I Made It!!
Aloha My Family and Friends!!!!! ive made it to hawaii and its very warm and humid here. my very first area that i am in is called Hon- West. its kind of in the city in honolulu. but the ghetto part of the city haha. but anyways my trainers name is elder garcia. he's kind of a goofy kid and we have completely different personalities but thats ok we get along pretty well. i met my new ward and they are all really loving people. they love to feed us. i had squid the other day and i almost threw it up haha. but it kinda makes it feel like home when i go to church everyone there is so nice. one of the elderly sisters in the ward reminds me of aunt kit. but anyways everything is going well and im in a walking area that has lots of hills so im hoping to shed a few pounds haha. we have a few investigators that we are teaching and they both have baptism dates so hopefully they can keep those. but we are going to continue teaching and see where that goes. if any of you guys feel the need you should definetly send some paper mail because i havent gotten any of that all week haha. but if you have the time to it would be very much appriciated. make sure you dont send it to the mtc though. my address is 1500 S. Beretania Street Ste 416. HI, Hon 96826. double check the zip code cause im not sure if thats right. but the address is also on my facebook and blog. and margo has the address to but yah if you have time you should totally send paper mail. if you right on dearelder.com send it to the above address. that works too and we can count that as paper mail. but anyways thats all i have time to write today but i love and miss all of you reading this letter. stay in touch...... oh yeah i forgot to say that im not used to the time difference yet. we're four hours behind all you guys haha!!!!!

ALOHA ALL MY WONDERFUL OHANA!!!!!!
Guess what today is the last letter that i'll be writting from the mtc. yeah im pretty stoked about that. I'll be in hawaii tomorrow!!!! YEAH BUDDY!!!! any ways i've had such an amazing experience here. so just a couple of things before my time is up on here. first..... our second lesson with Judy was money. she told us that here and her husband did what we asked and they attended church on sunday. when we visited with her. there was just kinda a glow to her. she seemed so happy. she is reading the scriptures again and praying every night and morning with her husband. we taught her about the plan of salvation and everything went great. im kinda bummed that was the last time we got to teach her cause we really made a connection with her, and im sure we will with all our investigators. she told us that she would continue to read, pray and going back to church and that her main goal was that she was going to be sealed to her family in the temple.... is that awesome, i think so!
So another investigator we had his name was Junichi.. he was very very asian might i add. so the first time we taught him it was so hard cause he didn't even know about god cause he was part of the Shin Tu religion. so the first time we met we tried to teach him about god and a little bit about the restoration of the church. he wasnt interested and kept telling us all about his religion. but we did get a return appointment. so the second meeting we had we taught him more about the restoration and he seemed kinda interested so we felt like we were getting somewhere. we kept trying to get him to pray with for us but he just wouldn't. so we continued to pray. The third lesson he told us that he felt really comfortable with us and that he felt as if he could trust us.... which was a good thing. he started to be a little bit more receptive to what we were talking about but still didnt show a whole ton of interest. So on our last visit was really when it started to get awesome. so before we got there me and my companion were talking about how frustrated we had been with him and that he just isn't listening to anything we are saying so we said a prayer that Junichi would especially feel the spirit today and his heart would be softened. so when we got there we talked for a bit. and he asked us if we would pray. so we did and at the end of the pray he told us that he had been reading and that he prayed and he knew what we were telling him was true. and he then said i know this is our last visit but you two have been such a great example to me and im going to keep praying and reading and do all that i can to come closer to god. it was awesome and he prayed at the end of the lesson in chinese. so cool!!!
Anyways thats all the time i have today but i'lll write when i get to hawaii. oh dont send anymore packages or letters to the mtc. send them to the mission home in hawaii until i get a new address. i love all of you BYE!!!!!!!

OHANA
Aloha family!
so tomorrow only one more week here in the mtc. its been awesome but im super excited to get to hawaii. I've learned so much here and the spirtit is so strong. so like two weeks ago we had this thing called TRC. its where we teach people who sign up to be fake members but sometimes they really are in active members or not members at all. So anyways me and my awesome companion elder melville were assinged to teach an in active member named judy. she was really inactiver so we were kinda nervous. so we went in planning on teaching her the first lesson and one thing ive learned out here is that sometimes you go in there teaching one thing and then it can change. so we got in there and started talking to her and just kinda listening to her and i got the feelilng that we should teach her about the blessings that come reading the book of mormon praying and excersing your faith. The spirit was so strong and my companion resited the first vision to her and we all just started to cry. ive never felt the spirtit as strongly as i did at that time. it was awesome. we commited or invited her to come to church with us read and pray about the book of mormon and she did. it was so cool. So then me and Elder Melville left and we just went somewhere quite outside to study and we both got the feeling that we should teach her more about the plan of salvation....i say more cause she is an inactive member and she already new a little about it. not even five minutes later she somehow found us outside and asked us if we could teach her about the plan of salvation. it was awesome. so we get to teach her on tuesday and hopefully things go well. Anywayss guess who got made ZONE LEADER!!! you guessed it, me and my boy elder melville. i was so surprised and its just for a week but it feels really good. lets see...... oh my best friend sam came into the MTC this week and he's in my district and in my resident hall so thats been really cool! i dont know what else to really say. i love it here i think ive probably gained like ten pounds and i finally got leid hahaha. but i guess we'll get a ton of lei's when we get off the flight. well i love all of you and i miss you all. keep writting and i'll keep sending paper mail. alex lani sara marcus i still havent heard from you so step up your game!!!!
I LOVE MY OHANA!!!
LOVE ELDER WILSON

Aloha Family
So i miss you guys. im doing one super big letter because i dont have a ton of time to write but i made it through the first day here. it really isnt as bad as i thought. everyone here is super nice and so welcoming. and the spirit here is so strong. So my companion elder melville is super cool. it makes things alot better i think to have someone here you can talk to. ive already learned so much here in this past week. probably way more than i think i did in all four years of seminary. you guys should all write me though cause its been a week and i only got one letter. it wasnt even from someone in the family. haha so get to work guys. Margo can you make sure people know they can write me on dearelder.com. thats probably the easiest way while im here in the mtc unless they want to send packages. all they have to do is type in my address and write the letter. it gets here the same day they write the letter too. dont have a lot of time to write but im sure i'll have more later this week. send letters guys i'd love to here from you. oh and pictures would be awesome so i can show off how cool my family is!!!!

MTC..Here I Come!!
Chancy entered the MTC on Wednesday, August 31st. The whole "dropping off" experience has changed since the rest of the Wilson Crew were missionaries. Now, you wait in your car until it's your turn to "drop off" your missionary. There is another full-time missionary waiting at the curb to be the escort, help with luggage and take you where you are supposed to go for orientation.
When they pulled up to the curb, they were met by Chancy's escort-his childhood friend, Ian Cooper. I'm sure it was nice to be greeted by a familiar face!
Chancy wrote a brief letter to his mother. It said that the MTC was OK but he was ready to leave and to get on to Hawaii. Big surprise!
Getting ready to go.

On August 16th, Chancy went to the Bountiful Temple to receive his endowments, in preparation for his mission. He was there with his Mom, older brothers, Raymond, Boris (wife Kim), and Alex (wife Lani). While there, Alex did the temple work for their brother, Jeff, who passed away a year ago.
