Hey Everybody,
So how is everybody? I am doing great. We have the temple to go to in a few minutes. So I figured I would let you guys know how I am doing. The time is flying, I can't believe it has already been a month, but at the same time it feels like I have been here my whole life haha. It is a very weird concept. So if possible, it would be better if I could get letters monday, so then I can have time to answer them all. Because when I get them on tuesday, I don't have a lot of time to answer, because all of the mail seems to come after p-day is over. So just if possible that would be awesome. But if not I understand you are all busy. How are those little fury lellows? I haven't heard any good stories this week about them. What are you all doing for fun? It is still summer for you guys, and I am not hearing about any adventures...Dad I was just realizing we didn't get to go on any hikes or camping trips before I left. I guess we know what we are going to do when I get back right?
Ok so I have a few stories, today we had a meeting with the Argentine consulate. He flew here to sign our stuff instead of making the church fly us all out there. So that was very nice. But he was talking about Argentina for a little bit and was telling everyone else how hot there missions were going to be. And then he said all of the missions I didn't mention yet, well you guys are all going to freeze. And the whole time I was cheering in my head. Because I would much rather be cold than hot. I mean I was raised to liked the cold I guess. But he was just telling everyone that a good sallary for an Argentine, is around 10-12,000 dollars a year. So most of the people are going to be poor. Also he was saying that you will have your personal space invaded a lot. Most of the time because that is just the culture, but other times because people are trying to mug you, so just to be aware. So that was good to hear about.
Another story, so this week we had somebody substitute our class, and he was our investigator for the day. So when we were teaching, my companion for some reason that it would be a great idea to start by teaching him the great apostasy. But right after he said there was an apostasy, he didn't have anything to back it up with. So I was like well we are in this now. I was trying to recover, and get the lesson on a different track, but he just kept saying the same thing over and over again and not backing it up. So needless to say, that lesson was a bust. But that is why we are in the MTC right. Ya I laughed about it for like twenty minutes afterwards, because that is all I could do. So that was a fun experience.
Mom I don't know in what method to get you my info for the bank, because I don't feel like e-mail would be safe. Is there any way you can get my account number, because I think my pin number is saved in my phone or something under the number for america first. Just check and if not, tell me how to get it to you...Just let me know.
So I just got back from the temple, and got letters from mom and ben. So I figured I should add to this before sending it off. Mom that was a cool story. I am not worried at all. Because we did initiatories today, and just hearing that blessing again, is amazing, because if I am doing what I am supposed to I will be protected. But I really did like the story. Because I remember you always telling me that when Ben was gone, that boompie? don't know how to spell it, but you always said that he was with him. But I remember being jealous, because I didn't get to be with him. I know that grandma nammie is with me for sure. Because she was always there to make everyone happy. So when I am happy for no reason, I just feel like that could be the reason. I don't know, but thanks for the story I really enjoyed it.
The pants worked great, they seem to be holding up a lot better, thanks for those. So I have gotten three packages so far, I hope that is all you have sent, and I didn't not get one. Also I have heard from a lot of people that it takes forever to send stuff to Argentina, like three months, or something like that. So just be aware. I am sure you know all of the tricks about sending stuff, but everyone says to put pictures of mary or Jesus in a place where they would have to rip it to open the package. Because they claim people won't do that down there. So just what I have heard. Also I haven't heard anything more about the bed nets, so I think you will have to fill me in on everything like that.
I don't really have a lot to say, because once we have gotten into the groove of things it is the same old thing everyday. So if you want more ask me questions, because I don't have very many exciting stories.
I love you all and thanks for the letters and support. I know I have been given the best family ever. So keep it all coming.
Con Amor,
Elder Wheeler
P.S. I don't know if I said this earlier, but if I get your letters before tuesday, when I am doing laundry I have plenty of time to answer, but I only had one letter to answer to this morning so if you don't want a really short letter I need it before p-day. Other than that I love hearing from you and will send some out soon.
