DL in Estanzuela

Hey Everybody,

Well there have been some huge changes this week. I have left the offices. It has been a long time coming about seven months haha. But it has been a great time. I am also very excited to be out right now and having the opportunity to serve the people as well as the other missionaries. As you have heard I am now a district leader so I am in charge of a few peoples now. I have two elders that live with us that are both from buenos aires and also two sisters in my district so it is interesting. I am now in the area of Estanzuela, that is what it is called. And I got here last wednesday and already the members are just so great. We have a great ward mission leader that actually served the mission here like two years ago. He was the first person yet that has known where Kamas was. And you want to know why. It is because he knew Bill while he was here. He said he was his Zone leader and that he had the most fun with him while he was here. So we were talking all about that. It is just so cool to have that connection. He is a really cool guy. If you see Bill ask him if he knew Elder Gonzalez from Chile. First name Andres I think it is. So that was just really cool to be able to instantly have an in with the ward mission leader. And then the rest of the members are just great. There are some recent converts that Elder Sheridan my mtc comp found when he was getting trained here so that was also cool. So ya I just was supposed to come to this area to get to know some of these cool people and hopefully help some more to come to know this gospel.  It has just been a great week. 

I mean it is for sure hard to learn how to be a district leader, but it is fun. I get to talk to all of the missionaries about their areas every night and get to know their investigators. So it has been awesome to get to do that. But I am so much more tired now...we are up doing stuff making sure everyone is good and ready. I have just been exhausted all week long. But it has been so much fun...I love my area and they have already baptized four in this area for this month so we met the goal before I got here and there are a ton more people that we are finding that are going to be ready to be baptized soon so it is just great and I am enjoying my time so much. 

How is the weather there? It is starting to warm up down here I think. We have some cold days, but for the most part it is pretty warm. So I think the cold is pretty well done, well there wasn´t any cold to begin with. These people would die in utah. Nobody understands what 7 months of winter means
Alright mom to answer your questions I am now out of the offices yes. But not by much. The area I am in, I can see my old one from up on the hill. I look over and can see were I just was. So I am like fifteen minutes from the offices by bus or twenty to thirty walking. Still in the same department of the city, but it is a good area. The members take very good care of us. And now p day is back to monday..so the letters will be back to mondays.

Anyway thanks for everything, I am doing great, just loving my new area and being too busy to think about anything else. But I love you all and hope to hear from you soon. Hope you all have a great week and that you´re having some fun still. 
Love your favorite Elder,
Elder Wheeler
