Family,
I am traveling on Tuesday and I dont know when my
pday will be when i get to the mission so here it is.
This week, we committed our
investigator, Augustino, to baptism. This was a big step for him since he had a
difficult time with the concept of us having priesthood authority. I am busy
packing.
Packing to leave the MTC is much harder than I would have thought at
the beginning of my time here. I'm sorry i dont really have much to say (though i
am sure that ya'll will have lots when i call on Monday). I was reading the Book of Mormon in the Book
of Mormon and I had the thought that pretty much all of the Nephite nation was
wicked and yet they chose one of the few righteous among them to be their
leader (Mormon). This is just a testament that even if someone is doing wrong and
evil, they still recognize good and the fact that those people have extra
power/blessings. This may be part of the reason that Jesus said, "Let your light
so shine before man, that they may see your good works".
I am excited to be
flying out to Brazil to begin the main part of my mission. We did Skype with
native Brazilians and I was able to understand most of what they said. So, i am
feeling pretty good about my Portuguese but i am sure that will change once i
get to Brazil. I got your package today with the kool-aid in it and it will be
much appreciated in Brazil. I also received the journals from Uncle Denny. Tell
him thanks from me or send me his email so i can express gratitude myself. Also,
thank you for the healthy snacks they came at just the right moment because
after a time there is only so much candy that you can eat and when many of your
relatives send you candy it ends up piling up. All of my district has been well fed with the stuff sent to me. It is really nice of everyone.
got to go.
Love,
Elder Brett Wilson
