Elder Wilcox has a new companion. Elder Webb, he is from Logan Utah and has been in the mission field for 14 months. This is Austin's 2nd companion in Waco.
Austin has been out for 16 weeks now! I keep waiting for it to be easier. I think of my 2 missionaries quite often. Little things through the day will bring back fond memories of my mother in law, who is a missionary in the spirit world, and my son. I know his grandma is there with him, as well with the rest of us. She is very proud of her grandson. He is her first grandchild to serve a mission. She was there when he filled out his mission papers. She was in the spirit world when he received his call.
Elder Wilcox loves the gospel of Jesus Christ, and his atonement. Alma 7:11-13 and in Preach My Gospel chapter 3, lesson 2 - the atonement, all that is wrong in life, can be made right through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
Alma 32- the seed is planted. Austin loves being a missionary. He still has good days and still has bad days. He has days when he is homesick, and days when he doesn't think of home.
He was saddened to hear about the death of sister Monson, said he is thankful for temple marriages, and the knowledge we have with the plan of salvation and that families can be together forever.
Austin was really sick this past Saturday. His zone leaders gave him a blessing. He was better for church on Sunday. He has such great faith.
Summer is quickly approaching. Time will be passing much faster. It will be different this summer to just have 2 of our kids at home. I hope I can keep up this blog.
Please keep Austin in your prayers.
"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle." Phillips Brooks
