just another weekly

The mission life is awesome, I am loving it out here. This past week we had our District Leader and his companion sleeping over at our apartment for exchanges and since Elder Sewell (my companion) loves to scare people we scared them with this creepy foam zombie thing at 3 am last night and their reaction was priceless. They screamed and threw everything in hands reach at the thing lol. So funny. CONFERENCE was crazy y'all I hope you watched it, something that stood out to me was how much that temples and joy were both brought up. Through the temple we find joy, through temple sealings and ordinances that happen only in the temple. Remember that. Today we went Mountain biking at Bonita Lakes which was soooo pretty and my district leader Elder Carson had a dream last night that he was going to dislocate his shoulder mountain biking today, then actually crashed which was cool but mainly funny haha. Good stuff. QUICK THOUGHT: L. Todd Budge said, "The gospel doesn't give us anything but peace and joy through life's hard times." not that exact quote but something along those lines, anyways that's so true, you can't expect to just have your life go perfectly because you believe in Christ and follow him. Life is going to be hard. No matter what. I wake up 1,697 miles away from home and it's hard for me because i love my family, who is currently chillin at my home. But that's okay, because through Christ and this gospel I can have peace and joy over here in Mississippi and still love my life even though its hard right now. Anyways I know you each can find peace and joy in your lives because any problems you are having are minuscule if you look at the big picture. Bob Ross quote- "Gotta have opposites, light and dark and dark and light, in painting. It's like in life. Gotta have a little sadness once in awhile so you know when the good times come. I'm waiting on the good times now." peace and love, Elder Wilson hehe 1) Bonita upper lake n my face 2) Me and Elder Sewell looking cute in front of bonita lake after mtn biking 3) Elder Carson after his crash that he knew was gonna happen
