my account so that we can eat and work until the allowance comes.
oh, and where you guys able to talk to that sister here that will send your packages? an elder at the conference said that she got them sent off again. so keep an eye out on the mail man.
well family, that's about all that i have got for this week. oh, did you guys send my garments and diario yet? if not, throw my rubiks cube in as well. ;)
I love you all!!! the church is true and Thomas S. Monson is a true Profeta!!! Cristo is our Savior and Redeemer!!!!!
michael and dallin... good luck with your battle of the bands gig!!! KICK BUTT!!!!!!

Hey......January 18, 2010
hey family,
so this week was really rough. after working all week long and preparing a girl to be baptize on sunday, she decided she didn't want to be baptized right now, and then instead of going to church went to the beach. and almost all of our other investigators didn't go to church as well. we had 2 investigators at church. 2 men. one has to get married and his wife doesn't want to and the other one doesn't want to leave his church. so i basically have no one to baptize this week again. this will be the 5th week in a row i haven't baptize if something doesn't work out. i am really frustrated, i have never gone so long with out baptizing, and i am a district leader so i have to set an example for my district. huh... so yeah, i am stressed out. but, i hope something will work out.
so we are teaching a family really special. it is really amazing how fast you can love someone when you are serving them. i really have a love for this family and hope that they will except the gospel. we have been teaching them for about 2 weeks. we took the bishopric over there last week and the lesson went really good. and this week they were planning on going to church, but they live really far from the chapel, so we asked an irmão to pick them up and he forgot to pass by there. so that really sucked. so we called them up to say sorry and all.
wow, so this week was really a bagunça. but it's all good, things like this all ways happen. and this week i was having crazy dores in my kidneys. it was terrible.
wow, sorry this e-mail is crappy. so something good that happened this week... our family is going good. they are excepting all our messages. and the bispado is really excited and open and willing to help. and the other ward tambem wants to help alot! so those are all things really good.
hey everyone, thanks so much for the e-mails! it was great to hear how every one is doing! i hope you all have a great week!! the church is true!!!! Cristo is our Savior and redeemer!!!!!!
I love you all!!!!!!!!!!

Sup Familia Wilson.....January 11, 2010
Dear Familia,
E ai!? So how is everyone doing? How was the week? It sounds like you guys are doing well. I am doing good. My new comp is Elder Dzikovicz. His name is polish. Cool huh. He is preaty neat. A little crazy but its all good.
So i am in two wards again. The ward Natal and the ward Pirangí. As i said last week my área is freakin huge. It is crazy. But things are going good. The two wards are working really good and are excited to help us. So i am glad about that. It makes my work easier and everything flows better when everyone works together.
Wow, Jeff is already going home! How crazy is that! I cant believe it! It seems like He left yesterday! Heck, it seems like i left yesterday!
I can’t believe that you guys are going to Hawaii again! How cool. I’m jealous. Just a little, because here i have everything that Hawaii hás, but unfortunately i cant go to the beach. Which really sucks. So hey, we need to plan a trip to visit Brasil after my mission. I think it would be cool to visit during december, because all the wards here Will be doing parties and then you guys can meet all the members! It would be sweet! Christmas in Natal! Just an Idea. ;) anyways....
So we are teaching a family really cool. Last night we took the Bishop and a counselor and the ward mission leader to visit the fam. We had a really good lesson about eternal families and then we spent about ½ hr. answering some questions that the pai had. It was pretty cool. And the Bishop was really pleased with the work we are doing. So that made me happy to know that i have his confidence. I still haven’t meet the other bishop yet because He is traveling in rio de janeiro. But yeah.
Well sorry this letter is short, but i have run out of things to say. Soooooo....
The Church is true!!! The Book of Mórmon is true, and Thomas S. Monson is a profet of God!!!! I hope you all have a great week!!!!!! I Love you all!!!!! Tchau

Feliz Ano Novo!!!!! January 1, 2010
Sup family!!!
so how was everyone's new years eve? what did you guys do? did you guys have fireworks? did Ivins do fireworks?
mine was okay. my comp. elder gilliland, is a new missionary, and so he just wanted to sleep because he was tired. So he went to sleep and i stayed awake alone, waiting for the new year to come in. there were a bunch of fireworks here, and it was pretty cool. they were so loud that it woke up my comp.
oh yeah, so i got "emergency" transfered again! i returned to Natal. and i was called district leader again. so i was pretty excited/stressed about that. but it will be good. so my area is the center of Natal. we have all of the shopping malls in my area! but unfortunately its against the rules of the mission to enter. and we have the biggest shopping mall in the northeast of brasil in my area! so that kinda sucks that we can't enter, but oh well. and i am taking care of two wards. and the areas of these wards are huge!!!!!!!!! it is about an hour walk from my house to the church. but luckily we have some members with cars here who will help us take investigators to the church.
oh, and we have a bunch of pizza places in our area, and chinese and a place called bob's burgers which is almost exactly like an arctic circle at home!!!! its so good!!!!! but really expensive. about 20 reis per person, so like 10 bucks for a meal. but it is way good!!!! so my area is so big that i can get a bus and ride on the bus for 45 min and i will still be in my area. it's terrible! hahahahaha. so yeah, but its all good. so elder gilliland is on his 2nd transfer, yes, he's american. but he is already talking portugues really good. way better than i was with his time. he was trained and started his mission in Nova Republica, my first area. so that was cool, when i left there the second time, he arrived. so we have already had the same comp.
so can you believe that i will go home this year!!! Wow!!! its already 2010!!!!! I can't believe it!!!!! it is so wierd to think that i will be going home in 8 months. crazy huh. i don't know if i am excited or sad. i'm kind of both of them.
so is everyone excited for this new year? eu estou, tenho opurtunidade de trabalhar e ser uma pessoa different! fazer novo metas! estou animado! vai ser bom de mais! so is everyone making your new years resolutions? i have a few made up, but i am going to make some more. and it's not only important to make some goals, but an action plan of how you will accomplish your goals. my Presidente has been talking alot about making plans of how you will change to reach your goals. it is something that i am trying to put in practice. so lets see what happens. one of my goals is to gain weight. hahaha. i think my problem was that i was drinking that smoothie i told you about, açai, everyday. but now that it is more expensive here in Natal i wont drink as much.
well, now that you guys have a book, i'll end it here. oh, and sorry i am not sending any fotos. the freakin comp is gay and the usb port doesn't work. I love you all!!! The chruch is true!!! Jesus Cristo é nosso Salvador e Redentor!!!! the Book of mormon is true!!!!
Eu amo voces!!!!
Happy New Year!!!!!
