Change 8 Week 5

Hey! So this week was pretty good, me and my companion are still working and trying to work better as a companionship. Our zone leaders are pretty concerned about how well we're going to work together when we hardly talk when we're in the street or at home, but there's nothing that they can really do because we're just 2 different people that's all. We get along well, we're just not great friends like I was with Elder Herrera, although me and Elder Tlatelpa have worked a little bit better since he has gotten here and we are starting slowly to improve the branch because the numbers are super low. I don't know exactly what we're going to do to get some people reactivated, but we are working hard and hopefully we'll start to see some results. I want to help this branch, but I know that if and when I do then changes are going to be here and I'm going to have to leave all that I have done behind and go to a different part. It doesn't really matter all that much to me because that's how it's been my entire mission, and I have enjoyed my time here even though it's been a long ride.
Anyway this week some interesting things happened and I wanted to share a couple stories and pics to go along with them so you can see whats been going on and a little more about the traditions of Ecuador. So before I left I knew that it was going to be hot and I have told you all many times that it gets hot here and actually we're in the hottest time of the year and one morning I was studying and I realized that the sun was super strong and I wanted to know just how hot it was outside. So I took my alarm clock because it's got a thermometer and I put it in the window seal where the sun hit just right. I left it there for about 45 minutes and I was amazed at what I saw when I went back to check things out. It was 125 degrees outside and I almost fell over! I was soo shocked that I had to take a picture because I felt the heat but I didn't know that it was that hot here in Ecuador. When the clouds come out it stays right around 107 and when the suns out you can see what it's like. I thought that was cool.
Also I'm sure you know that here in Ecuador there's a delicacy, which is Guinea pig. Well I got a chance to eat this delicacy this Thursday, my branch president has a little mini farm in the back of his house and he decided that it was time and so we ate Guinea pig. I took a video of the entire process basically. From when they killed them, cleaned them, and prepared them to be lunch. It was awesome and I actually thought it came out pretty good. I was impressed at how much I like it. I don't want to gross anyone out so I only included the final result, I thought it was very interesting and I had a good experience with my branch president and his family.
As for mail, we haven't received mail here in my entire zone this month, the last mail that I got was after Christmas and before new years. I don't know why the office isn't sending mail but there's nothing that I can do and honestly my leaders don't even care to ask for mail because it always is just for me. We should be getting mail any day now like for sure tomorrow but I don't know and I will be sure to let you all know how it goes when I get mail. I love and miss you tons!! ELDER KYLER WILSON
