It sounds like everyone is doing pretty good. I am glad to hear that. So the pictures attatched. First is a picture of a not sure what he has, but he has quite a few fuzzy channels. He is the brother of one of the members that lives like two houses down from us. But he reminds me of jack. But it is with soccer haha. It is so fun to talk with him.
And the other two are of our chapel. Em asked about what they looked like. I am still working on the houses. But those are some of the chapel for now.
For this week lets see... We got to celebrate a little dinner on thursday night for thanksgiving. But no turkey haha. Turkey is really expensive here, so none of that. But one of the hermanas that is in her thirties I think made some really good mashed potatoes so I was content. Because the chicken that they made was not very good and was still pink inside. So I tried to steer clear because I didn´t really want to be sick for the next few days. The sister missionaries are pretty proud of their cooking skills haha. Let´s just say I am not to impressed. But anyway it was fun to get to celebrate a little with the zone.
So this week I don´t really have any stories to tell. I mean we always work hard, but nothing out of the ordinary happened this week. This weekend coming we are having a baptism for that lady that I have told you about. She is so excited. And we have just been reviewing everything with her so that she feels good about it all.
Oh ya about the calling situations I am not sure on all of the details yet, but I will tell you the things that I do know. Unfortunately no they don´t get to skype down here. I was pretty dissappointed when I heard that, oh well. So apparently we set up a time on that day and you guys call me. Transfers are the 21st so we can´t really coordinate that yet. Because depending on when my new comp wants to call and if I am even in this area and all of that. So they are going to tell us all of the information later, but right now that is what I know. That you guys will be calling me. I am a little dissapointed that we don´t get to skype, but what can you do. I will let you know when I know more about it all.
So this past week we had two asados. Wow they feed you so much food here. First was the one with the elder´s quorum, because they have one planned for once a month. So that was really good. For that one we went to the church and got to play ping pong for a little bit. It was really fun. I wish I would have had my camera to take some pictures, but I can´t carry it around with me while we are proselyting..I will try to get some next time.
Then on sunday the ward mission leader and his wife invited us to go with them to one of the recent converts houses to have one. These converts live clear and the crap in the boonies. Like at the edge of what we have been to in our area. We haven´t quite been to the end because it goes forever, but ya. So we got to have one there as well. So I was pretty full for saturday and sunday. All they use to season the meat is salt. And it is just really good. Because they have a fire and get the coals really hot and then put a grate like one you would use camping over the coals and cook the meat. It is nothing special, but it is so good.
It was ward conference on Sunday because they released our bishop because he has been sick for a while and is almost 80 years old, so he can´t really do all of the things asked of him. But the new bishop they called is awesome. He was the first counselor and is a returned missionary, but he is just a really cool guy and I am excited to see what he will do.
Back to the dude in the picture with me. His name is Carlos. But we all call him Carlitos. He is in his 50´s and he lives with his sister because the parents died and he can´t live on his own. But he is a fan of boca and the rest of the family are river fans. Those are the two big rival teams here. So he gets a lot of crap for that. And he doesn´t come to church because he is always sleeping in. But he is a member and we are trying to get him to want to come. He wouldn´t come this week because he was going to the game in Mendoza, but he said that he would come this week so I hope so. He is just so fun to be around. Because he reminds me of gack. We are talking to him about coming to church and he is listening and then just turns the conversation into how many cups his soccer team has won. So ya we always leave there laughing our heads off. It is so fun. And the sister that owns the house likes us and always invites us over to have food and be with them. So it is really fun.
Mom I was wondering if you could check my card, because I don´t know how much I have on there. I pulled out about a hundred pesos from checking which would be about twenty five dollars. So would you check and see if everything is good, and how much I have on there?
It´s not a problem and I don´t need money, just wondering what it all is and if all of the funds are good. So just wondering.
But I can´t think of anything else to write about. So I hope all is well and that everyone is having some fun. Thank you all for the letters they help so much. Tell my friend lukas and my cousin Sean to write me a freakin letter. Those punks. But ya I am doing good. Every day is a different challenge, but I am just trying to stay positive and have a good attitude about everything. I know I don´t always but that is what I am working on. Because I know it makes everything better.
So I love you all and hope the holiday was good for you guys!
Love,
Elder Wheeler
P.S. I hear the Utes blew it. What is their record? If somebody has time send me a little update. I have heard about all of the games, but I don´t know the record. So if you can that would be cool.
