Missing the snow!

Hey Everybody,

How is everything in the snow? I would be very happy for snow right now. It was 95 or higher yesterday and humid. Bleh. That is the worst for walking around all day. So ya that was fun, but ya know that's life for now. It is only going to get hotter. How were the trick or treaters? Did you get a lot of them. Was it snowing for halloween? Is it snowing a lot? When you send a package will you send pics of the snow. Like in kamastoo or something. Because I am not really going to have it for a while from what I hear. So I want some pics of it if you can. Also on the spices mom, I really don't know, anything that we normally use. 

So it was great to hear from you all. It sounds like you are all doing great. Oh mom I thought of something you could do so that I could write to parker. I don't really know if there is a rule for me because no one has said anything, so I just write to family and steve haha. But if he emailed them, they could forward to my email and I could do the same to you guys for him. Just if he has the rule of not being able to send to others. I don't know if you already had that idea but that would be fastest. 

So Utah has won two in a row now???? Ya buddy! I missed being able to watch it a ton in the mtc just because I was so close to it all. But now all I hear about is boca and river. Which are the two big soccer teams in Argentina. So when either are playing, we don't see anybody in the street and no one answers the door. So if the games are playing we don't get to teach anybody. So from the sounds of dads letter about the other elders in south america, I think it is about the same. When the big teams play you don't get to talk to anybody. But it is good. I am having fun. 

So it was fast sunday here as well, and I know I never got up and bore my testimony there, so I figured what better way to practice my spanish than share my testimony haha. Ya I think they understood me but I was terrified. My bud that I baptized was sitting next to me and said that if I went he would go, so I got up and did it, and then he did not haha. Because it was near the end and then after the next ones the bishop didn't give anytime, he was at the pulpet at closing time. But ya it was good, because I need all of the practice I can get.

We had a family home eveining with one of the members and they all said that I was progressing, since the first week. So that is good, I haven't gotten worse haha. But in all reality I am understanding almost all of what people say. I can follow the whole conversation until they ask me a question and then I get scared and can't understand them. But when there is no pressure I understand the majority of things. I mean obviously I don't understand all of it, because there are so many different ways that people say things. But it is coming slowly but surely. So ya I am feeling ok with my progress. Because I have only been here a month. 

I about killed pheasant face this week. ok not really but I was mad. Because we were sitting there in our planning session and I was just agreeing with what he was saying. And he said I feel like I am the only one giving input and your just sitting here. And I said yep that is exactly what is happening. Because I have been here a month and I don't know what is going on apparently. Because everytime I do suggest something you just change it to what you want anyway. So there is really no point for me to say anything. Ya it was really hard to just forget about it so that we could have the spirit and work. Because when your trainer expects you to do something that he hasn't shown you how to do...it doesn't really make sense to me. So I had to have a lot of patience that day. haha I have to have a lot of patience everyday. Now it's better, because I just don't worry about it. Just forget and move on. It is hard to do, but it has to be done if we want to have success. It is like hiring someone and telling them to go out and work before training them, and then getting mad because they don't know what they are doing. Ya it makes sense if you don't think about it. 

So that was my story for the week. But hey I only have one more transfer with him, so I just need to make the best of it and maybe patience is what I need to learn, so pray that I can have the patience to work with this doodle brain.
Anyway all in all I am only getting a stronger testimony of all of this and having a good time for the most part. So thanks for all of the letters and I hope all is well. Talk to ya next week.

Love,
Elder Wheeler
