She will be missed, just like my sweet mother in law. I have to remember there is much good amidst the pain.

A Glorious Homecoming
Today, is a new beginning for another loved one. How do I tell my son his great granny, his funny granny, has left this earth? He told us before he left to not let him know when someone dies. So, I wont tell him. A sadness overwhelms me. But, yet maybe he knows. His great granny was 95, it was her time. Austin named his great grandma funny granny when he was just a little boy. She has kept that title. He has one more angel to guide him on his mission. Granny had a different belief than us. I know Heavenly Father loves her anyway. Perhaps, Elder Wilcox's other grandma will help granny find her way.
She will be missed, just like my sweet mother in law. I have to remember there is much good amidst the pain.

Chiggers are probably one of the most vile creatures in the world!!!! They are a little microscopic bug, that lays it's eggs inside of you, and then when the larvae hatch inside of you, they die, and release a horrible chemical that makes you have to itch really bad. My legs right now are covered in them!! I have many more now, than I do in these photos. Never go through the tall grass in Texas!!! Consider yourselves warned. But, they go away eventually, I have had mine for about 2 weeks, and sadly they are pretty much scarring because I am itching them so much. I even shaved my legs, below the calf, because I was sick of the clear goo it released when I itched, and it left mats in my leg hair, so I shaved that part of my legs, to relieve that feeling of uncomfort. Well, Best of luck this week fellas, word hard, share the gospel, and bring other souls to christ.
Love, Elder Wilcox

We received a letter from the mission president dated on June 27, 2013. Elder Wilcox has been appointed to serve as a Senior Companion in his proselyting area.
Austin has been gone for 22 weeks now. He is doing well, and his obedience is obvious.
He has been transferred to Mansfield, Texas and is in the Arlington 5th ward. There is a big difference between Waco and Arlington. Waco had a lot of lower income homes and Arlington is quite the opposite. The ward in Waco was huge, but in Arlington the ward is smaller.
His new companion is Elder Mertlich is his new companion, and has been in the mission field for 3 months.
