So it has been a quick week as usual and so not too many stories, but today was full of stories. So it is p day of course and so president invited us to come to his house because they were having that parade thing that we saw on the last mission president´s blog. I think rach saw it and was telling me about it.
But anyway so we left this morning to come here and by the time we got close they were already starting to shut the roads down. So we had to figure out a way to get under the police tape haha. No we just asked them if we could get through because we had a house that we needed to, not just going to drive around. So he let us come in. And so we had some pastries for breakfast and just got to be in the house. It was really fun. And then we went down to the parade. But the problem with the parade is it is basically a beauty pageant thing they do between all of the departamentos that are close to Mendoza, so basically every city has their queen and then after all of it they choose one to be the winner. But we were out there, and of course the missionaries stick out.
First I was with Elder Burr and we were taking pictures of one of the floats, but it turns out that the queens or princesses were watching us, so they were posing for the pictures. Ya that was a little embarrassing haha. Not at all what we were trying to do, but ya a little awkward. And then Sister Avila was giving us a hard time and saying that we were flirting with them. But not at all the case and she just loves to give us a hard time. So that started the parade and then we were a little hesitant to take too many more pictures for that to happen again, but it was fun nonetheless.
In the parade they throw fruit. And the other great thing about the missionaries sticking out is that they all throw the fruit to you if you act like you want it. So we just went a little bit out in the road and put our hands up and they threw a ton of fruit to us. It was really fun. One of the Elders got on another´s shoulders and went up to the float and they gave him a melon. It was really fun. Only the only thing is, is that we are still at presidents house, so I can´t upload my photos. So I will have to put them on for you guys next week.
Also that movie that I told you about the first week I got to this area that we were in. It came back and it is a training video that they will use for the secretaries. Anyway here is the link if you want to watch.. its in Spanish though.
But anyway I just thought that was fitting because ganz and rach are doing the hairs for all of the prommers this week.
So we got waved at by all the queens haha. And those that had microphones were talking to us in English. It is like we are a fan attraction or something, they have never seen us before haha. But it was really fun and we also got to spend the day with president and his family. This has been my most embarrassing and most fun p day that I have had yet. It is fun that I have gotten to experience all of this, in just a short time too. I will be here for a while so it will be fun to be able to experience more. I hope I will have some good stories for you all. I don´t have a ton of time today because there are a ton of us and not very many computers here at president´s house. So I wanted to share my fun story for the week and I hope it was entertaining. So thank you all for the support it is so fun to get your letters and be able to here from all of you. I love you all and hope you all have a good week. I will have more next time, but this week we are getting cut a little short. I hope all is well and sorry for the short letter this week. I will have more time and do better next week.
Love you guys,
Elder Wheeler
