Change 9 Week 2

Hey! This week was really good here in Machala. Me and my companion are working pretty much harder than I have ever worked in my entire mission. He gets me up and going all the time and I am really enjoying working with Elder Hafer. Me and him get along well, and I keep finding out more and more about him and his family. We had a good week and are getting a bunch of people listening to the gospel, but I've found out that there's a huge problem with the people here in Machala and that's that no one get married. It's like everyone just wants to listen to our message and many want to get baptized, but there's no one here that's married to the person that they live with. It's very rare to find someone single and we are always looking for families, but every family that we seem to find the parents aren't married. it's been hard to get people excited for baptism because we have to first tell them that they have to get married and then they can get baptized. We are going to be having 2 weddings this week in our ward with our investigators, and next week we have 5 baptisms planned. It's gonig to be a ton of work and I dont know how I'm going to be able to do it, but I hope that everything works out well and that everything turns out for the best. I don't have much time to write today, pretty much just half an hour because I just got back from Guayaquil. What happened was my visa only lasts a year and it's going to expire and so I had to get up at 2 this morning to head to Guayaquil at 3:30 in the morning to get there at 7 and go with the secretary and some others from my group that had to do the same thing. I am really really tired and it's super late and that's why I'm only going to be able to write for half an hour. I love and miss you tons!! ELDER KYLER WILSON
Kyler also let me know in another email that they haven't gotten any mail, but should next week. He said, "they kicked the bad mail missionary out and are training a newbie how to run the ropes." :)
