Craziest week of my life

So much work yet so much fun in this past week. It's been crazy. So president took us through his transfer plans last monday in our meeting so we knew where all the new missionaries were going. So then we took that and ran with it. I took a lap through 2 whole zones all day tuesday and I had planned to sleep in a town called Natchitoches (pronounced Nakadish) but as soon as we walked in to the apartment I turned on the lights and hundreds of black things just scattered all over the floor and I could see them on the walls and I was soooo grossed out. We realized they were small roaches and there were lots of big cockroaches too everywhere and Elder Fualalo opened the fridge and a bunch flew out and so I came to the quick decision that I was not about to sleep with tons of cockroaches crawling over me if I have the choice. So we called the Winnfield elders and told them we would be there in an hour or so, which would mean we would get there at 11:30. So they left the door unlocked. When we got to winnfield we plopped down on their nasty mattresses and because we didnt have any pillows or blankets I just used a towel to separate my body and the nasty mattress. But I was happy to at least have a mattress to sleep on. The next day we made it all the way to El Dorado, Arkansas then back through Louisiana and we were back in Denham Springs that night. A TON of driving but it was so fun to see all the missionaries and all my friends. Transfer day was so much fun, except on the way to pick up the new missionaries there was a BAD storm. We walked in and picked all 20 of these missionaries who have already served missions and they knew what was up. So it was pretty easy because nobody was lost or confused. But it was cool to see a fellow Lone Peak Knight Elder Taylor there at the airport, then he drove with me to his area. That was sick. But really my week consisted of a LOT of driving and preparing for that big day. Then when it hit, IT HIT. We were exaughsted. But something I wanna leave with yall in this crazy message is that the Lords hand is EVIDENT in all of this. There are so many miracles in all of this. I am witnessing that He WANTS HIS MISSIONARIES OUT AND HES MAKING IT HAPPEN. So I'm lucky enough to be a part of this and see these miracles first hand. So fun! So I'm sure you are all seeing some pretty crazy miracles in all of this as well. Keep your eyes open because they are happening! I love yall Love Elder Wilson 1)Airplane landing place 2)ditto, but in the rain 3)Louisiana purty (we saw a gator in there) 4)Dinner after transfer 5)Mom I love you and you know I'm grateful for you and you know I miss you so so much you're amazing.
