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!
