I've sent yall a lot of emails

Fun week. Nuff said. LSU sisters got in a car accident, so my comp and I rushed over to help them out so we escorted their damaged car back to their apartment and I had to drive a damaged car from BR to Denham springs that had its window shattered through which was SICK. Hahah people definitely were judging my driving. Also we have a new senior couple coming in! They are a military couple though so they will be serving on base near Biloxi Mississippi, so I went and bought all of their couches and chairs and beds and their table and basically everything they need to survive and set it up for them. It was sick but it was a lot of driving. My companion had a truck with a trailer full of stuff. And I had a 12 passenger van full of stuff and we drove across LA and MS and it was so sick. Loved every minute of it. I am not going to lie a lot happens but it all gets mushed together. So I'll leave yall with some cool things my Mission President told me today. "Dreams and Hope's are just your Dreams and Hope's until you have a plan" He was telling me that because right now my mission life is not normal. The first 9 months of my mission I was able to have a routine. Wake up, work out, eat, get ready, daily plan, personal study, comp study, and GO. Now it's always GO so I dont have that same routine, just like all yall. We all say I hope I can do this or Its my dream to do that. But if you dont set up a plan or a HOW why even think about it? Why hope for it? Why waste your time dreaming about it. Yeah so I was applying this to my personal and companionship studies. But yall can literally apply this to anything. But more importantly you should apply it to your spiritual lives. What are you slacking on and why are you slacking? I can tell you right now that whatever it is you're slacking on, it's because you dont have a plan. Repentance is change, you change comes best through planning what you will do differently. So that's just my thoughts Love yall, Lovvvvveeeee Elder Wilson 1)big toko tried to push the car... 2)plastic wrapman 3)plastic wrapman, the sisters have fomo 4) found a frog, really just tryna flex my calculator watch

Meet My New Mission President

Heyyyy what's upppp down here in the BR we are thriving. We got a new Mission President. His name is President Amos and I freaking love him. He came into the mission last monday and hes already visited all the missionaries (social distanced and masked up) and he just spoke to all the zones and he has some POWAH. A little info on President Amos and Sister Amos: -They lived in Orlando Florida for the past 30 years. - He grew up Catholic until he was in college. - She grew up Baptist until she was 16. - He was recruited by the navy to work on a nuclear submarine and he was a mechanical Engineer. Has 4 degrees. SUPER SMART GUY. -She worked for NASA and worked on a few Mars landing projects and she was working on the 2020 Mars Rover. (Kinda sick) -She actually had to resign from NASA when she got the calling of being a mission presidents wife which I thought was sad but shes so happy and excited so its crazy. -He grew up in Opelousas which is in our mission. That's insane because mission Presidents RARELY serve where they grew up! -EVEN COOLER: She grew up in North Baton Rouge, her mom lives 20 minutes from the mission home!!! So she has visited her a few times! It's insane how lucky we are! ANYWAYS President Amos goes 100mph at all times. He visited a different zone every day of the week until friday, bamboozled all of our zones, then he called up Elder Niepraschk and I and Elder Olsen and Elder Crandall and told us to meet him at the mission home at 10am for a little meeting. That meeting ended up going until 8 pm that night. A 10 hour meeting of just informing him on how transfers work and a little bit of Mission information lolz. Only stopping for like 40 minutes to go get some burritos at IZZOS. Then he was up all day Sunday doing transfers and told us he finished at 4am this morning. And we had to go through the transfer board with him and tell him why certain scenarios wouldnt work and helped him clean it up. So basically this guy doesnt stop or slow down. He goes 100% So all in all I'm super excited for the next year or so of serving under this guy. Hes so cool. Anyways we have transfers this week and so itll be super busy again but I'm super excited! Some cool notes on Elder Klebingats MTC devotional, all yall should get access to that and listen it's super good. You should never leave any meeting unchanged. And heres how: - you need to allow the lord to know you are anxious to learn something from any meeting you attend by any speaker, wether its that 8 year old that only plays video games, or your stake president, there is always something to take away. - conscientiously take notes and ACT on what you learn. THAT IS HOW YOU CHANGE AMD BECOME CHRISTLIKE. - You cant go back and change the beginning, but you can change where you are going-CS Lewis. (Paraphrased) - no one can fix you except you. You cant testify to others that they can change if you arent changing as well. - do you believe weak things can become strong? And does the Lord know that you believe it? Just some food for thought. I love yall! Love Elder Wilson 1) its raining a lot 2) Honk the turtle sat on the fire hydrant for an hour and a half! He waited for us to help a guy move! 3) purty sunset had to have a hand sanitizer duck pose for me 4)Elder Engler is heading up to my baby area!!! 5)Bye President Varner ily! This guy was awesome. Learned a lot from him and had some pretty special moments with him. ---pics of president Amos coming soon---
