Happy Thanksgiving

Kumusta family and friends!

Well you know what they say, another week, another dolla. Well this week has been really good!! I mean its more of the same stuff everyday, and to be honest I don't even remember what I did on Monday BUT, It was really good! haha. 

Ok, so like I said on Monday I can't remember anything I did so lets just not worry about it haha. Tuesday night was really cool though!! we go to hear from Elder Ringwood of the seventy and his wife... and guess who his wife is!! shes the Daughter of our prophet Russel M. Neilsen!! it was super crazy!! nothing will bring the spirit in to the room more than when she said " I know my Father loves you, I know the Prophet loves you, it was crazy awesome!! They both had really good talks and really was just a good night, the devotionals here in the MTC are always so nice! really break up the week!

ok, so I just remembered on Saturday morning my kasama woke up and had spots all over his face and so we had to go to the urgent care and he got a skin infection so we got to go to Smiths and let me tell ya that little bit of freedom was so nice😂 plus like everyone there just loves you  they were all just so nice and when we first waked in they were was this little girl and she saw us and said " look mommy its the elders!! hi elders!" it was sooo cute and made me so happy. 

On Wed we just had a normal day but we had a power outage and that was crazy. We had to have class in the dark which was hard cause well all kept falling asleep haha oops. it was a blessing tho cause we had to teach both our teachers that night but because the rooms we teach in don't have windows we had to cancel them so that was nice haha. 

And then for Thanksgiving which by the way Happy Thanksgiving to you all I hope you had an amazing day and looked back on how blessed you all are!! so for my thanksgiving it was AMAZING ok so lets just start from the beginning of the day!! so for the morning devotional we got to hear from Elder Uchtdorf!! it was soooo amazing! the second he walked in the room you could feel him there!! and he just had this glow to him! One thing that i really liked that he said was " Gratitude gives us wings to fly over our darkest days" I really love this because I can testify of it!! Growing up worrying about my dad dying of cancer was always scary but knowing of merciful my God is and seeing who much he blesses me really helped me to get over my darkest hours! After that we had service and that was really fun to make a ton of food for people who need it! after we did that we got to watch a movie which was the the other side of heaven and after seeing that i am soooo thankful for planes haha it took him 48 days to get to Tonga by boat and then another * days to get to his island that he served on for his whole mission! its such a grate movie and I HIGHLY recommend it! after that we had a performance devotional and it was super good and the guy singing taught some good lessons about missions!

Well that has really been my week!! I Love you all so much and am so grateful to have you all in my life!! Oh and I leave for the Philippines on Dec 3 so that's crazy!! I love you all so much! and I cant wait to serve the people there!

Mahal Kita,

Elder Wilson
