Well I am not really sure how to explain this week... I got letters this week from Gram and Papa, Daiza, Grandma and Grandpa, Brother and Sister Harrison, Daeneese, and Schmidts and I think that is it, most of them were sent at the end of August and for some reason I am just now getting them, but they were very much loved, so if you could tell all of them how much I appriciated them! I pray that Elisa is doing well and will continue to do well! She is such an amazing strength to me. Congrats to JoAnne and Juan for their home! I want pictures! As well as Linda and Joe, and Kalie and Jason! Sounds like all is exciting at home!
Elder Moon from Gram and Papa´s ward is great, and KC he told me to say hello, and asked how you were doing. Well it looks like my companion and I get to find a new home, the one that we are in we discovered loads of mold last night! Nasty! It has come back numerous times, so we might have to move. I kinda like the house though, it´s pretty fun. We went to a store called Mega Paca yesterday, I think Mom and Kaela would love it. I got this really great dress for basically 1.50 US Dollars, and a long sleeve shirt for about 2. So here they pronounce my name Wilcosh, and I love it! It is so great, Wilcosh by many people and Willie by many elders. Oh also Linda Pierce, that lived by us in the town house, her grandson is in my Zone right now. He is great, we got a picture together and he´s sending a copy to his grandma!
Also yesterday was cool! We had an aftershock of an Earth Quake! It felt so cool! I am not really sure how to explain it, it is a totally different feeling. My companion said that is one of the biggest she has ever felt here, but I thought it was small. We were talking to one of our investigators last night too, and he was telling us that there was one the other morning at about 4:30 and he had been up reading the Book of Mormon. He said because he was crossing his legs they were so asleep he couldn´t move, but knew that if he held the Book of Mormon he would stay safe. It was a really neat experience to see that The Book of Mormon can bring someone so much comfort! Funny thing is, is that we had no idea there had been an earth quake...we were sound asleep. haha!
So I have been thinking that I am going to dye my hair darker brown...It is really hard for me to do, but I am tempted hoping that I will look a little more Latina and the men in the streets will stop being such creeps all the time. What do you all think?
This week was pretty cool. We got new goals as a mission, one of which is to baptize 50 families next month, and 350 baptisms in January. I am so excited for this! Sadly one of the families we were going to have a wedding and the Dad was going to get baptized this coming week decided to get a bit drunk with his dad, so now they will just be getting married, and he will hopefully be baptized in a few weeks. It was a cool experience though because I had let the Sister barrow my jacket at church since she was freezing and she went home with it. We stopped by simply to get my jacket and she had been crying since she couldn´t get a hold of her Mom and didn´t know where to find us. It was so neat thinking that we were going to simply get my jacket, but really we were there because she was praying that we would help. And there we were! It is very neat to be apart of an experience like that! We have a lot of work to do, but we will find them. I can´t even explain how important members are in the work!
I know that Our Heavenly Father loves me and each one of you! We have a loving Savior that knows exactly how we feel, at all times. Yesterday when I was having a really hard time, my companion helped me realize that. D&C 6:22-23 is a scripture that I keep thinking about, and try to always remember. I have to have more patience with myself and put all my trust in the Lord and know all will be good, as long as I am doing my part. I love you all! Thank you for all of your support! I would really love it if you would keep me in your prayers, especially for safety and patience. I love you all, and know that our Heavenly Father loves you all, I pray that we will each come closer to knowing Him as we grow closer as a family. Have a great week!
SLY,
Hermana Wilcox
