Peanut Butter Bars:( I want some!!!!

Oi! everyone!! thanks for the e-mail.
my p-day is the same every week. and i only have an hour for comp. time. that is if theres not alot of missionaries. cause the computers are across the street from the mtc in Cheney cookies (the missionary ties place). oh and mom, they have THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wish you could try them!!!!!!!!! they are so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but its 4 reis for one. ( which is about 2.50 dollars) they are amazing though!!!!!!!!!!! the cookies are really good to.
the luggage thing was fine. the place you pick up the luggage was right by the terminal i walked in so it only took me about 20 min. no biggy.
I really miss the cornbread! yoúll get a letter in about a week ish telling you all about it. i just sent it today so. and the one i sent last week should get there in the next few days.
on p-days we got to the temple at 6:30 in the morning and get back about 12-1, but next week we have visa thing at the police station instead of the temple. then we can walk around outside (within the boundaries the mtc set) and buy stuff or just see the city. but we cańt take cameras outside of the mtc so you wońt see much of Sao Paulo. sorry.
so they gave us 60 reis to last us the month and ím down to 20 :) because i bought some stuff. a little hymn book in portugues and i had to buy some shampoo cause i left it in the shower and it got stolen:( and then flash cards and some cookies and cinnamon rolls. but i get more money in two weeks so it́s good:) so what are michael and dallin and chanae up to? whats new? what are you and dad doin. so i noticed that last week chanae hadńt updated my blog.... except for the pic. :) how long ago did you send my letter? hey, i forgot my oil vile and the oil in my drawer in my nightstand. so if you send a package or anyhting. wanna through that in for me. so did my room... i mean michaeĺs room:) ever get packed up, or cleaned:) has he sold my truck or 4 wheeler yet? if he does sell the fourwheeler tell him to sell the ramps to. he could easliy get 80 bucks just from the ramps.
So did you ever get those sheep. you should send me some pics so i can see what they look like. is it anoying to feed them.
so i really miss pizza right now! they serve pizza here on thursday nights, but it́s not nearly as good. it́s kinda wierd. they have this pizza with chocolate topping too, it́s really wierd.
dońt worry about the rice and beans thing mom. ím used to it. i was used to it by about the third day. just cause we have it for lunch and dinner. ím kinda tired of it though. it́s time for something new:)
Love you all so much!!!!

Dear Family,

Hello from Brazil!! It is really cool down here. The houses are really interesting. Some of them look like they are made out of wood and stuff we would throw away, and that's because they are. It's a little different. Pedestrians have no rights so you have to watch out for buses and cars, and motorcycles so you don't die:) You would not believe how many motorcyclists there are! It's crazy. They are weaving in and out of traffic. I'm just waiting for one to get hit.
Oh, I'm here and I'm safe. :) So the plane ride was so long!! I was going crazy! And I still am, I'm soooo tired. I only slept for about 1/2 of the 10 hr. flight, and they won't let us get any sleep till at least 8:00. So I barely have any energy to stand! :)
Oh, Mom, I need my yellow fever booklet thing. It's yellow and the lady had me sign it and stuff. I need it to come home in two years. The food here is interesting. Rice and beans :) plus other stuff.
My companion is Elder Keliiliki (pronounced Kay-lee-e-lee-key). He's Hawaiian. He was in SLC with us.
Thanks for the letters everyone! I loved them. :)
So apparently, everyone says it's easier to know Portuguese and then learn Spanish then the other way . :( Great huh. I am so lost when they speak in Portuguese, but it will come!
Give everyone my love! I love you all so much! Hey Mikey, make a few 3's in bball for me tonight. :)
Love you!!

Elder Wilson
Fist Bro!


Brian's companion is the 2nd Elder on the right.

One Week Left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how close I am getting. I got my visa and plane tickets on Friday, and my Name Tag came with it! When I saw the name tag it hit me as to how close it really was! I got scarred out of my mind. :) It was pretty crazy! I am really excited to go though! I can't wait! Only 8 days left!!!!!!!

My Mission's Flag

The Brazil Flag



Joao Pessoa State Flag

Called To Serve!

So the Sunday after I got back from E.F.Y. my bishop told my mom that I should be expecting my mission call on Tuesday or Wednesday. So when she told me I started freaking out cause that was a week earlier than my Stake Pres. told me! So I was totally stoked, and then i realized that my little brother Dallin was gone to Timberline (scout camp) until Saturday. So I would have to wait almost a week to open my call.
Tuesday came along and no mission call. I wasn't to bummed cause i figured it would come Wednesday anyways. Then Wednesday came and went and no mission call. By that time i was wishing my Bishop hadn't told me it was coming early because now it wasn't here. I didn't have to work Thursday, so waiting until 2 o'clock to come around was driving me nuts. Finally it came and i ran over to check the mail box...
And There It Was!!!
Unfortunately I still had to wait till Saturday to open it. So in order to keep myself from opening it I had to stay busy. I was either out with friends all night or upstairs playing games to keep my mind off of it.
Slowly but surely Saturday finally came. So where am I going..............
Brazil Joao Pessoa Mission!
I will arrive at the Brazil Sao Paulo MTC September 17.
and I will be speaking Portuguese!!
So basically, I'm totally Stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(clapping)
EFY!!!
So this was my 6th and last year at E.F.Y. as a participant. I 'm so sad that it's over cause it was sooo much fun!!! Me, Michael, Dallin, Kendreck, and Devon all drove up to beaver Sunday night and stayed with my aunt and uncle, then drove to Provo Monday morning. It was so amazing! Michael was my roommate, and our company name was Common To Man. My favorite parts were the dances of course (basically because i got to dance with super hot young women!) and Thursday night which was testimony meeting. Thursday was the highlight of the week because your in church clothes the whole day and you do fun activities to invite the spirit. Then right before testimony meeting all the youth stand up and sing the efy medley, which I absolutely love! The spirit is always so strong and it's so amazing to see 1300 youth sing this song! Wow! I don't think there is anything better!
Oh, just as a side note... My mission call is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooo super excited!!!!!
