For everyone at home that got sick I am very sorry!  Sickness has been going around like crazy here because of how cold it has been, it is a very different kind of cold than we have in Utah, but I am not really sure how to explain it.  This week I have heard the statement "We are very allergic to the cold"  or I get asked "Are you allergic to the cold"  I honestly had no idea that it was possible to be allergic to cold.  Learn something new everyday?  Not really convinced still that you can be, but I will just keep smiling each time I hear it, because it just makes me smile! I am so amazed with the strenght that each of you have, I for some reason am slow (tarbaby if I may) and have to do things the hard way to learn sometimes.  Mom you always do so wonderful with your lessons!  That sound like an amazing talk.  If I have time this week I will find some stuff to add, I`d love to add something if I might:-) Gram and Papa, I am so sorry that you had to put Bubba down this week!  I like to think that they will be with us in the next life as well, because Gretta was another part of the family as well.  How is everyone doing at home? Everyone feeling better? How are the rest of the families on both sides?  Grandma and Grandpa Wilcox can e-mail me too.  This week in the life of Hermana Wilcox...Everyone and I mean everyone had Michael Jackson on all week long, it was super strange.  Also everyone is starting back to school this week, they go from January to October straight here.  Mom, Laura said that you can send things back with her, you might have to pay an extra baggage fee of 25 dollars or something, so I am not really sure.  I will get her number for you.  This last week we had a reunion with the leaders from each ward, and missionaries all together with the Stake President for the Plan of the Area, from the Area 70.  That was super different, seeing how things get planned from the area 70, but super cool.  Then we were also told missionaries especially sisters have to have a member with them each night after  6, so we are working on that.  And a priesthood holder has to make sure we make it into the house safely.  Wowza.  So investigators that we have real quick.  Trivett is 13 years old and Hna Treviño and I taught his Dad once before transfers.  We went back after transfers and I asked if his sons would like to join us.  Trivett is amazing!  He is such a smart youngman and reminds me a lot of Jackson, it is super weird.  But we asked him last night if he would be baptized this weekend and he said yes!  He has gone to all of the activities in the church and all of the meetings each Sunday and loves it.  For a young men's activity he said he would give a talk on faith and did it.  And it making a lot of new friends, it is so great!  We just need to talk to his Mom now, she is a nurse and is constantly working!  She told his Dad something that stopped him from progressing for now, and his Dad told his Mom that Trivett could chose whatever he wanted to do.  Trivett told us last night that he feels really good in the church and wants to keep going and learning and he told his Mom that and she was okay with it.  So now we just need her permission.  Then Gustavo Lopez.  He was in our Carpeta and hadn't been visited in months so we went to figure out why.  He is awesome as well and said he wants to be baptized, so tonight we are going to give him the date of the 27th.  Then Familia Guerrero they were a reference from a member.  I will have to tell you more about them next week.  Also Mom my companion goes home the 21st of Feb.  We have changes the 20th of Feb.  Pretty crazy.  Also for some reason everyone keeps telling me I am going to train next change, we`ll see what happens, ha!  Well I love you all, and I am so excited for all of the great things to come!  Keep smiling and working hard, and know that your Heavenly Father truely loves you all!  I was going to say something else but just forgot, haha. 
Have a Super Sparkly Day!

¡Feliz Cumpleaños! I want to help others get to their missions or on their missions knowing how much it will help them, and our brothers and sisters all over the world waiting for this message!  Well this week I looked for shoes yesterday, but for some reason I have HUGE feet.  Haha it is pretty hard to find shoes my size here, it is really pretty funny. I tower over many people here, which is really weird, so clearly my feet are larger as well. This year for my birthday I am pretty sure I will be in this area still, but with a new companion.  I am killing off my companion right now (which means she is going home this change).  She is from Honduras, and we are doing great.  Weird enough I knew I was going to get her as a companion.  About five days before changes I looked at Hna. Treviño and said we are going to have changes and Hna. Cuellar is going to be my companion.  She laughed and said I was just thinking that!  Sure enough she is my companion.  She is great!  Very quiet at times, but I don´t mind.  She is willing to laugh and helps me with my Spanish which is good.  I think she has been a sister that has changed a lot in her mission, because I have had a couple of sisters ask me how it is going, and were worried.  But she is great!  We can all change so much, I surely have a lot to change, so I think it is important to just love.  Mom and Dad both told me that before I came out, and Dad told me if I ever get frustrated with a companion find a way to serve them, shine their shoes, do something.  That is exactly what we should be doing anyway, serving them, so I thank you both for your advise!  I am not sure what else you would like to know about her, so ask if you want to know more:-) Well we had cleaning checks this week and we got 100%!  What up!?  Turns out I am a clean person, who´d of thunk?  That is all I will say about that right now.  Funny story of the week we were knocking doors and a group of maybe 10 year old boys, 4 of them, see us and say Hey Baby I love (lub) you.  Really, starting off young...But I have come up with a new game, many people will say weird things to us in English, so if we feel safe around them we are going to ask them a simple question in English.  So far they just look at us weird and laugh. A recent convert moved to Nicaragua this week, and we had our last lesson with her and her kids.  It was really hard to say good bye, and she thanked me for all I have done to help her and her kids, and was bawling when she gave me a hug.  It made me want to work that much harder knowing that I actually am helping people here, even by doing just the little bit that I can, and trying my hardest to always have the love of Christ with me.  Elder Christopherson is coming next week!  All of the missions in the city get to go, I am so excited.  I was so excited to see and talk to Daneese!!! But we were told this morning that President doesn't want us talking to other missions and wants us studying in the Book of Mormon in the chapters that we have for that morning, which is great and I will do it.  Maybe wink from a distance!  But it will be great hearing him speak!  We had a safety meeting this morning and I just thought I would remind to not put anything online that would hint to where I am.  And if you get a phone call ever asking for money because they have me, call president Brough immediately before doing anything.  I am so grateful to be here, and so grateful for each of you!  My Heavenly Father has truly blessed me with amazing people in my life!  We have a family and a 14 year old we want to baptize this month, but I will share more information about them next week.  Pray that they will feel of the Saviors love and know this is the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and will know they need to be baptized.  I love you all, and can´t thank you enough for all of your support!  Hope you all have an AMAZING week!!!
Have a super Sparkly Day!
