This week has been pretty good for the most part! I got super sick
twice, which wasn't very fun, but I'm ok now! Whew! I don't have any
super funny/crazy/good stories from this week so this will probably be
a shorter email. Monday night the Mismash's fed us! They're the
funniest couple I've ever met haha. We had the best turkey burgers,
then had some dove chocolate coconut shake thing for dessert. SO.
GOOD. Brother Mismash tried to get us a dinner appointment for
Thursday night, but couldn't find anybody, so they insisted on feeding
us again! Haha it wasn't raining so we all decided to go eat outside
at the "park". We carry all the food outside to this little field with
a single picnic table at center and get settled. Just one picnic
table, middle of the field. As the meal goes on, we come to find out
this was a dog park! There were 6-8 dogs there romping around hahaha
they were super fun! We enjoyed that a ton haha.
So we don't have very many people to teach here, we have 3 people in
our area book. Which means we spend most of our time out contacting
people! More often than not we get rejected, but it's amazing to see
how the Lord will lead us to the one prepared person as we prayerfully
seek them. This week we found one person (Ramona) that was halfway
interested in learning more! We had been out for an hour or so,
walking to check on a former. The former had moved years ago, so that
was a bust. We had been talking with people (more trying to talk with
them) all down Connecticut, praying that we would find the one!
Outside the formers house was a bus stop with one little Spanish lady
sitting there. I felt prompted to talk with her, but kept walking! We
checked on the former, they didn't live there, etc. Thankfully, the
lady was still sitting there when we walked back! So we sat with her
and talked about the Book of Mormon! She was super sweet (because
she's foreign lol)! We prayed with her and asked if she would be
interested in meeting with missionaries. She gave us quite a few
excuses haha but after much persistence, we got her information!
Unfortunately she's Spanish speaking so we had to pass her. But still!
We got somebody that wanted to meet with missionaries! WOOOOOOO. It
was wonderful! Haha talking with people here is terrifying, but I've
never felt more like a missionary! I love every minute of it.
Saturday morning we helped a family in the ward move! We had quite a
few people turn out to help load the truck, but not many people helped
unload haha. Their new apartment didn't have an elevator. We slept
really well that night haha.
Sorry this email is pretty lame haha we haven't done anything super
crazy this week! Today we're going to tour the Capitol with our
roomies, then going to lunch. It's going to be great! Lots of pictures
to come! Oh, I got the package that the YW sent this week! Give them
all huge hugs and thank yous from me!! And remember the Ford family?
They were in our ward a few years back, they taught Jeremy's primary
class? They came into the VC this week! Super fun!
Well, that's about all I have to say this week! I'm loving the
challenge of the city and loving sister Williams! Cynthia might be
getting baptized this weekend (they've been meeting with her for a few
months now, I've only met her a couple times!). She came to church
yesterday and loved it, she just walked up to a mid-singles group (our
ward is also the mid-singles ward btw) and they were all best friends
within minutes. She's going to be such a great member! So that's
pretty exciting! I guess they met her out street contacting, so there
is hope for us haha! 1/1000 street contacts turn into baptisms, and
there are how many thousands of people in DC? Haha.
I love you all! Have a great week!
Sister Wilson
Bird nest outside the VC that we're watching!

Last Pday, the Whites took all of us VC sisters to five guys for lunch! YUM.
Service selfie
This morning we went and got a VIP tour of the Capitol. So. Cool.
They're doing renewal work on the dome, so it'll be covered in
scaffolding probably my entire mission but hey! SO. COOL
Not very good at jumping pics lol
They're restoring all the walls to the original paint/etc, and it's beautiful.
WOOP
George Washington is buried under here. I think.(Nope)
We couldn't open the doors or we'd get arrested in seconds, but we snuck
back and peeked through the crack! When the President makes his
inauguration speech, he walks down the stairs (the ones we walked down
to get here) and stands out here. This is his view. #MURICA 🇺🇸)
Found good ol Brigham!
Walked through a ton of the underground tunnels! SO COOL!
