This weeks weekly, plus hurricane again lol Yahoo / Inbox

 Even more happened lol


So we had zone conferences so Elder Fualalo and I got to go to all of the zone conferences and Elder Fualalo knows how to cut hair nice so he brought his hair clippers to cut up some hair after zone conferences. Well long story short, after each zone conferences, with a lot of persuasion we were able to get like 40 other missionaries to buzz their heads at all the zone conferences. So now our mission looks like a prison camp, full of consecrated missionaries who dont need their hair! It attracts too many sisters attention! We dont need that right now! We stay away from such temptation from the adversary! 

So yeah whole mission be looking cute right now not gonna lie.

Also we got ANOTHER HURRICANE COMING IN LOL kinda not funny ahhaha 

President Amos called me saturday night and was like "hey we got a hurricane coming, we need 3 zones evacuated make it happen". So me and my squad hopped on the computer and were making travel plans for all the missionaries, and made it happen so the next day we made calls and got missionaries into what we THOUGHT was safe.... then the hurricane RE-ROUTED. so we had to move a bunch of missionaries AGAIN. So right now we have 4 zones evacuated and I've got the same 8 missionaries living with me that I had in the last hurricane evacuation which is SO FUN 

But yeah a cool little miracle happened this week. There are 2 sisters in my district who were kinda sad because they had gotten 0 member referrals the whole time they had been in their area, so during our stewardship call we said a lil prayer and asked for a member referral, and then I told them they can't sit around and just wait for that referral like they gotta go get it, the Lord will only assist. So they went out and got 3 meal appointments with members and the members invited us as well. So basically we shared great lessons had great food but these members had no referrals to give... so the sisters were sad but then on saturday this member that they haven't seen in dayyyyyz calls and tells them "hey I was talking to my friend about the church and like she really wants to meet yall and get baptized eventually, will yall help me out?" And we got sooo stoked hahahah.

So like I know that was a tiny miracle, but we each see miracles like that every day so I felt like it was the perfect picture of how the Lord works in our life, He let's us push ourselves and do all we can, then he steps in and will answer our prayers, maybe not in the way that we were thinking but he does it. So idk just super cool. Remember this when you're praying, and needing something, The Lord will provide, just look outside the box... or in other words, do your best to HearHim. Just my thought!
I love yall stay cute and I promise I'll be safe lol
Love Elder Wilson

1)buzzed boys after Zone Conferences

This was last weeks weekly that never sent

 To start my week off I was just driving my big ole' 12 seater van with some elders in the back (idk if I told you but yeah I drive a 12 seater van and its sick!) And I just leaned back to Elder wheeler and said "dude, president Varner hated buzz cuts, but President Amos HAS A BUZZ CUT.... should we buzz our heads?" And he said "Yeah." So that night we buzzed our heads lol. Pics are below.


We had Hurricane cleanup in DeRidder, LA which is just north of Lake Charles. It was so sad to see so many houses just destroyed but it was so cool to just watch so many people come together and just serve and we saw so many miracles.

Lots happens on a day to day basis and I forget everything but yeah I'll send ya pics and vids of this week! 
Love yall! 
Love Elder Wilson

Post-Laura & Da BOIZ

 So the Hurricane hit HARD and it affected quite a bit of our mission. We had evacuated the whole south 1/4 of our mission, but the first hurricane (Marco) dodged us completely. Then the second (Laura) hit way more west than we expected and harder than we expected so it shot up the whole west side of our mission and luckily we evacuated the missionaries on that side last minute so everyone was completely safe. Just a lot of missionaries without power or water, so we evacuated them to areas where they do have power and water. We have a few of our missionary apartments that got a little bit of water in them and had shingles taken off. One apartment had a tree go through the window too. 


All in all this hurricane did a lot of damage, but I'm so glad that we have an Inspired Mission President who is also very intelligent, who did all in his power to keep the missionaries safe, it was so awesome to watch as he fully relied on the Lord to keep us safe and did so successfully. 

And because of that I had so much fun with all 8 of us Elders staying in my apartment and we had so much fun and had the deepest talks as we just sat in the apartment... (we were on lock down because President Amos didnt want anyone outside.) 

Well I love yall Mom and Dad have fun in Lake Powell without me again
-love Elder Wilson
