I ended up giving away the other singing tie as well to my comp because he picked the only one that didn`t sing at first. So I gave him two of them so he can have them for next year. Because I won`t be needing them. No but he really liked them so that was good. And then he gave me a really cool tie as well. It is a tie from ecuador like one that the natives made I can`t think of the word right now in english to explain it, but it is white. So ya pretty cool. We headed back to the apartment after talking and then we just slept and ya not too many things out of the ordinary. It was a good day but for real does not feel like christmas has already passed for a second time while being here. I cannot believe how fast the time flies when you work hard and you are enjoying it. I love it right now. My comp is a really good kid, it is really good. I mean it is different living with someone from a complete different culture, but it is a great experience. And I only talk in spanish so it is fun. Because I have been able to improve my ability little by little. And this transfer just ended but since I am training we are together one more. And then the other Elder that was with me last year in San Rafael that has been with us this transfer is training as well right now. So we will have two brand new elders in the apartment with us. It will be a good experience. I have had a lot of fun living with three latins. It has been interesting, but very good at the same time. It is like the mission itself. It is trying at times, but overall there is nothing better in my life that I could be doing right now. I love being a missionary.
Not a whole lot happened this week after talking because not a whole lot of people have been home. But there is this one lady that we have been passing by and she is just loving the book of mormon. We are reading with her when we go by and she just loves everything that we have been sharing with her. She has had problems with just about all of the other churches and now with us she says she just always feels good when we are around and that everything that we have talked about has made her feel really good. So the spirit is working with her very strongly. She lost her son a few years ago and so we have been trying to teach her the plan of salvation and it is helping her to see the purpose of everything and not hurt so much. And these are the reasons I love being a missionary because you get to see giant changes in peoples lives and how the gospel can bless them and does bless them. Also it is one of the few times in your life when you can feel so loved. Well you are loved and hated at the same time. Because with all of the members or people that have talked with the missionaries before and understand what we are doing, just love us to come over and always feed us. And then you have the other side, but that is nothing compared to the love that you feel from everyone.
Well fam that is all I have for this week. I will be back to normal time for writing next week so I hope that that works for you guys. This week again the place closes early so we had to come early and so it doesn`t really work out but anyway that´s alright.
But I love you all and it was great to see you all for christmas. Thanks for all of the treats and prezzies that I got in my packages. They were wonderful. So thanks for that and always for your prayers they help so thanks and we shall talk next week.
Love always,
Elder Wheeler
P.S. Mom I asked the shoe size of little Almendra(Almond in English) and it is size 20 but that would be the european size type so I am not sure what that would transfer to be. But maybe you could look and the shoes have those sizes on their too. Give me an estimate on how much they would be if you have time. I love you so much and thanks for all the help. Have they sent anything from school or scholarships...? I think all I have to do is let them know when I get back but just in case keep your eyes out for anything... thanks love ya
