Loving Learning

Hey fam!

so i do hope you all appreciate that i try to make some catchy titles to my letters it does take time to develop and sometimes its one and off, but ya get what ya get.

this week was a wonderful week. we had two amazing meetings. we met up with pres. agazzani and the stake pres. the room was so full of amazing priesthood holders. Pres. agazzani receives revelations for this mission i have no doubt. he has this new plan of working with all members less active and active to help more people be baptized into the only true and living church of Christ. it was amazing we got so much revelation and the work is going to explode!!!! also on weds we had our interviews with Pres. Agazzani. He is amazing he is super personal which i love. shows his love and concern for every missionary. loves the work. wants to get things done and is willing to give it all to have it done. he says that he is not a man of words but with the spirit any man can be a man of words because it is the Lord speaking through them. 

Nestor got the aaronic priesthood on sunday it was amazing he is so excited and is going to baptize his wife mirna on saturday. i would send you pictures but this cyber doesn't connect to my camera. we also found 3 youth who want to be baptized!!! a member who was baptized in secret and was afraid to tell her family got the push and stood up and now is giving us referrals and is bringing so many people to church. just shows how if one of us opens up our voice how many people can be brought into the Lord's fold.

I am doing well. today i listened to a really cool talk by elder holland called 'Remember Saul's Wife'. it talks about having faith and hope for the future and forgetting the past and forgiving all including yourself. that before was a difficulty for me but now through prayer, and fasting, and studying the scriptures the Lord has strengthened me so much. 

sorry i don't have a ton of time today but i love you all and pray for you daily. with you all well and have an amazing week. this is god's work!!!! this is his church. the book of mormon is true.

Love,

Elder Wilson

New President Same Vision

HELLO!

Saturday morning Pres. and Hna Callan started on their flight back to Utah.
Friday afternoon Pres. and Hna Agazzani and family landed here in beautiful Paraguay.
They are from Cordoba, Argentina. Have five kids of which 3 came with them and the other 2 are finishing this year of school before coming out. I will admit that the calling most talked about in our pension is to become the AC (assistant to the children) we would be baptizing all the time. teaching lessons at soccer practices and birthday parties would be amazing. Plus a lot easier to find families! hahaha i did have the opportunity to talk to Pres. Agazzani on the phone last night. a very energetic and social guy.  He doesn't speak any english or guarani so he had some difficulty saying my companions name and our area Ka´aguy Rory. don't worry one day i'll teach you all how to say it. We get to meet them all on thursday for a zone meeting for a couple of hours. i'm super excited!!

well this last week we were able to see a whole bunch of miracles and some great experiences. we went on divisions with an area called libertad. I was with Elder White from Logan, Utah, and my companion was with Elder Naef from Arizona City, Arizona. Me and Elder White had a great day found a lot of future baptism and wonderful people. A great elder with a wonderful desire to learn and to grow. Elder Naef is a new Elder and on his 6th day in Paraguay he got to go on divisions. From what i heard after it was a pretty fun experience. He is struggling on his spanish which will come along and my companion did the we gotta get somewhere walking speed for much of the day which was something new for Elder Naef and sounded like a great experience. Both wonderful elders who are going to see miracles.

Just so you guys all know there are 3 walking speeds. slow while walking with a contact. normal when looking for people. and fast when you need to get somewhere now. just so you know my normal speed before the mission was slower than the slow speed.

The biggest miracle this week was Nestor and Mirna. we have been teaching them for the last 2 months or so. they have gone to church multiple times and we were just lost on what else could be do to help them be baptized. we had taught everything and they had received multiple answers. we were working with the bishopric and our ward mission leader. the ward all loves them. so we got to the point after our lesson saturday that we were thinking we may need to stop visiting them for a bit. our visit on saturday we talked about everything and it just ended with me saying "Nestor, I love ya. You need to be baptized. Lets go i'll fill up the font right now." Now sunday after sacrament. we go and talk to them and they say that they have an announcement. In our heads all that we are saying is please please help them recognize the answer that they have received and say Yes. They said "we have decided to take the step and we want to get baptized on saturday." on the outside we were very happy and excited but inside it was the fourth of july firework finally! what a huge blessing! we learned that when we give everything literally everything that is when the Lord steps in and lends his helping hand. that night at a FHE he told the other investigators and the members his CONVERSION STORY!!!! it was so amazing.

The Lord really works miracles, one of those million is that Nestor and Mirna are getting married and baptized on Saturday. I can't wait. I am also learning about the atonement so much and repentance. i am truly becoming converted and learning how to live my life to be the man that God wants me and expects me to be. I love this gospel. I love my savior. The church is true i have no doubt.

love you all!
