Week 33

Hey family. I just wanted to let you all know I love you and that this week has not been super exciting so this one will be a bit brief. My new companion and I are working but when I got here, there was literally nothing, no investigators, no work to do, and almost no references for future Investigators. This has been alot like what happened when I started my mission. I am going to have to do a lot of set up work over the next little while. By that I mean we need some organization, some help from the branch and a whole lot of help from the Lord, and a large new pool of investigators. The good news this week is that the FreeMason who I was teaching with Elder Read is going to be baptized this Saturday and two more of the investigators I found with Elder Scott have a baptismal date for the 23rd. My son is reaping the fruits of our labors! The worst problem I have seen in this area is a lack of diligence on the part of the past missionaries. The area book ( all the records of who you have been teaching and their progress) have been absolutely forgotten for at least 6 months. It made me think, if I was the Lord, I wouldnt have given those missionaries any of my children to teach, if they arent going to take good care and take good records, I will wait for somebody else. I hope I can show the Lord He can trust us with all the best because if not, I dont think we are going to have much success here. I am feeling happy and healthy and also I feel optimistic for the future of this area, just not super happy about the present situation. Time for a good fix up. Love you all Elder WIlson
