Well Well Well I am still on the Wale!!! With Elder Barker too! Woot!!! Elder Barker is the man! So I am not entirely sure what your question about swansea was? Swansea is the city in which I serve, it is the name of the ward as well. But because there are multiple Missionaries in the ward and they cycle all of them cover the city of swansea and Elder Barker and I cover all of the villages in the ward Boundary. We don't even live in swansea we live in Gorseinon which is AMAZING!!!! So yoeah and as for "THE DODGE" It's just a word we use for transfer calls haha. I was just in a weird mood:) I thought the thing with the TV was Hilarious and Profound:) And I was laughing pretty hard about kit and scout when Jord was picking them up. This week was good, our people preparing for Baptism are going through some crazy times.... But one of our investigators is doing well! She is so funny, and she is from ireland by the way. So in Sacrament meeting yesterday there was a couple returning back to Wales and they were saying that Wales was the best place on earth then in the middle of it in sacrament meeting she yells out "Ireland!" it was pretty funny. She is definitely one of a kind:) So Transfers was crazy and we were running around all over the place but it was a good week over all. I feel like I am learning a lot of things. So life is good! And Wales is SO Beautiful!!! You should look up "The Gower" We cover the villages in there and we were tracting there the other day and we had to drive somewhere after and my goodness the drive back was SOOO Pretty!!!! I Love The Scriptures so much, they are changing me a lot and I feel like I am becoming better. It is good to hear Halloween went pretty well:) We had to be in by six so it wasn't too crazy for us haha. I am really growing a deeper Passion for Street contacting:) So much of Missionary work is numbers which is good but I am deciding only to think of numbers when we are planning and accounting other than that when we are out and about it is PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE!! I Love talking to People, especially when you are their Friend then The Gospel Naturally flows out of your mouth from your Heart. Well I Hope you all have a good week. I Love you lots! Read Ezra 10:4 that has pretty much become my favorite. Especially seeing why it says that. Love you Elder Wilson

Hey Everybody! So Transfers are this week... I think I am staying but who knows! It has been a pretty good week. We had Interviews this week, and also Stake Conference! It was pretty Amazing, I spoke at the Adult session of the Conference. Of course I was asked to speak on Missionary work:) All the Swansea Missionaries sang Nearer My God to Thee too, that was awesome!! Halloween this week? Nice. Hopefully you feel better! Oh we hade Zone P day today so that was pretty good. We did a talent show and I thought it went pretty good. We also played some Football (soccer) and Volleyball, so it has been a pretty good day. Soooo............. President told me in my interview that Elder Matheus might be coming over here....... I am freaking out!! although I am slightly worried that he will be replacing me! I miss him and It would be so AMAZING to Serve around him! I think I felt like I became The Missionary that I wanted to be when I was with him. We will see in a few hours! Dodge night.......................................................................................................................................................................... The................................. Dodge.................................................................................................................................Dodge.....................................................................................................Oh my Dodge..........................................................................(Transfers) So that smoked egg sounds pretty scrumptious! have you ever heard of a scotch egg? It's like a breaded egg? It is pretty good! There is also this stuff over here called Branston Pickle it's like pickled something and you put it on sandwhich's I really like it! So yeah I Like Turtles. In all seriousness it has been a good week, and I really enjoyed stake conference as it was about hastening The Work. I have been reading in Jacob 5! Holy fudge that is now!!! We gotta get to it! I feel like I am doing what I can in The Lord's vineyard, and that is good but I also feel that I can do more! Also have been reading Acts in the New Testament! Soooo good! It pumps me up to go and Preach The Gospel! I appreciate dad saying I need to remember to have fun! I sometimes feel that I need to be oh so serious all the time. (Which I don't do anyway, but I feel like I should) Basically sometimes I have loads of energy so yeah gotta have fun:) I am just in a way weird and crazy mood right now. I Love you guys. We have a lot of work to do so be good, work hard. the Stake President here always says that he wants Saints to play together, and pray together. I think that is True. This Wonderful work is True. Amen! Love, Elder Wilson

Hello! Thank you for the emails!! It has been a pretty good week! Some of the people are slipping more and more but there are some difficult circumstances. But one of our investigators is getting married in the next few weeks which I am WAAAAY Excited for!! Oh and We went on two exchanges in a row! That was interesting and for one I was in Aberystwyth again which is a Beautiful place. There were some big storms this week and the waves were really big:) Oh! Craziness!!! So Elder Chris Anderson? Well we got an Elder Here new from Albania and Elder Anderson served in his ward and when Elder Farrici was having visa issues but was set apart as a Missionary Elder Anderson was his companion! Elder Farrici is way good, and i am AMAZED at how fast he is learning English. He will do Great. That is good to hear about Mom's Birthday:) I thought of you a lot:) Hopefully you all start feeling better!!! We have a Busy week coming up again, and have interviews tomorrow so that should be good! So I have been reading about Josiah today in 2 Chronicles. He is Amazing, his dad was a bad guy but there is a phrase where it says something like Josiah SOUGHT The God of Israel, that is Powerful. Despite his rough upbringing The Light Of Christ rang True to him. I Love you all a lot, and am Grateful everyday for you. Smile Big, and i will too:) I Love you, I am Happy in The Service Of the God of Israel. Love you!!
