Change 9 Week 3

Hey! This week was awesome, we had a good week working with my new companion here in Machala. It's super hot and I don't know how I'm used to it and not dying every day because every time Ii go to sleep at night I look at my clock and its 83 or 84 degrees in my house. We have a fan but it doesn't work all that good. I actually don't have my own house yet, I live with my district leader and his house only had the necessities for 2 missionaries but we're making it work for all 4 of us while the office is getting everything taken care of for my new house. We're supposed to be moving in sometime soon, before I got here it rained hard and flooded the house where the missonaries of my sector were working and so they had to rescue what they could and we are hopefully going to get all new things when we get our new house. I sure hope so but then again I'm comfortable and happy living where I do because we're 4 North Americans that live together and it's fun to talk about things that happened in the states. On the work side this week we should be having a wedding for a family that has plans to get baptized. The parents aren't married but this Friday we should be having the wedding and then this Sunday they are hopefully going to get baptized the family of 3. That will finish off my work for February and then we're heading into March and that's a good thing because we have a lot of good plans to get things done and the bar has been set high for us. Our zone leaders said that as a zone we have a goal to have 24 baptisms this next month and that means that every sector has to baptize 6 people in one month. I have never done that before but me and my companion made a plan and we've got the names of the people that we want to prepare and we're going to work hard to try and get this done. Who knows it might just happen for us. I really hope that I can meet this goal and show my leaders that I'm not just any other missionary but that I'm here to do big things. As for Monday, here in Ecuador it was a holiday that's called CARNAVAL and we weren't allowed to go out all day Monday or Tuesday because sometimes it gets a little crazy with people drinking and they always like to mess with the gringos and so president just locked us all up. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to write but that's why we're here now and I hope that things are all going well in the states. I love and miss you very much!! ELDER WILSON

Kyler also mentioned in a separate email that he still has not received any mail as of Januray 25th:(
