Hey everybody, well idk anything else about Bolivia. I was thinking I'd be going to the Embassy today, but I'm not, maybe tomorrow. Eld Ferrer has the lady that handles all the Visas in his ward and he has a cita with her tonight, so he's gonna find out when I'm going. The work is actually getting better in my area, we baptized a girl this week, named Joselym. And we have another girl this week, her name is Maribel. She's amazing, she left her job yesterday so she can come to church. And we are working with a guy named Juan Fernando. We met him last Thursday, and Friday morning he accepted to be baptized. But the problem is normally he’s only in town on weekends, cuz he's training to be in the DEA of Peru. But I’ve never met anyone so prepared. And its all thanks to a member friend in the DEA. He told us he sees him reading the BOM every night but never bothered asking him about it.We asked him after the first lesson how he was feeling…’’ITS TRUE’’, oh wow it was awesome, he said everything made perfect sense and no one had ever taught him like that. We challenged him to get baptized and he said ‘’congusto'’(with pleasure, get it?) But the thing that scares me is we don’thave a lot of time to teach him, and we are probably getting closed. But the thing is I know if we don’t baptize him, he’s going search out other Elders to help him… But I wanna do it.I'm really going to miss my ward here, not that many people come, but there are 5 or 6 super strong families that keep everything going. And they love the Elders so much, and I feel so bad cuz they give us all this stuff,but they don’t have very much money. So we just do service haha.Oh ya and… I HAVE A YEAR, or well, I will in a bit. We're having a little ho-down in our house, its gonna be a good time.

Mom-I hope you feel better, I really don’t need any white shirts yet. I'll let you know when I do.

Dad- ¡Felíz Día Del Padre! And good luck in France.

I don’t get to study anything, its really frustrating, we are always having to go into Lima in the morning. Kim-ya send me some pictures. I feel bad that my area is getting closed.

Valynn- Bolivia and Peru are pretty similar, but Santa Cruz is all jungle.

EE-I'm just gonna burn my shirt, and some ladys in my ward are making me a cake. Let me know what you're havin.

kk-keep me up to date on the baby. And yes I'm afraid the food will be worse over there.

Love you guys Elder Wilson

FAVORITE SCRIPTURE

2nd Nephi 15: 26-30
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth; and behold, they shall come with speed swiftly; none shall be weary nor stumble among them.

27 None shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken;

28 Whose arrows shall be sharp, and all their bows bent, and their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind, their roaring like a lion.

29 They shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry away safe, and none shall deliver.

30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea; and if they look unto the land, behold, darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof
