Alexandria is so sick! This place is definitely my biggest area, and my biggest ward. But wow the work is tuffff. We share the ward with 2 other elders and 2 other sisters. Which is great and all, because this ward is baptizes like every week. But unfortunately me and my companion came in with nobody to teach and so we have been starting from scratch. In our first 3 days here we have already found a few people who are pretty interested but getting members to fellowship these people has been a struggle... because the members are already fellow fellowshipping people the other missionaries are teaching. So it's a battle for our members rn but I love it, because I will end up winning. We are already pretty tight with a few of em but I have yet to meet a lot of our members.
Anyways this week i learned: you have to be bold and persistent in order to succeed.
That's it. Now here are some quotes from some people I met that I loved:
"Own it! Take ownership! No matter what it is, take it and make it yours, and make it better."
"Pay attention to details"
"All things that can truly help you in life are free, we just need the willpower to just do them. (30 mins of exercise, 30 mins of scripture study. Are free)
"Just because a little is good, doesnt mean more is better"
Now those wont make any sense to any of you, but I know my mom saves these emails so I just want to come across those again in the future and remember them because I'll probably have a good laugh.
Love you guys, I'll give you some good updates next week talking about all the sick stuff that actually gets done in Alexandria.
Love Elder Wilson.
