Service, bricks and bees 7/18/16

we moved a whoooooole bunch of dirt off a families property!

A nice old man taught us how to make clay bricks and then gave us fried bees called sisim!

 we made all these.....

 Super tasty actually, like burnt potato chips, but you put a little salt and limon on there and it's awesome!

us in the cyber right now with a future missionary, he says hi!

Don't have my final travels planes but I should get em soon.

I love it, first day we get home I want to go to the temple and do baptisms for the dead with the whole family, maybe Madi could look for some more family names!

Our areas is a little crazy right now. Just a whole lot to do and not a lot of time to do it. We've been giving service everyday this week. Our investigadores that are progressing are Georgina, Antonio, and they child Josue. Also Ha Amanda. They're all very unique people who have the same quality, they all came to church two sundays aho by themselves. Were focusing 100 por 100 on them and giving service and we love it.

Doing Great! 7-11-16

Our zona this Friday!

We spent all day painting a house on Thursday, it went great.

 We went preaching a few days with a young man named Jhony. He's 9 years old but looks like he's 13 and preaches like he's 60. We love him!

 We found a cool new investigador named Olga who's really sick but a really sweet women. She's going through chemo right now but has talked with the missionaries lots before about 25 years ago. She can't go to church because often times she's bedridden but whenever we visit them there is the sweetest spirit in their home. This is their backyard and a pomegranet tree haha

Building Houses and Testimonies 6/6/16

Brother Hunters a really good man, I still remember when he gave me my patriarchal blessing. My prayers go out to his family.

Sorry I haven't written much, we've been awfully busy here lately. I'll just try and tell you what we've been doing the last few days.

Monday- We went to flor de mayo and helped a man with aids build his house. That's why we didn't have much time to write.  He's an investigator for sometime now and has decided he wants to get baptized on the 18 of June, we're very excited. He's amazing, he's been sick since he was 14 and since then it's been a struggle but he's looking pretty good now and whenever we visit him we offer him blessings. We read a cool talk by I believe David O Mckay in 1973(correct me if I'm wrong). It talked about how he was coming home on a plane and three different times he felt on immense pain in his stomach and three different times he felt hands on his head and looked up and didn't see anything. When he got home his wife sent him to the hospital. The doctor said he had internal bleeding and if he had waited any longer that he would have died. What he taught was that if even the Prophet has need of three different blessing how much greater is our need of the laying on of hands constantly y constantly throughout our lives.  If Joseph had the first vision and then never prayed ever again where would we be now? In order to progress we need constant communication and revelation from The Lord.

Tuesday- We thought we were gonna contact a reference that was 30 min away and we end up taking the combi for 2 and a half hours, get off, see one going the other way and going home. We sure had a pretty ride though and now we need where our next pueblo de oro is.

Wednesday- Went to rodulfo and started building another house for a women named sandra. She wants to be baptized but isn't because her husband lives in the US and doesn't want her to join a church till he gets back. Meanwhile we've been teaching her and cutting their wood and it's been pretty fun.

Thursday- Wednesday all over again haha

Friday- Thursday all over again

Saturday- we helped with the 6 baptisms the zone had and did our weekly planning for next week

Sunday- we planned with the district pres. the mission devocional well have the 26 and taught a childrens choir to sing army of helaman, it was pretty fun.

 It sure is stressful sometimes out here but were getting by and were teaching repentance and baptizing converts. So that was my week, I love you guys! Cuidese mucho,Elder Wixom

Great Week 5/24/2016

Thanks mom! I'm excited to start school but trying not to think about it too much, I'm glad you and dad have time to help me! We've been reaaaal busy lately. Yesterday we spent all day in flor de mayo picking corn with some less active members and investigatores. It was awesome! We cut a whole boatload of wood afterwords and picked a whole bunch of mangos. It was pretty fun. Their members there give so much to us so we decided to give back to them some more and that's why a penas we're writing back today. We've got two investiugadores planning to be baptized this saturday, leonor y limbano. limbano is a old man who is semi paralyzied on the left side of his body. Everytime we visit he does more and more excercies and just within the last month we've seen him progressing a whole lot. He's super excited to get baptized and has given up cafe and beer and many other things to be worthy. Leonor is a woman who lived in the states for about few years and went to our church while she was there. She's been through a lot of hard things lately and has seen a lot of problems with her family so as we taught her the restoration and the plan of salvacion my companion felt the impression to invite her to baptism this coming saturday and she broke down crying saying yes. It was amazing to see that kind of faith in someone. This church is soo true. Anyways I love you all, until next week!
