So as usual something came up and so I don´t have a ton of time to write. But that´s okay because saturday will be p day again and that is not too far off at all. So first thank you all for the birthday wishes. It was great to hear from all of you. I had a great birthday. Hermana Ence asked me when I wanted lunch. She was going to do it in the office. But then I asked her if we could do it on Sunday. She had no problem with that and so I got to go over there for lunch. She invited all of the office Elders and the sister missionaries that are in this ward to come as well. It was really fun. We just went and we got there early so we helped her cook the rest of the stuff. And then we just got to eat really good food. It is not too often that you get real food. I mean not that there is anything wrong with the food here, but it gets old. Especially when you can´t get a hold of a lot of stuff. So it was really good to just go and be able to relax a bit and have some good food and be with all my buds.
Later when I got out of the shower there was a giant candy card on my bed. Ya know the one where you make a story with the names of the candy. It was really cool. I took some pics with it, but don´t have them with me to share them. So then that night when we got back to the apartment all of the zone leaders were there for their meeting the next day and so they had organized it so when I came in that they would sing happy birthday. It was quite loud with like thirty people singing to you. And even more awkward just having to stand there. But it was really a fun day. I am glad I got to do it here with all of the office elders because in other areas there are only two of you maybe four tops. But here there were a bunch of people and it just made it that much better. I can´t believe that I am already twenty. My how time flies.
So you guys were asking how much longer I will be in the offices. Well I don´t really know. I mean I have atleast 6 more weeks maybe twelve. Transfers are this next week so I won´t know for sure if I am training someone here or if I will have another transfer alone. I was talking with President the other day and just told him that I was fine with it either way. And it sounded like I would be staying another transfer by myself. But like my first transfer I had no idea what was going on so I don´t know what is going to happen. But probably for a little bit longer I would imagine.
I am still liking it. I mean when I get to get out and be a missionary at the time that we are supposed to it is great. I love being able to be out with the people and do the work that I have been called to do. It is so fun and I need the language practice, because being here I feel like I have lost some of it. Because unfortunately we always speak in English in the offices. Because before I was only speaking in spanish with everyone because I lived with only people that spoke spanish apart from my companion. So I feel like I have lost a little bit of that practice, and it makes it hard. But I was talking with President and he was saying he wanted people to be talking in spanish in the offices anyway so that is what I have been trying to do.
I am just loving life right now. I mean there are just as many bad times as there are good, but the good ones far outweigh anything that the bad ones are. And looking back I really only remember the good times. It is an interesting concept of how the memory works, but also a good one.
Anyway I got my package on tuesday. I didn´t know it was supposed to be a birthday package or I would have waited. But I love my old lady cardigan. Just kidding but I really like my cardigan. It is perfect. Exactly what I wanted! So thanks for whoever picked that out. And also all of the candies too are great. It is just always so great to get a package. It doesn´t really matter what is in them, it is just actually getting something from home that I love. So thank you for those who helped to do that.
I love you all and I had a wonderful birthday, thank you all for the birthday wishes and I hope you celebrated good for me! Thanks for everything and I will talk to you on Saturday!
Love,
Elder Wheeler
