How is everybody? It has already been another week crazy I know. I am thinking that this time thing is only getting faster as we go. It doesn´t seem to be slowing down for anything. But that is just how it is so we gotta work with what we have. I have just had a full week of things as usual. We got two new Elders in the offices this week, because the Accountant and Secretary both are training new people for their jobs. So there are two new elders that came in to be trained. They are both really cool. Elder Dugger is going to be the new one in charge of finances I don´t know if you would call it being the accountant or what but anyway. He is a really cool kid and we get along pretty well. He is from Syracuse. So not to far from the mutt. So we have become pretty good friends already it is pretty cool how it all works out. That you can know somebody for a day and already consider them friends. I love it.
So guess what I got this week, MY PACKAGE!!!! It was great thanks so much for doing that drivers license whoever was in charge of that. And also for the rest of the stuff that was in there. Rach that hair stuff works great, you are welcome to keep that coming haha. I don´t know how long it will last me but it works great for what I wanted. Also I was going to ask that you send me my red beanie are a black one like it or something. Because I like the long ones better. The one I have is really small on my head and I don´t do well like that. So I am borrowing one from another Elder for a bit. So whenever you could send that or if not I will just buy one or something. The reason I am asking for it is because for some reason out of nowhere, we just got hit by a freezing front. It was in the short sleeve weather this last week and then this week it has been enough to wear my coat and hat and scarf and stuff. It is pretty cold I must say. I mean it says that right now it is in the low forties or something, but it feels a lot colder than that out there. I am not so sure that this weather app is so accurate. But if it is too much of a hassle to send things just tell me and I will see what I can do to go buy stuff on p-days. So let me know. But ya it has been super cold and also rainy so we have been having to be pretty bundled up to go out and work. But that is ok I am loving the cold. I like it a lot more than the heat. I realized that I should have brought a lot more things to wear for cold weather though. I was not even thinking about that, but oh well. So story time, um I was asking Sister Ávila where I could go to find a scarf. Because I don´t really like the one that I brought. And so she was like well I will just give you one. Because they have stuff for the Elders that don´t bring it. And so I was telling her that I just wanted to know where it was because I know that I can afford to go buy it. And so finally I talked her out of it. But then at the end of the day I was sitting there waiting for my Comp. and she was going through all of the clothes she looked over at me and smiled and pulled out a scarf. I was trying to argue with her to tell her No but she wasn´t having it and then wrapped it around my neck and told me I had to take it. And then President walked in and said ooh! the colors of San Lorenzo which is his soccer team. Blue and red. I was still trying to take it off and give it back but she wouldn´t let me and then President was like I bought that one while it was on a discount with my own money not the missions so you have to keep it haha. It was really nice of them and of course I thanked them, but it was just one of those things that I knew I couldn´t except. I mean after a President telling me that I had to keep it, there wasn´t much I could do about it. It was really nice of them and I was impressed by their willingness to give eventhough they knew that I could afford it and everything. They are both just so great and I have had such a blessing to be here with them and get to know them on a more personal level. I love it so much and will miss it for sure, but also it is hard to be in the offices and not get to work in my area too much. Because I am not happy unless I am out working and doing what I came here to do. I didn´t come here to just sit and be an office worker. And that is what president doesn´t want us to feel like. He wants us to be able to go work everyday by 4. But unfortunately my companion doesn´t always feel the same way and thinks that everything here is more important so we have to sit in the office all night sometimes. But oh well. Some things that you just have to deal with and work through.
Alright so to explain the pics that are there. The first two are of my buds from Panama. They both went home this past week. And so I had to get a pic with them. I don´t like the lighting in the pics they look super bad, but anyway those are my buds. The tall one is Elder Arauz, and the other short one is Elder Obaldia, the one that I spent my first three transfers with in San Rafael. He was the zone leader that I lived with. It was sad to see my buds go but also happy for them to be done and moving onto something else in life. The next step. Then there are some of the trip that I went on with President. Some mountain shots, and also one of me out in front of the hotel that we stayed at. It was a super fun thing that not many can say that they have had the chance to do with President. I had a ton of fun! Another reason I have been so blessed to be out here, and just learn from a wonderful President. But anyway I don´t have much else to say right now. I am really tired as always but I am having fun nonetheless. I hope you are all doing great, I love you and thank you for all that you do for me. I love this experience that I am able to take part in at this time in my life and I wouldn´t trade it for anything in the world. Thank you again for the package it was great. I am going to try and email a letter home to get to Parker if that is possible.
Love you all,
Elder Wheeler
