Carter's emails continue to be a few sentences so we're having a hard time getting long emails for actual substance. Here are some snippets from a letter we got from his
mission president, President Torres
"It was a very special experience to personally greet your son, Elder Wilcox, at the airport upon his arrival in Guayaquil. We were impressed by his great spirit and desire to serve. We are grateful and humbled to have him serving here with us.
From the airport we took him and the other missionaries downtown to the Guayaquil Temple for a picture. We then went to a stake center to meet the office staff and take care of some paperwork, and orientation. We enjoyed a great Ecuadorian dinner after which it was my privilege to interview your son as well as the other arriving missionaries. What a nice experience it was to get to know your son and feel his outstanding missionary spirit!"
Carter was sent to his first zone, Santa Rosa South. His companion is Elder Rodriguez. Shortly after arriving he was able to baptize Myra C. in Spanish. He was pretty excited that he was able to
recite the prayer in all Spanish too. That's all the details we have about the past week. Hopefully we'll start to get more consistent lengthy posts! Write him a letter and you can get your own details on what's going on in Ecuador.
