August 31, 2015

Hey everyone!! I don't have any time left really because the power went out for about 30 minutes while we were here. 
So I will just tell you all about my favorite part about this past week. On Saturday Javier got baptized!! I don't know if I have told much about Javier but he is a 18 year old guy who went to church for the first time about 3 months ago. The biggest challenge with him was that we could never find him! But we were able to find him and start teaching him about 3 weeks ago and now he just got baptized this past Saturday. Javier is a guy who really understands a lot about the purpose of life and is extremely humble. He is a great kid and my hope is that he will one day be able to serve a mission and preach the gospel just like i am doing right now. 
Sorry I couldn't write more. I hope that the power doesnt go out next week haha

August 24, 2015 - ELDER WILKS BIRTHDAY

Hey everyone!! wow this week was a week full of work!!
We have found a lot of new people to teach through just talking to people on the street and prestando service to strangers. Its fun to meet new people and learn about their lives and families. 
One day this week we were doing something called 12 weeks which is for new missionaries. We watched a short video clip about how to work well with the members in the ward. After we saw the video we felt like we should talk to the bishop about all of the families that are inactive or havent gone to church in a while. He gave us a short list of people to visit and told us where they lived. So one day after we finished dinner we didnt have any appointments so we thought it was a good idea to go and talk to some of the people bishop told us about. So we go and after a little encounter with a few dogs, we made it to their house and they saw us as we were walking up and they invited us in! We went in and we were just visiting for a while with the family and then one of their neighbors came in. We talked to him and asked him a few questions to get to know him. He told us that he had talked to the missionaries before when he lived in progreso and was about to get baptized, but then his job moved him to a different area and he lost connection with the missionaries. So now we have been talking with him every day and he always tells us that he really wants to get baptized and he has really been looking for this change in his life. So that was cool to see how heavenly father lead us to that man. He is so aware of us in everything that we do. And he really loves us all personally. 
We also had the opportunity to listen to an apostle on Saturday! We watched a broadcast of Elder Russel M. Nelson as he gave a talk to the missionaries in the Tegucigalpa mission. His message was really great. He talked about the importance of Family History and Temple attendance. As he was closing he bore a powerful testimony about temple work and about this work that we do as missionaries. I know that the temple is literally the house of God. I love and miss the temple so much and cant wait to return. 
Well i love you all!! Have a buena semana!!
ADIOSSSSSS

August 17, 2015

Hello everyone!! I hope that you all had a fantastic week. Things were pretty regular this week. We worked hard and found new people to teach. We are talking to a ton of people each day and we are getting to know a lot of people here. 
One day this week we were out contacting people and at first everyone we talked to didnt listen to us and so we thought that we would go to a poorer part of our area and we had a lot more success in that area. It got me thinking about "orgullo" and how money can really take over our lives if we arent careful. Even if we dont have the biggest house or the nicest car, we have a lot to be thankful for.  A lot of the people here have close to nothing, but they are so thankful for the things they do have and always are so humble. That is the thing that i love most about the people here in Honduras. Yeah there are always people who are really prideful and get caught up in things of this world, but the majority of people here are really humble and willing to change their lives to follow the example of our savior Jesus Christ. 
Love the chance i have to be a missionary and share this gospel with the people here in Honduras. I have been changed so much in my testimony and i know without a doubt in my heart that the church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth through a prophet. The gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives and i am thankful for the opportunity that i have had to see that in the people i have met. 
Hasta luego!!

August 10, 2015

Hey everyone this week was a little uneventful for us because my companion got sick this week with something called dengue fever. So we were in the house for almost the whole week. But we were able to go to church and we had a lot of investigators who showed up eventhough we werent able to visit them very much this week! I was actually really surprised haha. 
The Garcia family is doing well and 5 out of the 9 people in their family went to church yesterday which is good, but now we need to get the other four to go! Guti is doing great and we are hoping to put a baptismal date with him this week so  i will tell you all about that next week. Javier is great and is getting ready for his baptism on the 22 of this month. We are teaching him outside of our house because he doesnt want us to meet his mom, but we are going to see if we can meet her this week.
Love this work and I am learning so much being out here on the mission. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is such a blessing in my life and i have seen it bless the lives of others as well.
Love you all!!!

August 3, 2015

Wow this week was a little crazy. We are visiting a lot of people who are super interested in the gospel and are progressing really well. They all have a lot of desire to learn more and they are all really prepared. But the only tough thing that happened this week was that nobody went to church!!! Ahhhh thats super frustrating , we were expecting over 10 investigators to go tochurch yesterday and onlyt one showed up. We know evryone will come next week though. 
We had some really good lessons wheree the spirit was really strong this week. I will tell you all about one. So we have an investigator named Guti who we are teaching. He is a 17 year old kid who lives with his aunt who is a member of the church. So we have been teaching him for a while now and he has gone to church and he likes everything. But on friday we had a lesson with him that was really just awesome. We got there and right off the bat he just started asking us a ton of questions. We answered all of them as best we could and they were all mainly centered on the plan of salvation and the exitence of God. We sat there explaining everything about what he was asking for about an hour and then he told us as we were about to leave that he has only prayed two times in his whole life and he has a tough time believing that god really hears his prayers. We just told him that we really do have a LOVING heavenly father and that we are all his children. We asked him to offer the closing prayer and after a few minutes of resisting he agreed to do it. His prayer was so real and we could feel that he was really trying to make a connection with god through his prayer. As he was closing the prayer we heard him start to cry. Afterwards he told us that that was the very first time that he had really FELT the love of god in his life and he comitted to pray more often to strengthen his communication with god. That was really the turning point for him and now he is doing awesome and we are seeing the change in him every time we visit him.
Experiences like these are why i love the mission so much. Helping other people learn more about God is such a cool thing and the miracles that i have seen have strengthened my testimony so much .  Love this gospel and know that heavenly father loves each and every one of us no matter what we have done in the past. 

Love you all. Until next week!!

Sorry i cantr send pictures this week because this computer is a little retarded..

This week was awesome!!! Well changes were this week and my new companion is Elder NUÑEZ!! He is from El Salvador and he has been a member for only about 1 year and a half!! He is one of the most humble guys i have ever met and i admire that about him. I feel priveleged to be his trainer!

Paola got baptized on Saturday and it was awesome!!!! She was so excited and the spirit was really strong in that meeting. She really has such a strong testimony of this gospel already and i have really been lucky to be on the front row watching it all happen before me. 

The area has really picked up in the last couple of weeks and we are super busy every day. Our area is on a mountain so what we do is we work a few days high up on the mountain and the other days down at the base. We actually find new trails that lead to hidden neighborhoods every day and that is really fun and cool to see new parts of the area. 

I am learning so much out here and i love this work. 
Do a little more each day to be a better person! NO BAD DAYS!!!
Love you all!!

July 20, 2015

Wow this week was awesome!! We have been working a lot with the investigators we have found and are also looking for new ones to teach as always!! This week we actually found a family of 9 people!! They are from the island above honduras called Roatan and they speak english!! Apparently the people who live on that island speak english but its a really weird british type accent that they have. its sounds cool though. oh yeah and i also found out that my english has gotten really bad and i have to think about what i want to say for a minute so i dont sound stupid haha. But they also know spanish obviously so we usually just talk in spanish which is good. But they are awesome and super prepared for our message.
Paola is super ready for her baptism this saturday and we are really excited for her too! Her family is really "tranquilo" right now and they know she  is doing something good.
So changes are this week and the zone leaders called us about an hour ago and told me that i am going to train!! So that means that Elder Tello is going to a new area which makes me sad because i really enjoyed working with him. But i am also super excited for this opportunity that i have to train a new missionary. I dont know who it is yet but i will tell you all next monday all about my "son". 
Sorry for the short email but i sure do love you all and hope everyone is doing well! 
Mucho amor,
Elder Wilks
Sorry i cant send pictures this week because of the computer..

ADIOS!!

July 13, 2015

This week was really awesome!! Elder Tello and I were able to find a bunch of new people to teach this past week!! We have 12 Investigators who are progressing and are working on putting baptismal dates with each one of them. Paola is still doing awesome and is super ready for her baptism on the 25th of this month. The only thing is that changes are on the 22nd and we think that one of us might get changed and wont be able to be here for her baptism.. But we are trying not to think about that too much. 
It rained a lot this week! One day when we left the house in the morning it was clear blue sky so we didnt think to bring an umbrella or anything. Later that day in the afternoon is POORED rain and we got SOAKED! It actually made me laugh because of how hard it was raining. But we learned from that and took our umbrellas with us the next day. (Photo attached)
Something funny that happened was that we left from one of our lessons yesterday and while we were walking to our next lessons we had 4 stinkin dogs try to attack us. Elder Tello is super afraid of dogs so he ended up falling on the ground when one started barking at us hahaha it was funny.. We didnt get eaten though
I love the mission that i am on! I get to know so many people each day and talk about the most perfect human being to ever live on this planet, Jesus Christ. I know that he came to this earth to pay for every single one of our sins. I also know that he knows all of us PERFECTLY. Better than we know ourselves. He leads and guides his chuch in these latter days through a prophet who is called of God and i know that without a doubt in my heart. I invite you all to learn more about Christ and what he did for us here on the earth. 
Love you all have a great week!!!!

July 6, 2015

The 4th of July was good here!! I was happy to remind everyone it was Independence day by taking my little american flag with me when we left the house and wearing a red white and blue tie haha. 
This week was good!! We are seeing great progress in the people we are teaching and we were able to put another baptismal date with one of our investigators. Her name is Paola. Poala is the niece of one of the members in the ward here and lives in a town about 5 hours away. She always comes to visit and has known and talked to the missionaries for a long time, but has never been able to commit to baptism because her parents are very uneasy about the idea of her getting baptized. So we have been visiting her for about 2 weeks and this past week we told her that we knew she would be baptized in the month of July and we told her to pray about when she should be baptized in July and she recieved the answer that July 25th is her date. She called her family to tell them and they said it was fine. This was a answer to many prayers. We are so excited for her and know she will be more than ready by the 25 of this month.
Something else cool that happened yesterday is that a random person showed up to church with her kids and told us that she has always wanted to come to our church which was a huge miracle to hear her say that. We are way excited to help her change her life though this gospel.
The funny moment of the week was when me and my companion were waiting outside of a house for the people to answer the door on a platform and all of the sudden it collapsed under us... it was really unexpected hahah.
Well i love all of you and hope you enjoy this week!! 

Elder Wilks

here is a picture of me with the american flag and the platform that collapsed under us. We repaired it because we felt bad haha



June 29, 2015

Hey everyone i am super sorry but i have like two minutes before this computer place closes so this will be short.
We had our baptism on saturday and it was awesome!! Evelyn was very prepared and so full of the spirit after her baptism. I will send a picture. 
One thing that i learned this week while i was studying about our Heavenly Father and his plan for us is that he is always aware of the things that happen and people we meet in our lives. He is an almighty God and has a Specific plan for every one of us. I know that he watches over us every day and strengthens us through challenges. 
I love you all!!!!
Elder Wilks




June 22, 2015

Hey everyone this week was great!
Elder Tello and I are WORKING and we are seeing great blessings that come from hard work. The pool of investigators that we have right now is probably the most interesting one I have had yet in the mission. Everyone has such interesting backgrounds and it has been cool to learn about the lives of other people who are here. 
Evelyn is super ready for her baptism  this saturday and we were very lucky to have had the opportunity to find and teach her this wonderful gospel. We are also teaching other people who are super prepared, but our main focus right now is in finding new people to teach. A new thing that we are trying out is we are going to start teaching an english class each week. We are hoping that will be a good way to have members invite their friends to an activity in the church. 
Everything is awesome here though. We are working hard and we always find something we need to improve on every single day. My testimony of the Gospel is so strong and so real because of the miracles i have seen in the lives of others. Love this gospel and this work.

Love,
Elder Wilks

June 15, 2015

Hey!!!!! This week was awesome! My favorite part was probably the Stake conference we had this weekend. There was an area 70 who came to speak in all of the meetings and our mission president Klein was there too! The messages that where shared were awesome and I feel like all of the members here learned a lot from this stake conference.

Our bathroom construction process was put on hold this week because it has been raining every day almost. We should be able to work on it this week though. 

We have a baptism scheduled for the 27th of this month for one of our investigators named Evelin. She is 38 years old and just recently seperated from her boyfriend. We came in contact with her through her family who are all members and she is very prepared and ready to continue on the straight and narrow path of following the commandments of God. We are working hard to help the people we come in contact with actually progress, because a lot of times people will say they will do something but never really do. So we are putting forth an extra effort by reminding everyone why we leave assignments for them to do and the promised blessings that come if they do it. 

I know this gospel is true and I know that our Heavenly Father LOVES each and every one of us. He puts trials in our paths to make us stronger and there is a purpose in everything. We have so much to be thankful for and I have come to realize that more than anything while being here in Honduras. 

I love all of you so much and hope you all have a fantastic week!!

Les AMO como un borracho ama tomar!

June 8, 2015

Hey everyone this week was awesome!! We started off the week helping out a member build a bathroom!! The member called us and said she needed help with something and we went not knowing what we were going to do. When we got there she told us that we were going to build a bathroom! The good news is that her neighbor has built bathrooms for over 20 years so he is helping us a lot!! I will keep you all updated on how the bathroom construction progresses.
Unfortunately my companion was sick for a couple of days this week, but it was great for me because i had a lot of free time to study!! I was reading in the Book of Mormon and i just remember thinking how lucky we are to have that book to study and learn from. If there is anyone who doesnt know what the Book of Mormon is/ hasn't read it, I invite you to read it and i promise it will be a blessing for you and will ultimately change your life.
We are still teaching Evelin and she is doing great! The Lord really prepared her so much and now she is making the adjustments to change her life and keep the commandments of God. 
There is a new investigator that we found this week and his name is Javier. He is 17 years old and super interested in the church and has been really receptive to everything we have taught him. He is a really smart kid and loves to read so he has been reading in the Book of Mormon and has a lot of great questions for us every time we meet with him. 
Another thing that was really cool was that Elder Tello and I have been looking and praying to find a family to teach for the past week and one of the members told us yesterday that we should go and talk to their neighbors because they just moved in recently and didnt know much about them. So we went and talked to them and they are awesome!! Its a family of 5 and they are super cool. We already feel like there is a good connection between us and we are super pumped to go back and teach them this week!! It was a miracle that we found them and it strengthened my testimony so much in prayer and fasting. 
I know that prayer is real. It is such a great opportunity we have to communicate with our Heavenly Father. Through prayer we can strengthen our relationship with God and I know that is true because i have felt it and seen it in other people. I invite all of you to pray at least twice a day and i promise you all that you will begin to feel a difference in everything that you do. 
Love all of you guys! Hope everyone has a great week!!

Hey everyone i dont have much time but this week was awesome!
The coolest thing that happened was that a family that my companion and I reactivated had the chance to go to the temple and get sealed as an eternal family!! They shared their testimonies in church yesterday and it made me so happy that i was able to help them arrive to that point in their lives.
My companion and i are staying busy and are doing well.
I love you all and hope you all have a good week!!

May 25, 2015

Hey everyone!!! This week was awesome!! My companion and I are seeing the blessings that come from hard work. What we are really focusing on in our area right now is reactivation. We have been helping people remember the sacred convenants they made when they were baptized and inviting them to continue enduring to the end by going to church each sunday. Its hard but we are seeing great progress with everyone of the people we are visiting.
This past saturday our investigator Eduardo was baptized!! Eduardo is a little guy of about 10 years and he is a really smart kid!! He started coming to church about 2 months ago with a member family said he feels really good when he is at church. His baptismal service was great. Always the best feeling to help someone learn more about the Savior, see them grow spiritually, and enter the waters of baptism. 
We also have another investigator named Evelin. Everyone in her family are members of the church and we started teaching her about a week ago. We challenged her to get baptized and she accepted to prepare herself for the 27th of June! And that includes either seperating from her boyfriend or getting married but we are excited to work with her and see her progress!!
One thing that i noticed this week that is kind of funny about the people in Honduras is their responses to the question "Cómo está?"  Some of the responses we get are "Aquí mirandolos" which means "Here looking at you" or "Aqui mire" which means "Here look!" haha so that was something funny i noticed this week.
So grateful for this opportunity i have to serve a full time mission and dedicate all of my time to the Lord and his work. Love all of you and hope everyone has a great week!!
Love,
Elder Wilks





May 18, 2015

This week was awesome! The work here is really going along great and we are finding new people to teach through members which is awesome!! All of the investigators we are in contact with came from references given to us by the members in the church. So it really is SO important that the members of the church are missionaries too! Share the gospel with people!!
This morning the Zone went on a hike to a waterfall called "Pico Bonito". We hiked two hours up to the waterfall and two down. We are weird... We walk all day everyday for the whole week and then when our only free day of the week comes we choose to do more walking haha. But it was a really pretty hike so i will send you guys a picture!
Many of you already know this about me but i really like to lie and try to get people to believe crazy stuff. So this week about once a day while we are walking i have been locking my left knee out and walking with a straight leg for about 15 seconds. So now my companion thinks that I was born with a weird muscle tensing disease in my left leg hahahah. That randomly just popped into my mind haha.
Having a lot of fun down here in Honduras and am loving it! I love all of you and hope you all have a fantastic week!!
Love ,

The owner of this computer place just said they are closing soon so i cant write very much. 
This past week was awesome! I am still getting to know the area because i have only been here for a couple weeks, but its awesome i am really loving it here. Our work with the less active members of the church is going well! We Should be having a couple of baptisms before the end of the month so we are pumped about that.
Love all of you and hope you all have a great week!

HOLA!! 
So this week i did have changes sadly.. But my new area is called Buenos Aires and it is really cool!! Our area is on a mountain so we are never really walking on flat surface which is a work out!! mY  new companion is Elder Tello and he is from Peru! He has 20 months in the mission and i am learning a lot from him!! In the ward we are working in, there are about 400 members which is a ton!! But the attendance at church each week is only about 100 so there are a TON of less active members that we are working with.  Our area is super sweet because if you get up high enough on the mountain you can see the ocean!! Itts really pretty so i will send you all lots of pictures for the time i am here. 
Good news about Wilmer back in Sonaguera! He got baptized this past Saturday!! He is the guy who rides his bike an hour and a half every sunday to church. It is really too bad that i got changed out right before his baptism, but i was so happy to hear from him after his baptism. 
These last 6 months really have been the best 6 months of my life. I am so grateful for all of the things  i have learned in these 6 months. There really have been times where my faith has been tried, but i am so grateful for those times because it has made me a better person and has strengthend my testimony more than i ever thought possible. Thanks for all of your love and support and i hope that everyone has a fantastic week!!
¡Cheque pues!

Hey everyone i dont have much time to write but this week was great! This week is transfer week and we still dont know what the changes are. I think we will find out tonight. 
We have a baptism set for this saturday and it will be a real bummer if i am not here for it. I have loved working with all of the people here in Sonaguera. I would love to stay here but i think it would also be cool to go work in another area. I will let all of you know next Monday!!
Love you all very much. 
Elder Wilks
p.s. It is still hot here




April 22, 2015



Hey everyone! Sorry i wasnt able to write on Monday! We changed our Pday to today so we could go to a sweet little city right on the coast. It is a place called Santa Rosa de Aguan. It was so awesome! The people who live there speak a weird version of Spanish and it sounds so sweet and everyone is black so all of us american missionaries felt a little out of place haha. It was fun though we just chilled on the beach and played soccer and took pictures. 
The work is really going well here. We have 7 investigators that have a date to get baptized in the next few weeks! The only thing is that they are all after the change. So i am really hoping that i will stay here so i can be there at each one of their baptisms. I cant remember if i have already told yáll about Wilmer, but one day we show up to church and we see a guy sitting on his bike drenched in sweat and we didnt recognize him so talked to him a little and he told us that he rode his bike 1 hour and a half to get to the church. He said that one of the members invited him and he felt that he really needed to go for a reason he did not know. So we had a lesson with him during the third hour of church and the first question was " How long do i have to come to church before i can get baptized?" hahaha i couldnt believe it. He has a date for the 2nd of May and he is so excited for it. 
Love the mission. Really have learned a lot out here and i am so thankful for this opportunity i have to be a representative of Jesus Christ. 
Hope all of you have a fantastic week!!

This week was solid! We are finding new investigators like crazy and it has kept us really busy. Love sonaguera and i am hoping that i have one more change here.. I have learned so much and made incredible relationships with the people here.
The mission is awesome and i have learned soooooo much. It is really hard at times and sometimes your faith is tried as a missionary, but it is so worth it. Love all of you guys and hope you all have a great week!!

Hey remember how i said i got a picture with an apostle??? I finally got it!!!

Easter 2015

Happy Easter everyone!! Hope everyone enjoyed it and was able to really focus on the sacrifice of the savior Jesus Christ. It was the best Easter i have ever had because of how much i studied and focused on the resurection of the savior. I know that he came to the earth to do many things and one of them is to suffer the pains of every sin of the world. I know that he did that and that he died for us and was ressurected. Through his atonement, everyone has the opportunity to repent or change. I am grateful for my savior and his sacrifice for everyone of us.
General Conference was this past weekend and it was so awesome!! Being able to listen to the prophet and apostles of god was so great and i learned so much. If anyone wasn't able to watch or hear it go to lds.org to hear or read the talks that were given. I know that they were inspired messages and that we really to have a prophet who recieves revelation from god for the entire world. 
Elder Juarez and I have a lot of investigators that we are teaching. They are all progressing so well and seeing the blessings that come from living and learning the gospel of christ. I love this work and am so thankful for this opportunity i have to dedicate two years of my life to share it with the people here in Honduras.
I love all of you and hope you all enjoyed your easter weekend! Thanks for the love and support. Until next week

March 30, 2015



Last week was a great week. Elder Juarez and I found some really sweet people to teach and I am super excited to help them learn and progress in the gospel. One of them we found through giving servicio. So we were walking down the street and we saw a teenaged kid out in his frontyard area chopping grass with a machete. We stopped and offered to help him. Based off of past experiences i thought that it would be good if my companion took the machete and helped him to cut the grass. while he was doing that i just talked with the kid and his mom about the church. We set up an appointment to come visit them and went on out way. So then we went back to visit them and we shared our message with them and at the end of the lesson the mom said that she always rejected the missionaries and never wanted to listen to them, but that day when we helped her and her son for 5 minutes she said that she felt something. It was the most powerful lesson i have had in the mission. The señora and her hijo accepted the baptismal challenge and are preparing to take that step in their life through living by the principles of the Gospel. Really a blessing that we found them. 
So this week there is something called the Semana Santa. It is a week that everyone takes off of work and school to remember the suffering and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I dont know why, but supposedly everyone leaves town and heads to the beach.. So it is a really hard week for missionaries because there isnt anyone homee... Like the whole city is just dead. We will make the best of it and talk to the people who dont go to the beach though!
This weekend is General Conference!!!! I am SO EXCITED for it!! It is such a blessing to be able to listen to living prophets. I encourage everyone to watch it and apply the things you learn from it to make you a better person. 
Love all of you so much!!! Thanks for all of the love and support!

March 23, 2015



So this week I met my 4th companion!! 4 companions in 4 and a half months in the mission haha. His name is Elder Juarez and he is from Guatemala!! He is really a awesome guy and is a really hard worker. He doesnt talk too much so my spanish is improving a ton!! I already feel really close with him and i know we will have success together here in Sonaguera. There were also 2 other new missionaries who came into our district this week! They are both just starting their missions so they have about 3 weeks in the mission haha. It is crazy how fast time is going by. I remember the first day here in sonaguera almost 5 months ago. I was scared out of my mind and didnt know what ANYONE was saying. I really feel confident with the language now. I can carry on a conversation without really thinking about it and it is such an awesome feeling! Sure there are times where i dont understand people still, but for the most part i feel confident with spanish. I have definitley not come this far alone though. Heavenly father has been there with me every step of the way. 
My knee is all better and you can barely even see the scar so that is good. I will definitely be more careful with a machete from now on haha. 
We are working hard and my testimony is growing more and more each day of the saviors love for each and every one of us. Love sharing this gospel with the people here in Honduras. 
Never felt so much heat in my life. It is super hot and i have been sweating more than i ever have everrrrr. Makes the cold showers much better though. hhaaha
Love each and every one of you hope everyone has a good week!!!
