LAST EMAIL

Hey Everyone, This is officially my last week as a missionary. It's kind of weird to be honest, I don't think it's actually set in. This week was a little bit more chill than the previous weeks. We actually stayed in Bristol, so I got adequate rest. We mainly have just been gearing up for transfers next week. Reflecting on the past 2 years, I have realized something very simple. BECAUSE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS TRUE, IT WILL ALL WORK OUT. Whatever you may be going through, it will work out. It's hard to explain, but it just will.  If you are looking for a reason to leave the church or draw farther away from the Savior, you will find it. If you are looking for a reason to have faith and stay in the church, you will find it. The question is, what are you looking for? Thanks everyone for the emails, support, and prayers. If you want my phone number or to come to my Homecoming talk, send me a message on messenger! Elder Wilhelmsen

While street contacting, we were in the middle of talking to someone who was Muslim, and a guy came up and started cussing us out. It was pretty cool because the Muslim guy stood up for us and made this guy leave. Some of the kindest people I've ever met are Muslim We woke up Thursday and had to drive 5 hours to make it to a District Council down in St Austell which is a very pretty area. We had to be back to Bristol that...

NOT IN THE AREA

Hey Everyone, This has been a crazy week! The last two weeks and this upcoming week.  We leave Monday night after our meetings and don't get back until Thursday night. On Tuesday I was back in Merthyr Tydfil the Promised Land. I was able to have a lesson with one of my good Friends Josh while there and got Llanfaes, the world's best ice cream. We then drove and I got dropped off in Blackwood. They didn't have a mattress so I slept on the bare wood floor for 2 nights. It was so fun being in Blackwood. We didn't have a car so we bussed and were able to talk to so many people. Unfortunately, I destroyed my neck sleeping on the wood floor While street contacting, I told a lady that I was from the United States and she said she always wanted to go. When I asked what part, she said "Canada". Needless to say, I was speechless. We had another Zone Conference this week. I realized as I applied what I learned, that the more specific in prayer and in questions, the more ...
