Missionary Suitcase


So It has been a while since my last post but I am patiently waiting for the memory card so that the photos can be updated and added to, but Elder Wilson is still hard at work:) He is feeling like a little bit of a minority in Aurora; the majority of the population there is, well as he would say, DIVERSE! He has "30" investigators which is like "28" more than in Littleton. One is a young man from "NEPAL" who Elder Wilson enjoys playing soccer with but is not so hot about the "3 day counter yogurt with rice mixed in" served as a meal......UGGHHHH...Trying Times for sure:) He hung out with "Rocky" the mascot from the Colorado Rockies baseball team and did trampoline stunts....There were no charges to the medical card so I assume he came out "unscathed"! It seems that there is more "fellowshipping" involved in his new area and less "tracting" so that was a good change!! But transfers are coming up QUICK!! This next week! He is getting a new mission President this month..."ADIOS" PRESIDENT CHRISTISON......"HOLA" PRESIDENT MAYNES!!! Since you'll be packing up and moving again soon I thought I would offer a little MISSIONARY PACKING ADVICE:


SUITCASE-The desire to SERVE

DARK SUIT -Respect for the PRIESTHOOD

WHITE SHIRT-CLEANLINESS, WORTHINESS

TIE-Sense of HUMOR:)

BELT-An encircling LOVE

SOCKS-HUMILITY

SHOES-The ability to WORK

UMBRELLA-The protection of FAITH in PRAYER

HANDKERCHIEFS-Common SENSE:)

SEWING KIT-An understanding of REPENTANCE

SCRIPTURES-A knowledge of the TRUTH




Always remember ELDER WILSON that a properly prepared missionary is an effective missionary! Pack with a purpose; Both Temporally and Physically! YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB and as always WE LOVE YOU!!!
