What is going on in the snow? If it makes you feel any better it is like ninety degrees outside right now. So this week has flown by just like all of the other ones. How is everybody? I hope all is well, and it looks like the pups are doing what they always do, sleep! Man I wish I could have some of that right now. I never feel like I have enough sleep.

| Matchy Matchy |
An explanation of the pictures. I gave my ring to that hermana that is so awesome. I think I said that last week, but ya she bought me a jersey. And then since she was buying me one she bought Elder .. one as well. Because she didn't want him to feel bad. But ya I love it. It is an original is what they call it. It is like the jazz jerseys that they sew the stuff on. Ya the most expensive ones. I felt so bad when she bought it. I mean I just wanted her to have the ctr ring, I didn't need anything in return. I hope she didn't feel obligated to get them, but ya it is very cool. Every time I try to wear it someone else wants to be matchy matchy, so I put something else on. I am not really in to the matchy matchy haha. But anyway it is getting better. I just don't let the little crap bug me. I just act like everything is fine and it usually ends up that it is. It can only get better if I try to make it better. I have figured out that everyone else always looks out for number 1. But I just try to always help when I can, and not let the little things get in the way. So, this week has been a lot better in that case.
So the story of the lady we found last sunday. Ya she is already ready to be baptized. She still is very excited to get baptized and it is just so fun to go and teach her. Because she always has an open mind, and actually listens to what we say. Every time we go she makes us drink like six cups of juice and plates of cookies haha. I am not complaining it is nice to have a snack. She says that we are already like her grandkids. And we are always welcome in their house whenever we want. So it is so good to be able to see the lord's hand in all of this work. But the member that lives with her has three little girls. Two year old twins and a seven year old. Wow is that house hectic when we go. Those twins are tornadoes and rip up everything and jump on the table, I am sure you can imagine. But they like us too. They call us the manos. Because they can't say hermanos yet, so they just call us manos. And the difference between the word hermano and mano is brother and hands. So they call us the hands hahaha. It is so fun and always brightens up the day when we go to visit them.
We also have another guy that is preparing to be baptized on that day. And he has come to church with us for the past three weeks. I mean we have had to wake him up one of the times, but ya he loves it. He was almost baptized at this time last year but smoked the day of his baptism so couldn't be. And now we are working with him and he seems to have the desire and loves church and everything. But ya back to last sunday when we had to wake him up and walk him to church. He lives in part of a house. All of the exterior walls are standing, but only one of the rooms still has a roof. And the bathroom has a couple of walls but is not enclosed. Needless to say he doesn't have a whole lot of money. But he recycles stuff in the other part of the house or yard, or i don't know what to call it. So there are just big piles of bottles or plastic and all that jazz. But we went and had to wake him up. The interesting thing about knocking on someones door in Argentina is usually you aren't knocking...you clap your hands. Ya it was weird to me at first as well. But that wasn't working to well. Because he was sleeping, and couldn't here anything. So we knocked on the outside of the part of the house that still has the roof. Because that is where the door used to be and is still there, but is just not used. And he came out and didn't really look like he was going to want to go. But let us come in and we talked him in to getting ready. He got all ready and then was going to sit down and have some matte. But we were like uh it is already after eight and stake conference started at eight. So he went without his matte or morning cigaratte. And we walked the twenty minutes to the stake center in the pooring rain. But ya he loved it and still wants to be baptized from what he is telling us.
But other than that not too many stories to tell. We had an asado with some of the other elders in the zone at there house, and it was very very good. That is where the picture with Elder Obaldia was taken.
I have my first Argentina jersey as you can see and it is so freakin cool. Ya all of the native elders throw in freak with their spanish hahaha. But ya I am doing great and hope that everyone at home is as well. Mom how was the doctor? Do you know anything different? Matt-er I hope you have a good birthday, Man! So it is a little early but here is your Happy Birthday from me. Also Happy thanksgiving to you all. I love all of the pics of the pups in the emails, and I would love to see pics of you guys as well. Thanks for all of the support and prayers, let me know if there is anything you want from me. Em I am working on getting pics of the houses and the area. I will try to do that for next week. Anyway Have a good holiday week ereybody. Happy turkey day. Eat some for me, because I won't be able to.
Love,
Elder Wheeler
