Hey Famille!
This past week was pretty good. A little long, but also super great.
Counting our two mangez vous that we have today, that will make seven mangez
vous in seven days.
On the subject of food, I've learned quite a bit about the human body
during my mission. When I eat terribly, I feel terrible. When I eat well, I feel
very well. When I eat way too much, no matter if it's healthy of not, I feel
terrible. That's something that members in general don't understand about
missionaries. They are just like normal humans. But members normally think that
missionaries need to gorge themselves with food, so they give us giant portions
expecting us to eat everything. But I have found that this can be rather
handicapping at times....ha But despite that, I really am grateful for the
members that really do take time to give us food to eat. It's great to get to
know the members.
So, with this week being transfers, we kind of knew that I would leave, so
we had a Rendez-vous with Mehdi one last time to find out why he stopped the
lessons and also to say good bye and exchange info so we can stay in contact.
Mehdi is seriously super cool!! It's sad to me that he stopped with the
missionary lessons, but I am glad that he still wants to be our friends. He has
super amazing standards and will go on to do great things.
The Fitt's did a little Tours trip to check the apartments there (that's
where Elder Smith is at), and Tours is known for their giant Tours Religeuse.
The Fitt's brought Elder Godfrey and I each our own Tours Religeuse, which still
hasn't been eaten. We're hoping to finish them by tomorrow.
This week we taught a young, 20 year old guy, Richard, and his girlfriend.
The way Richard was found was a complete miracle. A couple weeks ago, we were
walking down a street at night and a pizza delivary guy asked us to use our
phone because he forgot his. So we let him use it. After he gave the pizza to
the person, he then gave us his number and told us that he had talked with the
Elders in Togo, and that he'd like to talk with us sometime. When we had the
rendez-vous, he brought his girlfriend with him. We taught them about the
Restoration and they seemed like they really were touched. We set up a return
rendez-vous with him.
So, here is the news, after six months, I'm leaving La Rochelle. I'll be
going to Le Mans, which is just east of Angers. It's in the Tours Zone!! So
Elder Smith will be my Zone Leader, how cool is that?
Today, the Fitt's fed us, they did a "birthday dinner" for me before I
leave, even though I won't be here for my birthday. They also gave me an Apron
for when I cook!! :) Sister Fitt has a super great memory. I've really
appreciated getting to know them. They've basically become like another mother
and father to me, out here in the mission field.
So, I have a question, I know there are many Wilson's, but are we, by
chance, related to an Edward Donald Wilson who is married to a Lynn Ann? They
are a new couple in the mission, I haven't met them yet, but I was just
curious.
I love you all!! :)
-Elder B. Stanton Wilson
