Hola!
How is everybody doing? It looks like you had a lot of fun at the halloween party. It is weird for it to be halloween already, and not any different then the other days. People know about it here, but it's not a holiday. They know about it because they get all of the tv from america just translated so all of the halloween shows are on right now. Ok it's not all from america, but the majority of it is. But anyway thanks for all of the pics and stuff. It is so fun to be able to see how everyone is doing. I am glad you are having some fun.
Let's see this week flew by. It's good because I still have another transfer with this yahoo. They cut this transfer short and added a week to the next. So this week is transfers for everyone else. But for the trainers and trainees it doesn't matter because the new program makes it so that you are there for two transfers. But I already hit a month in Argentina! Is that crazy or what? That means I have already been gone for more than three months. I can't believe that. I mean in the moment it sometimes feels like I am going to be here forever. But then when I look back it has flown. So that is cool.
We are teaching quite a few people. But then there is just not enough time to do everything. We have appointments all throughout the day and just not enough time do everything. So that is hard, but good because I mean we don't have any time to have to worry about. The members are awesome and always tell us that we can come by whenever we need to. So that is comforting. We had a plan to go see one of the counselors in the bishopric for like fifteen or twenty minutes. And it turned out that they had a whole family night planned and so we ended up being there for a lot longer. But it was good because they gave us like three families to go visit. And so it has all been very productive. We just don't have anytime to go visit the new references that we are getting. So That is good. I mean I would much rather it be like this with too much to do rather than not enough. So that has been awesome.
We had a really cool experience on sunday. Because by saturday night we didn't have anybody committed to come to church. So I mean that sucks because we had been trying all week, but things just weren't working out. And then sunday came and it was the primary program. So there were two guys that had kids in the program, but aren't members. So we had two there. And then we have an investigator that we have invited a ton, but just never seems to have the desire to come. And she had come with her brother in the other ward that meets in our building because his kids were giving talks in their ward. So it is just cool how everything works out for you when you do what your supposed to. It is just amazing to see all of the blessing the lord has in store for you if you just do your part of the work. I mean no one is ever perfect, but when you try it is what matters. So that was very cool.
Tell kyle when you see him I am doing exactly what he said. We don't knock doors at all. Because it is just not helpful when there are so many other things that show more results. Especially here because everyone is catholic and when they have a door to stand behind they don't listen to anything that you have to say. So I am just glad that we don't have to do that right now. Because the time takes forever when you aren't teaching people. So I just am happy and content with how everything is working out. I mean the comp is a little difficult sometimes, but that is what happens when you live with someone twentyfour seven. I just need to stay patient and make sure I learn what I need to from him, so I don't have to repeat it later on in my mission. But ya it is going pretty darn good.
Mom I don't know what recipes, just simple stuff that doesn't take forever to make. I was thinking the other day if you send a package that maybe you could send some of the flavor packets from ramen noodles. Because noodles are cheap and that is something easy that I could make. So maybe some sauce recipes for pasta... or something. Don't know because they don't have a ton of ingredients down here. And if they do it doesn't taste a whole lot like it should. Like for example soy sauce is not soy sauce. It was something else haha. Because I figured I would try some for my noodles. No bad idea. It was not right. Not a flavor I can really describe other than it wasn't soy sauce haha. So I don't know just whatever you think will work or can do would be great.
Also tell me when you send packages so we can figure out about how long it takes to get to me. Because not only does it have to go through the mail service, but then it sits in the mission office until someone goes to mendoza and can pick all of the stuff up. So when you do please tell me when. And yes if you want to send a christmas package early I can wait to open it. Just try to remember those guidelines in my first letter. I don't know if it was just the old man being ornery because he had to go get them or what. But ya put some letters or something in them too when you send them please and or pictures. Like if you get something from gack or some of my friends like that. I don't know if you could but you should see if cade would write me something too. And letters from you guys. Because letters are always nice to have to go back and read. But whatever you can do will be fine.
I am still eating my food from my travel kit. I am trying to make it last as long as possible because there is nothing else like it here. I mean there are things that I have found that I like, but at the same time it's just not the same. The milk sitch sucks. But I found some stuff that they make that is yogurt mixed with milk. I had some strawberry stuff last week that was good with cereal, but ya I miss being able to have milk. Because you can't just go get a glass of it and drink it. Anyway it is a good experience to have. I am just glad that it doesn't last forever. haha
Well that is what I have for this week. I hope all is well at home and you are all having fun. I can't wait to hear about it next week, hopefully it will be a good one for you guys as well. Because I am banking on it being a good one for me haha. Anyway I love you all and thanks for everything.
Love,
Elder Wheeler
