166 Days



Familia,
Alright family  i have had a very interesting week and some
experiences i would like to share. But first I want to share a
scripture for the family that I think can bring more happiness and
peace. The first part is in Colossians 3:20 it says “children, obey
your parents in ‘ALL THINGS’ for this is well pleasing unto the lord.”
This is for the brothers. Not only are mom and dad telling you to
listen to them but an apostle is telling you in the bible. That means
that they had the same rules when jesus was here on the earth.  If
this is something gad wants us to follow then that means if we follow
it he will give us blessings.  Alright but mom and dad cant just use
this scripture to make you follow them because they need to do their
part as well which is ion the next verse “Fathers, provoke not your
children to anger, lest they be discouraged.” I know sometimes parents
get mad when the kids don’t obey and they yell.  I can remember many
times, but that is ok cause we are not perfect.  But there is always
answers in the scriptures or from god even about parenting.  Alright
that is from my studying this week but I have another experience in
want to share.  We have an investigator that is really cool her name
is isidora and she has 2 kids that have been coming to all the
activities, but she just started to come with her friend Hna Bazán who
I baptized this change.  We taught her the first lesson and asked her
to pray about joseph smith. But we didn’t teach the BoM still but the
next lesson we had she told us she saw a vision or had  a dream and
saw a person wearing white.  My comp then showed her the picture of
moroni hiding the plates and she said that looked like his face but he
was wearing white. We then showed her the picture of moroni appearing
to joseph smith in his room and she said that is him.  She had never
seen this photo before and I know that she received an answer from
god.  But the bad news is she left with her kids to another part of
peru and wont comeback till after I have changes.
Love, Elder Wilkinson

Day 159

Family and friends,
My new companion is awesome and he loves to work I have thanked my
heavely father for a good companion that can help me be a better
missionary. He is from lima peru and is 24 years old. Thanks for the
books I really have loved reading the books of the church at night
when I have a few minutes. I had the coolest opportunity this last fri
when we had missionary night.  We had a lot of people there and I
found some chedder cheese in the super market and cooked grilled
cheese for everyone and they loved it. I also found hunts ketchup
there! And it is like gold for me haha I also ate liver and it smelled
like crap and tasted like crap as well I don’t want to eat it ever
agasin but I don’t think I will be that lucky

Familia,
Yes I have a new companion elder ruiz and he is a
great elder.  He has almost 11 months in the mission and so he has
more experience than elder coti.  Elder was a great companion but we
were both pretty new and were still trying to figure everything out.
He is from lima, peru.
 So we had
a baptism this last sat for the bazan family and it was an awesome
experience.  The bazan family is the family I payed for their marrage
fees.  The father is going to reciave the Aaronic priesthood this next
sun and in march will receive the melqisedec in the stake conference.
I know they have goals to marry in the temple a year from now and I
will still be in the mission field and maybe I will be able to get
permission to go with them but I love that family so much they are
true examples of Christ and sacrifice.
