Another week another dollar

Hey Ya'll, savage ducks just ate my french poodle.

We got some snow this week and it was funny to see everyone out here at like the world was going to end lol. buncha weenies!!

So this week was another splendid week! we had a zone conference which was great! its always cool to learn from president Salisbury. He has so much knowledge its no wonder he was called to be a mission president! He also told us who our new mission presidents were going to be. President and Sister Lindhart will be over our mission at the end of this June so we only have 6 months left with president and sister Salisbury. Though I'm excited to meet the new mission president I'm really going to miss President Salisbury! He is such a great guy and has done wonders for this mission!

This week we were able to get Danielle off of coffee which is super sweet because all they need now is an elevated interview and they are ready to be baptized. I love Them all so much and cant wait to see them enter into the waters of baptism. They have come such a long way and are doing great! This week Elder Stephens and I were also able to find a new family to teach so that's great as well! keep the prayers coming my way they are working really well! ;)

I also had the opportunity to go on an exchange with one of the zone leaders Elder Gould! it was a super fun exchange even though we froze our butts off walking everywhere in Huntington but We had some great lessons and were able to find some new people to teach there! He even taught me how to make ties! I'll have to send some pics next weeeeeeek :)

well for my Spiritual thought this week I wanted to talk about faith. What is faith? Faith is what gives us the motivation to act and is what helps us to start our journey on the path of righteousness. If we don't have faith we wont know where to start. Its like trying to build a house with out a foundation. In Alma 32: 21 we read: And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. So to have faith we don't have to know everything, we don't have to be the best of the best. we just have to believe that heavenly father knows whats best for us and trust that he will help us become the best that we can be. I know that having faith in Jesus Christ will bless our lives and will help each and everyone of us to live happier and more Christ-filled lives! Remember lean not unto your own understanding, but trust in god!! I love you all and hope you have a great week! stay warm out there!

Elder Wilson

P.s. I didn't take any pictures this week.. Ill have to repent and send more next week!
