Change 6 Week 4

Hey! So this week was pretty normal nothing out of the ordinary. We have been working super hard to teach a ton of lessons and get people progressing. This weekend we had ward conference and that was a little interesting because they changed the meeting schedule around on us which was about the only thing that made this week different from any other. This week I got a little sick and I'm not really sure why or what I had I just felt nauseous and I got to sleep a whole day and it was way nice to catch up on some rest. I slept and then was just fine and I don't want anyone to worry because I am perfectly fine, I think it was just something that I ate, but I am perfectly fine. Anyway, I am looking forward to getting out of October and one more month closer to the end of the year so I can reach that 1 year mark finally. Although the time has gone by fast as crap! Me and Elder Tobar are doing good, he's just about as excited for my birthday as I am because he gets to share what comes in my packages! We're hoping that we get to be companions for more time, but with a lack of baptisms that's not all that likely. I am not sure what's going to happen in a couple of weeks, but maybe it will be my turn to move up and be senior companion. They say that the junior companion just has to follow and sometimes I feel like I'm just following Elder Tobar around and doing what he tells me to do, but I want to see what's going to happen when I get to make the calls and get the credit for what we do here in the sector. Anyway, I hope that everyone is doing well and is safe and happily awaiting the holiday season as I am. I love and miss you very much ELDER WILSON.

Change 6 Week 3

Hey! This week was pretty average but we are improving with our lessons and new investigators, just have a lack of baptisms. Me and Elder Tobar have been working really hard to teach and prepare the people for baptism but in the end it all comes down to them and whether they're willing to change or not. I am doing good, getting a little chubby but I'm also trying to figure out how I can burn the most calories within the 4 walls of my tiny apartment. I have started to eat better, we found a sweet little fruit store close to our house and the fruit here is amazing seriously I love it!! I have been improving my Spanish every time that I speak, it seems that when I am thinking a million miles per hour I make lots of mistakes trying to keep up with the translation. All around I'm doing good and really enjoying my second change or second 6 weeks with Elder Tobar. We're pretty sure that one of us is going to have a change in the next few weeks. I'm really hoping that I get to stay because that will mean that I will be here for my bday and Christmas. One more change and 2011 is gone!!! Wow I can't believe that time has gone by soo fast, but I am really looking forward to starting a new year and experience what Ecuador is like in the summer! I hope that all is well with everyone in the states! I love and miss you tons!! ELDER WILSON

Change 6 Week 2

Hey! So this week was a good start for us this change. We had a couple weeks that were really just down right bad for us when my companion was sick and yesterday we ended up having the best weekly numbers in the zone. Not that we're prideful or anything because we still haven't had any baptisms in a while, but were starting to get some help from the ward members and finding the people in their house when we have scheduled appointments is always nice. Me and Elder Tobar ended up with more then 25 lessons taught last week, and we found 11 new people to teach. The Spanish is improving, I found that when I actually study Spanish that I really can understand why I'm saying what I'm saying where as before I was just saying what I heard because it's what all the Latins say. Last week on Monday me and my companion did get to go shopping, but we were rushed because we didn't want to spend our whole day there, so today we're heading back to get some things and then we're probably going to sleep the day away. I know that sounds like a huge waste of a p day but my companion doesn't sleep well at night because of his back and so he wants to get some shut eye this afternoon. I am going to write some letters while he's sleeping seeing as it's been a while since I have written home, which I should apologize, it's just difficult to make time sometimes. I really hope that everything is going great! I love and miss you tons!! Thanks for everything! I didn't end up getting any boxes or letters this week if your wondering. Sorry. ELDER WILSON

Change 6 Week 1 & Pictures!

Hey!
So good news, I didn't have a change today me and Elder Tobar are still here in La Floresta working and I'm super excited to not have a new companion or sector for the first time since I was with my trainer and even that didn't even last. Last week was good, we didn't have that great of numbers because we pretty much lost a day and a half of work watching conference, although it was nice to get to sit and relax and just listen to the conference. It was pretty cool, I actually understood what everyone was saying which I can't say the same for the last conference in April. On Sunday we had a little complication because the electricity went out in the stake center where we went to watch the conference so we all had to go to a different stake center and if you can imagine 2 full stakes of people in one building. It was really full but we enjoyed the Sunday morning session the same. I hope that everything is going well in the states. I love and miss you tons!! ELDER WILSON
