Wazz Up Familia?!
so i see how it is.. everyone is having to much fun in hawaii to send me any e-mails.... hahaha, just kidding. thanks for the e-mail by the way, it was great to hear that everyone is doing good.
so this week we are going to have a baptism! on saturday at 7:00. we are super excited! she, Maria, was interviewed on monday and passed with flying colors. ;) so we are super excited about that! it will be sweet! we also have 2 more investigators that we want to set up for baptism on the 30 of oct. Hopefully that will work out to. as of right now, we are just trying to meet them. it is a part member family, the dad and brother in law aren't baptised yet. but have been to church a million times already. they just have a few things to change before they can get baptised. But we believe that they are ready and just need a little push in the right direction. so hopefully all will go well. So yes, i am planning on going out with a "bang". 3 baptisms in one month. but of course, it is nothing i have done or will do. it is all according to the spirit and the will of God. so we are praying alot that all will work out.
so i have been investigating a little bit one how i am going to send my bike home. i have been talking to a member who works for a shipping company and he said he might be able to work out a deal for me. but that the cheapest way would be to send it to vegas or to slc and then have some one (family member or friend) pick it up from there. or there is ups, but i am pretty sure that it would be at least 100 bucks to send it through them. but there is also an elder who is going home with me and his stake president is driving out here to pick him up (he doesn't have any papers so he can't get on a plane). and he lives in utah. he said he could take it home with him and then i could pick it up when i get home. but we have to see if there will be enough room. so.....if you have any ideas on how to get my bike home, let me know. :)
also, Mom and Dad, we need to make a few plans for when i get home to keep me busy for at least that first week, or until i can get a job and get busy. so brainstorm a few things and i will also be making some plans and when it gets closer, here in 3 weeks, we can plan it out over e-mail more or less.
so the Sister waiting to go to Brasil, that was in my district, left on tuesday. what a sad day again, now i have no one to practice with, although, the Brazilian lady we found a while back called the hermanas (because they have my old phone) looking for me. so hopefully we can get in touch with her again and start teaching her. that would be legit! i had a cool experience on monday. first of all i was in charge of district meeting, and it came out really good. not because i did anything special, but because the spirit was there and it was guiding us. it was really cool. i was totally stoked. then sister cidre (the one going to brazil) asked me for a blessing before she left for brazil. it was a very cool experience. i have truly come to appreciate the Blessing i have to be a Priesthood holder and to be able to serve others. it was a very spiritual experience for me. I love how the Spirit just flows and directs when you are giving blessings. it is such a marvelous and humbling experience.
I want all of you to know how much i truly Love this Gospel!! it means everything to me!!! and My mission has meant so much to me. I have learned and grown so much and i am truly going to miss being a missionary! to be honest i am not very excited to go home, because i don't want to stop serving in this calling! there truly is no greater calling in all the Church than to preach the gospel and bear testimony of the truths contained with in. I have learned so mush about the the Gospel and the Church. I have come to know my Savior better. and i have come to know who i am and who i want to become. and i can honestly say, my greatest convert in the mission was myself. I am now converted to this gospel. I know why we do things, and i know where to go for answers when i don't know. I know that this is the True Church of Jesus Cristo. This is the ONE and ONLY way to return and live with our God and our Brother! and the best part is that I know for MYSELF! i found out for myself. It is True!! and I love it!!!!! I love you all so much and i want to thank you all for your love and support. and for helping me through my hard times. Keep the Faith!!! and we'll all be together sooner than you think! have a great week!!! say hi to everyone in Hawaii for me. oh, and Please drink some acai for me!!!! man, i would love to have some right now!
Eu amo Voces!!!!!!
your son, brother, and Elder,
Elder Wilson
