Hello Familia!
Glad to hear you guys made it to Idaho, Crazy to think that actually happened. Man I miss sophie so much! All the dogs here are super disgusting so you don't want to touch them. Speaking of storms, the worst storm to hit here happened over the weekend, it rained. People literally didn't come to church because it was raining. Its nice having near perfect weather here year round, but when the tiniest storms hit people thing the world is ending. This is just proof to me that without the occasional opposition in life we are not bettering ourselves. I can imagine grandma going crazy with sophie. Heres what you do: put sophie in grandmas bed at night. Problem solved. Haha oh man she would hate that. Its weird how peoples views of pets are so different.
I'm just glad we got everything sorted out and now I can begin the process of building back up. The biggest help was probably realizing that most of my perception of the situation was skewed. And it really helped getting an outside perspective. Im just glad we caught this because I got home and then was filled with terrible mission memories and chances are I wouldn't have come back.
Biggest lesson learned from all this craziness: If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. That's been applying to all aspect of this. I want to be good at Spanish but I've let myself get comfortable with it and I kind of just plateaued. Its amazing what a difference a positive outlook on things can change.
Funny moment of the week, we were looking for an address and we passed it so we had to turn around but the street was too tiny so we had to go to the light to make a U-turn. So were sitting at this light behind a huge truck and before we realized like a solid 5 minutes had passed. Turns out we were just sitting thre behind a parked truck haha. We felt like such idiots for sitting there getting mad at this truck. It was really funny.
Im not sure if other places do this but the Calafornia Los Angles Mission does this thing call Mini Missionary weekend. So youth who are older than 16 can get assigned to a companionship of missionaries for the weekend and they are missionaries with us. Our mini missionary was Alan, he was SO cool. He was 22 and preparing to serve a mission himself. He had some health problems and hes almost at the end of recovery and so he will be getting his mission call soon. He lived in the Hollywood ward that my companion served in last transfer so that broke the ice and it was a super cool weekend. I didn't get any pictures because we got stuck in traffic on the way there to drop him off and didn't have time for pictures. That was pretty much the week. Its been crazy busy! I cant believe another week has flown by.
Love you guys
Elder Wilson
