And in the mornin, I'm makin waffles

  Saw the smallest man in my life that wasn't a midget. King. To sum it up, this week was mostly just not working out for us. But by the end it was the best week ever. Just like every week. I went on an exchange with Sister Day! Finally! After years of waiting. It was great. I had a lot of fun and it was a good boost to get me through the rest of the week. I love sister Day a lot 🀭 I drew her a picture of the devil!! A lot of buildup of miracles was happening throughout the week and it seemed to all release  on Saturday night ! It was awesome. Nothing in specific but it was just a good night. Then we woke up  Sunday morning  and i was so very thankful for Sundays. More grateful than I've ever been before. Sundays are glorious and church was wonderful! I just loved being there and I hope our friends did, too! Finally, after a lot of weeks, our little 9 year old Edward came to church. He is my favorite kid in the branch and I was so overjoyed to see him walk into the ...

What's mine is yours and what's yours is ours

  Let's switch it up this week, shall we? From now on all of you get to send me a weekly email, spiritual thought and good pictures included. See how it feels.  My email this week will consist of the following... Sister Bishop made a hacky sack. It is full of lentils. My favorite child moved away and now I have to mail him my tiny hymn book. I am going to eat lots of cereal this week!! So pumped! Also just ate zaxbys for free! It needed more sauce! We had tacos at a park with Ramon! A long lost member reached out to us and has a teenage daughter who really wants to get baptized! We met with her this week right after her dentist appointment and she gave us candy she got from her dentist. She got her braces off and a baptismal date in the same day!! We got back in touch with my old friend EfraΓ­n and he told us he'd still like to be baptized so we gave him a date for baptism too!! I drew a picture of Jesus for the sisters friend Geo and he loved it! And it happened to be his birt...

You are a sad strange little man. And I pity you

  Sister Bishop told me that this week. I'm not sure I remember the context. Honestly she could've set it at any point this week and it wouldve made sense. At least the strange part wouldve. honestly the sad part is not applicable at all. I've been told my emails are fun to read. Not sure if that's staying consistent or slowly going downhill, but I must say this one will skyrocket today. All time best email coming up... We met with our friend Darwin. Honestly was a little nervous to meet with the guy, but I'll take what I can get because it's very hard to meet with Latinos in person. The reason I was a little worried was because last Sunday I shook his hand, he complimented my grip strength, and then asked if I went to the gym. Honestly it wasn't that weird. Let's make this clear, I dont go to the gym because we're not allowed to as missionaries. Anyway we met with Darwin and he just talked about how much he wants to serve those around him. He is awe...

The fuuuuuun has arriiiiived

  Wow you guys, I feel so good today. Feel like running a hundred miles and bouncing off the walls with joy. That's what happy meals really do to ya. I just get em for the toys. Now I have a mini McDonald's play place!! Well let's run it back I guess! Let's see... tuesday... wednesday... thursday... I cant remember anything we did. BUT one of our members that we had been helping get to church gave us 200 dollars!! He told us he wanted to feed us but he's moving to new York, so we drove a half hour to his house, he handed us 200 dollars and we told him "nooo esto es demasiado!" And he told us "no puedes comer chino." He left on saturday. Everyone please say thank you to our good man Moises for me. Peep the photo below to see his face! Had my first interview with President Cox. He's a cool dude! Then we got chickfila luau and their sweet potato fries are sooooo busssss. I bought a Spiderman piΓ±ata and today we demolished it at the church after ...

Ooo stuffed crust

  Ernesto got baptized!! Yippee for him!πŸ™‚ The last lesson we taught him was about the prophet President Russel M. Nelson, and we showed him a picture and Ernesto goes "woah. Bro is ancient."πŸ—£ Then at dinner he did the griddy!πŸ’― I love teaching nine year olds.  We get to bond over Minecraft and legos together! We were having dinner at one of the members house. Sister Bishop and I were sharing the spiritual thought, and at the end she goes, "I'd like to end with a quote I read in your bathroom," and I just started busting up laughing and couldn't stop. The members just sat and stared us and I almost peed I was laughing so hard. You just had to be there. 🐦‍πŸ”₯ Oh and we had zone conference! President Cox casually hit a 3 then taught us about the importance of obedience. The GAM is dead. Welcome to the Georgia Atlanta Mission. I ate a really good mango like 5 minutes ago. -xoxo sista Wilson

Tuxedo dress up party!!

  Transfers happened and I said adios to my amigo Sister Wade. She's just sister Wade now lol. That's a joke. Saw all the goats at transfers, said goodbye to a lot of my old comps and awesome people πŸ₯² And my new companion is HERMANA OBISPOOOO IM SO EXCITED. she's the goat. πŸ™ˆ The week flew by because we were just scrambling and talking to a bunch of goated people that we don't have time for. It's a good problem to have too many cool people in your teaching pool, but a problem nonetheless. Missionary work is getting figured out and Sister Wilson is getting a grip. Don't you worry. We did some service on saturday and helped our friend clean out her house that she inherited from her uncle. Her uncle has a lot of crap. Also a lot of weapons. Pday feels sooooo good. Haven't had a nice relaxing pday in a while and I am so happy. Breaks are good for you!! Former Elder Nilsen, now Manuel, crashed our pickleball today. But I didnt even get to play with him (lame). P...

Yes that's what happens when water gets cold

  My comps last week in the mission! I finally get to kill someone on purpose 😈 We started off the week with a good old zone council. Basically our goated zone leaders just planned it all, and I hucked airheads at people the whole time. Then we went on an exchange right after with our dear hermanas in Thomaston. Don't tell president I totally forgot we exchanged and forgot to write about it in my weekly email to him. πŸ™Š Sister Malcom came here, my phone didn't work again, and we had year-long lessons and ate tons of food with our friends. They just keep feeding us until we explode.🀰 The rest of the week was just full of awesomeness. For example, we had a lesson with Felipe and his wife, they pulled up to church last week after we gave him the church information in the parking lot. They have a teeny tiny fluffy puppy that I got to play with for a few minutes. Definitely a highlight. We went back to felipes apartment complex and saw one of our new friends outside and she was li...
