CANADA Week 45-June 5, 2018


The Legend himself. Elder Alejo! 

Salut da fam et les amis!!

Life is sweet here in Montréal! And sweaty haha. It has been getting up to like 85 degrees and higher these last couple of days, and it is SO humid! I never thought I would be ready for the snow again haha. But I love the changing of the seasons, and summer is beautiful in Montréal.

Elder James and I got to go on exchanges with Elder Brough (from Sherbrooke), and Elder Alejo (my Texan companion from the MTC) so it was pretty awesome. I got to stay here in our area with Elder Alejo, and it was a fun challenge to try and find my way around the area. My fam knows that I am the absolute WORST with directions, so I am sure you can imagine how it went haha. But we had some great learning experiences together, and Elder Alejo can make anyone laugh, so it was an incredible day. 

I also have been able to learn a bunch from the "old men" of our apartment. Elder Webb is going home in just a few weeks, and Elder Amichia is just a few steps behind him, so it has been awesome to hear some of their mission experiences. They also like to run in the morning, so life has been fantastic! Elder James has been awesome as well, and he has been helping me a lot with the transition to life here. He has spent pretty much his entire mission in this apartment, so he is an expert haha. 

And I just heard about the devotional/message that President Nelson shared, and how sweet is that! Ecoutez (listen to) the voice of the prophet my friends! He is one powerful link to the Lord, and all He wants to do is help us. The Lord oftentimes will ask a lot of us, but he always promises more than we could ever give. He gives us a challenge in the book of Malachi . . . "Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." (Malachi 3) Test him, and reap the rewards of your faith.

Sorry I don't have much more time, and Elder James made some bomb Haitian food that is waiting for us at the apartment haha. Love you all, and have some fun this week. Be devoted and find purpose in what you do. Make these next 7 days awesome!

Elder Wilson

Parking in Montréal is rough . . . . Yes we got another ticket :(

The man JOHNEL! He tries to go out with the missionaries every single day, and he loves the Lord. He is going on a mission soon, and he is going to be incredible.


We went on a late night rescue mission, because the sisters in our area got lost on a bus . . . So we went late night cruising with the 4 man brothers haha. We gave the sisters the other Elders car.

Our friend Odette made us Haitian food, and I almost died it was so good. Haitian food is magic!


We made some sweet tortilla chips and Elder Webb hooked us up with taco soup.

Our trash can smelt like the bathroom after Haitian food, so Elder James and I wrecked it with any cleaning chemical we could find until it wasn't awful haha. It took us like an hour.
