Hey fam,
So how is everybody? So that gack movie was great. It was making me laugh, although he said he was going to kill me haha. Oh I miss the little dude, that isn´t so little anymore. So how was steve handling everything? Does he have my email address? If not could you let me know when you find out what his is. Because I would like to be able to talk to him. Anyway I hope you gave him a hug for me. So where are all of the Weller going? I haven´t ever been filled in on that info. So let me know where they are all going. Also did you guys sit in the usual bench in sacrament or are we the outcasts still up there. Have we been replaced by a regular or was it a newbie?
So the zone conferences were all pretty fun. I mean I heard the same thing 10 times so that got a little old. But I learned a ton being with President. He is such a great guy and this trip helped me to see that even better. And to answer your question I have no idea what I took while I was sick. I was half asleep and President just told me to take it so I did. And I felt better after so that was good. But he said it was something usually used for nausea in pregnant women or something to that affect. So I am not sure but it helped haha, so I can´t complain.
I can´t remember what I told you about all of it last week. Because we only had two of them in San Juan this week. But it was fun to be able to be there. I was able to see all of my friends from the MTC so that was really fun. I saw my MTC companion too and it was really cool to see how much we have both progressed since then. We are pretty good friends and had some fun catching up on everything. And also everybody else that was in my district. So it was fun to catch up on everything. Because it has been a long time since seeing any of them.
So we are about a half hour away from our area every time we go, so it is hard to get a lot of work in. Especially when we can´t leave when we want. So when we go out, we have to hurry around to everything and try to make the best of a really short time of being in the area. This is the first transfer that I won´t have baptized because we just haven´t been in the area. It is hard to do all of the work that the office requires and get people progressing in the gospel. But it is fun either way. The zone conferences were all centered on getting references from the families in the plan 5/5/5. I think the plan is called working together there or something like that. But it is where there are five families from the relief society, elders quorum, and high priest group that the ward wants to work with to get re-activated. And so with these families that are less active we go and try and find ways to help them get involved in missionary work because that is one of the best ways to start coming back to church when you know you have to help somebody else get there. So one of the families we are working with, we went by and actually found them home for the first time on Easter. The other elders in the area had wanted to take them off of the plan because they weren´t ever coming or keeping any of their commitments. But we got a number and talked to the daughter for a minute. Then on Sunday they were all there in church. So that was pretty great. They came to church without us even getting to talk with them. So they were ready to start coming back. And then we went and had a little chat with them that sunday afternoon. And they had some chocolate milk and little biscuits and jam for us. It was really fun to talk with them, because the guy has been a bishop, and he was a bishop in the place where President Ávila was serving as a missionary. So he knows him pretty well. And he was just telling us the whole time that it was time to come back, that they were sick of not coming, and that they weren´t going to let anyone else offending them be a reason for not coming. I swear every person that has gone in-active is only because somebody was inconsiderate and said something to hurt their feelings. If we could just watch what we say and be a little more tactful in the way we do things, we would not have near as many members outside of the church as we do. But unfortunately it is not that way yet.
Anyway I have been doing great since being sick, it doesn´t affect me for more than a day or two, which is really nice. I have been very lucky and not been sick as many times as most other people get here. I have a goal to never go to the hospital here so I am going to be staying healthy.
Alright mom on the sweaters I was thinking just blacks, greys, blues, or reds. Obviously they are supposed to be somewhat conservative, but I am not a big fan of just the plain ones. I like argyle or ones like that. Or stripes or something I don´t know. And ya I think v-neck is the best option. Just swing it through rachuuul´s approval and we will be good. Also I was thinking if it is possible I would love one or two of those tie clips out of Boompies box down in my bathroom. I think silver is the best color, but I don´t know which ones are in there. I really like the tie clips, but just don´t want to go buy one when I already have some there. So if that is possible I would love those. Also I need some pens to do highlighting in the the scriptures or maglazines. Because I don´t really like the crayon or pencil types, they always rip the pages or just leave a bad residue on it. So if you see anything, like maybe skinny highlighters or the really really fine tip pens. So that I can write in the margins and be able to fit it all. Or maybe one of those multi-color pens. The Chip Hayes ones haha. He always had the blue and white pen that has like four different colors in it. Rach will know what it is I think. Also Elder Allen who is my new buddy that had to get the kidney stones out, has a really cool framed pic of his family and I thought that would be really cool to have to set up on my desk. So if you found a frame or something with a good family pic or somethin I would really enjoy that. These are all just ideas, so if you can´t don´t feel bad I understand.
Also I haven´t received the last package yet. Don´t worry as soon as I get a package I will let you know that week. I just haven´t received any yet, so I didn´t say anything. But also pics are always great if you have any new ones that you want to send. I don´t have any good Hawaii ones. So if you want to send some of those. Also of the mountains, the mountains are not the same down here. They are all just bare and boring. haha. Anyway some ideas for you guys if you have time. Oooh also maybe some uncle dan´s dressing packets if possible? Sweaters are what I don´t have, and ties are always fun to get too. I will keep thinking of stuffs and let you know as I have been doing if this helps you know what to send me. I don´t know if there is such a thing, but do they sell mountain dew in powder form or something like that? I have no idea if it exists but that would be really fun to have also. Anyway that is all for now, thank you so much for everything and for the great family that you are. I can´t imagine possible being in a better one. I love you all, and am so thankful for all of you. You have all done more than you know for me and it makes the difference and you are the reason I can still be here and not have to worry about anything. So thanks and I love you all,
¡Hasta la semana que viene!
Les amo,
Elder Wheeler
