Hello everybody!
This is probably the most packed email I have had in a while. I went to the temple this last week! It was amazing, such a spiritual event. I got to see the group that came out with me and I am happy to report that we are all still out serving and we are quite a large group. It was so good to see old, familiar faces!
On Saturday, Heather was baptized and that was also a very tender experience. She was so excited and committed, she pushed through several hard trials to get to this point and now she is on the covenant path and continuing to push forward!
On Sunday, I bid farewell to Elder Brown who returned home after completing his mission yesterday. He was a very good companion and taught me several things...... one of which is to appreciate being tall, hahaha!
I found out last night that I will be staying in Hazelwood for another six weeks, not training though. I swear, if they give me another companion who finishes his mission with me, I think I'm justified in requesting for whatever area and companion I want, hahahah! Elder Brown was the third companion that finished his mission with me and the second in this area alone! I find out tomorrow who my new companion will be tomorrow. Hopefully I break my streak of being the Mission Mortician (because I "kill" off so many companions).
It's gonna be fun serving in Hazelwood this Thanksgiving season. I'm gonna be fed like crazy so hopefully I keep my weight under control. I love you all and hope you enjoy the holiday season and remember the reasons for the seasons.
Love, Elder Wilson
