¡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!
SLY,
Hermana Wilcox
