..days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days..

Hey Everybody,

So it has already been another week, crazy huh? I don't think I ever realized what it meant when everyone was saying the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days until I have been here. Because other than that there isn't a way to describe it. But it has been awesome and I am loving it. I love all of the prayers and support you all give me, keep sending them please. You are all also in my prayers. So thanks for all the treats they were awesome. You don't know how much those raisen cookies mean. They just taste like home mom. Thanks so much. I still have one left, because I am trying to saver them. So thank you for that I loved them.

Lets see, oh ya my face wash has been jacked. So I don't know where it went, other than somebody took it when I was in the bathroom. So I could use some of that, also I want some more shirts if possible...Because I have gym everyday, and not enough shirts to last that aren't all sweaty. So maybe some of my jazz ones or something would be cool. If not, it's not a big deal. If you do send a package though, some hi-chews would be awesome, just little things I can take to class. But whatever is fine. Also if possible, I want an address book with all of your address's in it. Because I can only send stuff home, because I don't have anybody elses address's. So I need Cory, Josh, Cade, and Steve's address's for sure, because I need to send them all letters. But I don't know if you could do that. Maybe on facebook or something? Just get on mine and ask steve for cory and joshes, and ask cache for cade's if you can. That is probably a job for Rach. Unless someone else wants to do it. And anybody else that wants a letter from me, I need their address first or a letter with it. Because I've got nothing here. I found Nate on Day two of being here. He seems to be ok, but I could tell he was a little shocked getting thrown into everything. It's weird to think I have already been gone three weeks, my how time flies when you are doing the lords work. We get to teach our teachers as investigators. I think I told you that, but it is fun, because they act as different people and we have to figure out how to teach them. So on monday, we taught our teacher who is playing Antonio which is an investigator he had on his mission. I know it isn't like the real thing but it is still good practice. We taught him, and I could feel the spirit, becuase every question he asked I never had to think of what I needed to say, it just came to me. And I could say most of it in Spanish. So to feel the spirit that strong is just so awesome. Also our other investigator said he missed his family, and stuff like that. And I had an idea pop into my head which wasn't mine, that I should share about my family. So we ran back to the room and I grabbed one of the pictures. The only recent one that I could find with all of us in it was ganz and rach's graduation. haha. But it worked all the same. Because I was able to talk about all of you and how it is such a good feeling to know that we are an eternal family. I love it so much. Because whenever I feel homesick or something, if I think about it in that perspective, two years is nothing. 

Alright mom had some questions so here are some answers. So my district has twelve people in it right now. 8 of us are going to mendoza, and two elders are going to the DR, and two sisters are going to Puerto Rico. So there are two other sisters going with us to Mendoza, and then it is my companion, me, Elder Maughn who is in my room, his comp who is Elder Rogers, a weird cookie I might add. Then Elder Tingy and Elder Myers, as well. We have a lot of fun together. I mean I know I can't not like people, but I am ok with the two elders leaving this week to go to the Dominican Republic. The other two sisters are headed with them to another MTC. But the 8 of us that are going to Mendoza are here for the long haul. But we are gaining one more elder from another district, because he broke his foot, and can't leave yet. So he will be in a trio with the two elders that are in the other room. There is a guy who said he just got back from Mendoza, who is training to be a teacher here. So I will have to see if he knows anything about the bednets. Also no colored pencils that I know of. Anything that I have would be on the floor in my room. And just to add, Rach coloring? How old are we? jk.

How are the pups doing? Those two need to be trained in the back yard or something before they get to go out into the world and see other dogs. Because mr. cow is way to protective of his people. I can't believe he got daisy butt -- from Ben. Him is the favorite. Anyway, I want more recent pics if possible, like maybe some from hawaii or ganz's wedding or something? Just any pics you find along the way that you think I might want would be awesome.

The temple trip is at like three in the afternoon, so no breakfast mom. Also I don't know what kind of money I have on my card, so I don't know when I can use it. What should I do about that? So I haven't eaten at the temple yet because it costs money, and I don't know what I have. I have used about half of the cash that I brought on laundry detergent and those kind of things, so I don't know. Just let me know what you can find out. Would you tell parker's parents that I said hi, and to pass one along to him as well. I need his address too, if you do a book. Tell Nate's family I am keeping an eye out for him, and he seems to be doing well. He is the only American in his room. His companion is from England, and the other too are from finland or something else like that I am not sure. I think it was European. But he looks good.

So I have found that writing letters is better for me. Because I can have more time to do it, so I don't think I will put any little personal ones in the email because there is no time for that. haha. Oh I almost forgot, Dad sorry about last week, when I retyped that email I must have forgotten to put yours on there. I thought I did but I was in a rush so sorry about that, I didn't forget about you. So if I get a letter from any of you, I think I will answer it by mail because I like that better. So that is why I would like people's address's. I will send them all to the mutt this week because that's all I got. Is that one. So I hope you got the thank you cards out to everyone, and the letters I have put in there. Oh also I need luke and seans address's too. Just get me all of them that you can think of. I love you all and thank you for the support, you may not think that those small letters help, but they make the days so much better. So keep them coming. And if anybody wants to write, I would love to here from my friends!!! Any way, Dios ama Ustedes y la Evangelio es verdadero.

 

Con Amor,

Elder Wheeler.

 

P.S. A little testimony in some spanish if I can spell the words right. So don't judge if they are wrong.

Yo se que la iglesia es verdadero. Yo se que Jesucristo es nosotros Salvador y que el Expiacio por nosotros pecados. Yo se que Jose Smith es un profeta de dios. Yo se que el Sacerdocio es la autoridad desde dios. Yo Amo Ustedes. Ustedes son en mi oraciones. En el nombre de Jesucristo Amen.
