So I´m in a city called Córdoba!  It´s amazing and there is so much history in this city! It´s awesome! In 2 sentences basically it was a city under the Roman Empire.  Then when the Roman Empire fell the Arabs came in and settled, then after that the catholics came in and retook the city. Very quick history but it´s so awesome!

My companion´s name is Elder Wilson.  He is from Brownsville, Texas he lives 10 minutes away from the Mexican border.  He´s such a great guy! He is going home after he is done training me.  So he only has 12 weeks left.   But we are really working hard.  In Córdoba it´s only a tiny little branch.  There is over 100 members but only half are active.  So we´re working hard to get the church going here!  

I love it here in Córdoba! The people´s accent here is insane.  They don´t say their  ¨s´s¨whatsoever.  So they´ll say ¨adio¨and ¨uno doe tre¨and when they try to pronounce my name they butcher it so bad.. They say it like ¨tefen¨so bad haha I want to laugh every time.

But we are working really hard and we found a golden investigator!  Her name is Nancy.  She is probably in her 40s and when she answered the door she said ¨oh my niece just got baptized in your church back in Ecuador last sunday i want to here more about you guys¨ and me and my companion look at each other and we´re both thinking praise the lord! haha but this was two days ago saturday night and her and her daughter came to church yesterday! They are so awesome and i know they felt the spirit and hopefully things will go good!! 

My spanish is going pretty well.  When I teach I´m butchering the language so bad but I´m trying so hard to speak and the people I´m teaching can see that and they really try and understand what I´m trying to say.  But it´s great i´m thankful for my companion who can translate when I don´t understand... Which is a lot because people here skip half of the syllables in every word haha but it´s great!!  By the time me and my companion are done here they´ll be 3 wards in the city!! Just kidding but we´ll make it closer to becoming a ward!
