Change 10 Week 4

Hey everyone, happy Easter first of all. I totally forgot that last week was Easter, here in Ecuador they don't celebrate anything like what we are used to in the United States. Here they celebrate what's called "Holy Week" and it's pretty much an excuse to drink and not work, and all the Catholic's are in church on Sunday. They also all cook the same food on Sunday and they have restrictions or things that they don't eat, like on Friday no one eats meat and on Sunday everyone makes fish soup. It's interesting and it made me remember the last time that I was eating the soup a year ago, I was in Loja and now I'm in Guayaquil. This Sunday I had to give a talk in church, which I was used to just getting picked out of the blue to give a talk because there's no one else. I have been studying my whole mission and have noted down tons of things that I learn and it always pays off when I have to talk in church because I have everything I need in my study journal. It took me about 10 minutes to prepare a decent talk on Sunday morning. I talked about the atonement and how we can apply it in our lives. Through the general conference I was able to realize that everything that we do and teach and study is all centered in Jesus Christ and so it was easy because that's why I'm here, to bring souls unto him. I enjoyed the experience. I just realized that in my mission I have had to talk in church on Christmas, new years, and now Easter. What's next? LOL! I hope that everyone has had a good break and that everyone is doing good. Training and opening this sector is still hard and I am still a little worried all the time, but I am making the best of this situation because it may never come again. I love you all very much and I hope that everything has gone well! Love and miss you tons ELDER WILSON
