Hey Everybody,

My time is running short so I will be quick. Uiha has been sweet! It's kind of the same as Ha'afeva in regards that there ain't nobody here, but my companion, Elder Leakehe, and I have been trying hard to find people to teach.  There are 2 towns on Uiha, about a 30 min walk away from each other, Uiha and Felemea.  We may have a family to teach in Felemea. Uiha also has insane sunsets.

Right now I'm actually in Vava'u. We have our mission tour tomorrow so we took a boat to the main island and then took the super nice new boat to Vava'u which was about 4 hours away. It's way cool to be up here and get to visit Vava'u one last time before I'm done.

Time has absolutely flown by these last 2 years. I can honestly say it has been the hardest time of my life. But it's also been the most I've ever learned in my life. I really am going to miss Tonga and the people and the lifestyle. 

I would like to end with my testimony that I know that the Gospel is the key to true happiness. God loves us, and though we will all face trials and tribulations we will see God's plan for us, in his time and not ours. I know that God has inspired a prophet today and that the keys of the Priesthood are on the earth today. The Heavens are opened and miracles are still among us.  I testify of the truthfulness of the Church and the happiness we receive as we join the Lord's true church. 

I've been amazingly blessed to serve here in Tonga and have the blessing of sharing the gospel. I love you all and am grateful for the support and help that you have given me these past two years. The name is on the pin but it's also on the heart!

Ofa atu,

Hey family and friends, 

It's been the life out here on the outer islands of Ha'apai. I just got my transfer call yesterday to leave Ha'afeva and I'm going to another island, Uiha. We caught the mission boat to the main island, which is why I can email. It's really sad to be leaving Ha'afeva. There were a lot of people I learned to love there and a lot of good work was accomplished on that island. 

I'm excited to go to Uiha and work on that island. I have heard that there is a lot of work to be done out there. I will still be living the outer island life for sure.

I want to share my love for all of you and also my testimony. I know that God lives and loves us. It was a great experience to be out in Ha'afeva and I saw  a lot of miracles. I know that the heavens are open and it's only through faith in Christ that good happens and we are happy.  This is  my last transfer I'm going to try and finish really strong this last 6 weeks. 

Random things:

- I ate a shark.

- We had 3 people at church 2 weeks ago and a SOLID 2 people last week. My comp and I ran sacrament, then we both gave testimonies. Ghandi motu life.

- I've been playing a lot of tennis and my forehand is on fire.

- I've eaten fish like crazy

- Dang, one transfer left. 

- The sea was absolutely terrible when we came in from Ha'afeva. I'm grateful God blessed me with not being seasick.

- Umm, 6 weeks left.

We have mission tour in 2 weeks so I think I'll be emailing one last time before I'm done.

Ofa atu,

Elder Wilson
