Heading to the beach/hope

 T-news:

I'm getting transferred again... I have probably had some of the best times of my mission these past 6 weeks. I'm in a quad with 4 elders I love so much, and we have nearly perfected our missionary work it feels like. We were getting in with all the members who we struggled to get with in the beginning, we were teaching people again, we were having steady finding opportunities. It was amazing. My life was good. We all thought we would all stay 1 more. But transfers came and we all got split up and thrown around the mission. We are all pretty sad about it. 

But on a better note, I'm going over to Biloxi Mississippi which is an area I've ALWAYS wanted to serve. It's a beautiful beach town at the bottom if Mississippi, with people everywhere. I am so excited to serve there, the Ward there is known to be pretty good too. So I'm honestly super excited for it. My companion is actually a missionary I love so much, his name is Elder Jacobson and he is a country boy from a place called Buhl Idaho. We are going to have some fun. 

Highlights:

• I did exchanges in Opelousas and met some crazy people! We filled a trench where she had her sewer tank. It sucked. But she had us laughing the whole time! (Pic 3)

• We had another Crawfish boil which was sick! Brother Stock hooked us up! (Pic 4)

• Smoothie king (pic 2)

• Found a road called "A Wilson" so I started actin a fool (pic 2)

• Alexandria Ward Missionaries! (Pic 5)

Spirichul:

So I gave a talk on hope yesterday at church. And while preparing for the talk I realized how much Hope we have as latter day saints. We have a different perspective. We have a knowledge that can take us to heights unimaginable by those with simple atheistic views and even many theistic and christian cultures.

The knowledge we have, and the testimony we can gain of this knowledge is mind boggling. I'm so grateful for the Hope I have to be with my family forever! I'm grateful for the hope I also have in this life, to change and become the person God would like me to become, and really who I want to become. Some think that bad habits are part of their personality, and as Jeffrey R. Holland says in one of his talks, "I'm sick of people sinning and calling it psychology." 

The Hope we get from Jesus Christs Sacrifice is not only the resurrection, or life after death. But also the changing and "perfecting" while we are here. They say you can do anything with enough faith. And I could not agree more.

I love yall so much! 

Love, Elder Wilson

Mommy wants an email so I'm sending an email.

 So mom, this is just a shout out to you because I love you so much it's not even funny. 

I always wait until the end of the day and so I never have time for these I'm sorry mom. But this week was so fun! We biked everywhere and it was so freakin fun. We almost died 18 times but still so fun. Also bad news, we found out someone we are teaching works in the night club industry, so that's going to be a hurdle and a half. 

We also taught our boy John who low key is trying to bash us but he buys us catfish poboys before our "discussion" and everytime he comes up with some false doctorine we are usually able to settle his concern if ya know what I mean. We love john though he is such a good guy. 

I'm loving my mission. I love Alexandria. I'm sorry I don't have a lot of time but that's my update!

Also real quick: I learned alot about faith the other day. So I learned that faith is something we apply in EVERYTHING WE DO. Everything you do requires faith. When you take a step you have faith your foot will catch you and continue your stride. When you open a door you have faith your hand will open that door. Faith is everywhere. Temporally and spiritually. So make sure you practice your spiritual faith. Rely on Him. That's how you strengthen your faith. Is to put your faith to the test. Read, study, pray. With meaning. 

I love yall. Love Elder Wilson.
