How is everybody this week? It flew by like always but it was a good one. My new comp Elder Howard had a birthday yesterday. So we were celebrating a little with him because we have so much free time on our hands to do stuff like that, haha not! But in the little we did have we tried to make it special for him. It was a fun day though and he seemed to like it. Okay so there are some chocolate eggs that have toys down here that are called kinder surprises. I don´t know if they have them at home. But they are like the size of a normal egg. And they have a little toy in them. So the other day we were at a little kiosco and they had giant ones. So Elder Howard tried to buy one, but didn´t have enough money with him. So I knew exactly what I was going to get for him because he really wanted it. But it is hard to surprise someone that is with you 24/7. So I remembered what mom always did to us. Eventhough we knew she was getting something for us we couldn´t ask questions or peak. So I told him to wait a little bit away and that he couldn´t ask questions becasue it was christmas. He told me his mom said the same thing to him so we were laughing about that. But I bought the egg for him and he never peaked or anything so he was somewhat surprised when we got back to the apartment because he didn´t look. I mean he knew that I had picked something up for him but atleast he didn´t know what it was until we got back to the apartment.
So that was fun and then we found this pizza place that supposedly had pepperoni pizza. Lie!!! but they did have chicken wings that were really good. The pizza on the other hand that was really expensive for the supposed pepperoni did not have it on there. But we had a little celebration for him then. Also Hermana Ence made lunch for everyone because it was his birthday so we sang to him and I had purchased a candle a week or two ago. Because I was going to use it on my cake. But then we ended up going to President´s house and Hermana Avila made me one. So I never had used it. So we got it out for the lunch. And it was pretty cool. It was like a mini firework. It shot out a ton of sparks, I will try to send the pics I got of it. But ya it was fun.
Alright so yesterday when we went out to work we went out with a member. I have been to their house and it is full of cats. So not your favorite smell ever right. And to top it all off Elder Howard is allergic to cats. So we went and we were trying to get him out of their as fast as we could, because the guy was taking us to visit some people but we didn´t want to be in his house for too long. And then he wips up some hot chocolate and some pastries and so we were in their for a while. But as we were sitting there the cat smell was just horrific and then the wiff of poo came in. We couldn´t figure out what the smell was until we looked over and there was a cat laying a giant surprise in the corner. Sorry for the descriptiveness but it was human size. And man did it smell bad! So then the guy walks out and sees it smacks the cat gets the shovel and flushes it down the toilet and continued like nothing happened. Oh man I was trying so hard to not laugh and throw up at the same time. It was just one of those experiences. One I will not forget in the near future.
But ya we are having fun together, we work well together as well. We came at the same time so that is pretty cool. We didn´t meet in the mtc but talked a little bit on the trip to Argentina. But it is really good.
That is my good story for the week. I hope you have all enjoyed it and I will try to have one as good next week!
It sounds like you are having fun helping all of the new missionary families. Just tell them it will go by faster than they can imagine. Service is always the best thing to do.
Well I love you all and hope you all have a great week.
Love,
Elder Wheeler
P.S. Mom the pizza went great and also Elder Allen is from Idaho. I don´t know when he will be coming to visit but hopefully sometime soon.
