Change 14 Week 1

Hey there! Well I'm a little sad to tell you that Elder Flores is no longer my partner in crime, we had changes and he got transferred to Machala to be a district leader and senior comp, leaving me here alone. On the upside he was really excited to hear about his new calling as a senior comp and responsibility as district leader, and I'm excited to be here in the same ward because i too was called to now be a DISTRICT LEADER and on top of that I'M TRAINING AGAIN!!! Apparently the lord and President Montalti were happy with the work that me and Elder Flores were doing, because we both got moved up to bigger and greater things. My comp hasn't come in yet from Peru where he is currently in the MTC, I will be going to pick him up tomorrow and then we will be getting to work. This week me and Elder Flores had a good time working and we made a lot of progress with the member and they are really excited help us out in the lords work. We got some members to go out with us this week to knock doors and get us some new people in the program, it was a huge help and even though we aren't seeing immediate results, were looking forward to a very bright future here in Sta. Monica. This Saturday we had a conference with Elder Christofferson (of the 12 apostles) and it was pretty cool!! I really enjoyed hearing his testimony, and remembering that he is a special witness of Jesus Christ really made me appreciate the once in a lifetime chance that we had. I took tons of notes and was glad that we had a good meeting but he didn't come with a prepared class, he asked questions and then based on the missionaries questions he shared doctrine and testified. it was a good meeting and I was happy to be amongst soo many missionaries, that are here to serve and love the people. anyway I was sooo excited for my convert Gregory who you all heard about that recently got baptized, well as it turns out he has been working in the temple doing baptisms and helping some members work outside in the garden. He was invited by a couple members and he is just loving it, and this weekend elder Christofferson did a meeting for single adults so Gregory went to church in the morning(another ward), then to the meeting with the elder and then came back to our ward (whereas we attend from 3-6) for priesthood. He had never come to church in a white shirt or tie but this week he came in a full suit and I was soo happy, he has progressed soo well and was excited to have had the experience that he has this weekend. We are looking forward to working with his friends and family, so they can come unto Christ just like he has and feel the joy that the gospel brings to all of us. Sunday night came and I was dreading the phone call that came late, but it came and Elder Flores had to go, but one door closed and now I'm opening 2 more being a trainer again and now district leader! I didn't think that president would put me in a leadership position but I must be doing something right! Anyway thanks for all your support, I know that your all away on vacation but I know that you will make up for your absence next week. I wait to hear from you!! love and miss you tons!! ELDER WILSON
