Update on my life

Hey thanks all that sent me surprise packages for Christmas! I am so thankful that a lot of you haven't forgotten about me out here lol. It is much appreciated!

I had a great Christmas, I went to Waffle House with the Penningtons which was so fun then got to call the fam & open presents. (Already put a hole in a new white shirt I got from my mom for Christmas). Then we went and played Jenga and watched the Christchild at the Penningtons and it was so much fun.

This week has been filled with miracles and good times. On Tuesday we were able to finally teach a guy we found through a member and he didnt care for our message at first, but after 5 weeks of service of helping him breed his Horses (That was horrifying) and feed his livestock and training his horses and goats and cows, we finally got to teach him on Tuesday! And he said he would actually LOVE to read the Book of Mormon. It was so cool. 

The Lord has been good to me out here in Louisiana and Mississippi. I have seen too many miracles and had too many blessings to know that what I'm doing is right. The Gospel changes people. The Gospel is where we can find Joy. Jesus Christs birth is great and all, but it's because of WHAT He did in his lifetime that made his birth something to Celebrate. THE ATONEMENT OF JESUS CHRIST is what brings me Joy. Now honestly ask yourselves what actually brings you Joy? Not just temporary happiness, TRUE JOY. 

I LOVE YALL, STAY CUTE!

LOVE, ELDER WILSON

Life is Güd in Louisiana still

 Life update from me over here in Louisiana.

Transfer week is this week but I'll be staying in Jonesboro with Elder Roger's. Our whole zone is changing up quite a bit which is sad but also exciting. 

I was on exchanges all week last week which was so fun, I was making tons of memories with my boys over in Vicksburg MS, Greenville MS, Farmerville LA, and Ruston LA. We had a ton of fun and put in tons of work. It was so sick. 

We had Elder Martino from the 70 speak to our mission and he spoke again to our MLC which pumped up or mission quite a bit. We have seen lots of miracles from it too.

Basically all ive been doing is just tons of service. And we did service on exchanges in Vicksburg because that are was struggling with finding so I used the same tactics I use here in Jonesboro and we found 8 people for them to teach in one day. We had 3 different opportunities to serve these people while out and about and it was soooo nice to be in an area that wasnt a small town for once lol.  

This month I've been reading the Gospels a lot more (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and I've learned a lot more about the Saviors life and the way He taught and it's been really cool, obviously I've read these stories before but right now I'm taking it in a lot more. 

I love you guys stay cute!

Love Elder Wilson
