Mondays are great days for me.  I love hearing from Elder Wilcox.
A quote from Austin:  "The church is true! The Book of Mormon is the word of God, and the Lord answers prayers!!! He continues to do it every day out here in the mission field."
In the letter I wrote him I asked him a few questions.  He really liked the idea of questions and answers.
A few of the questions I asked were:
What does he do on p-day or preparation day?
His response:  P-days are one of the most busiest days of the week.  First they study, and then at around 10:30 they do email, and then grocery shopping.  They then have a p-day activity at the church, and then hurry and get ready to go out and teach the restored gospel. They play a lot of dodgeball.
Do the members feed you every night?  
His response: 3-4 times a week  (our Utah missionaries are spoiled)
What was your favorite conference talk?
His response:  President Henry B. Eyring's talk
Austin is studying Jesus the Christ and in his words  ITS INSANE.  He said it is a hard book to read, but is determined to finish reading it while he is on his mission.
Elder Wilcox is doing well.  I can feel his missionary spirit in our home.
 I am grateful for my Savior and his atonement.  I am blessed to be a part of this wonderful gospel.
Continue praying for his safety and for the spirit to guide him in his efforts.
