No regrets


Hey Fam,

Well how is everybody? I am doing pretty good. Unfortunately I have some bad news. We heard news from President that my comp will be on the first plane back to Ecuador either today or tomorrow. Whenever the first leaves. So ya he is pretty shaken up about that but it is best for him. Because his situation is pretty serious and as Presdient had told him that if he would have told people about everything that he had that he wouldn`t have even received a call. He is headed home and not too happy but it is already decided and so there isn`t anything that he can do about it,  we are a pretty sad about that, but it has been good the time that we have had together. We were talking about it and it has just been a good experience for the both of us. I have learned a ton. And well now I will be without a companion for a bit so I will be in a trio with the other elders that we live with for a bit. I don`t know for how long, but ya that is all that I have heard for now. 

So after monday of all day in the hospital we spent the majority of the week there doing tests for him to get the things done that he needed to. And now he knows that he couldn`t stay and do everything he needs to do to be able to get better. So he will be home tomorrow to get everything figured out and start the treatments and hopefully in like six months he will be able to come back and finish. So ya that is the big news from the week. 
In other news it is boiling hot and it is hotter than it has ever been before. Because before for like one or two days it would be really warm and then it would cool back down, but we have like two weeks of straight hot hot weather. It has been over a hundred for the majority of the days. That isn`t too fun, but ya know.. it is okay. 

The ward was trying to organize food plans for my comp because we were all planning on him staying, but now they are all sad. But that is the name of the game. He got to come for a minute and experience what his mission will be like so that when he gets better he can come back and do everything he needs to.

But ya other than that nothing has happened big. Yesterday we made a really good dessert. Someone had a cookbook from the states so they picked a banana nut roll thing. It was pretty good. I mean I am not a big fan of the whole nuts things inside of food but it was good nonetheless. 

I don`t have a ton to tell this week as always time is short, but it has been a great week. I am sad to see my comp go but it has been great to get to know him and you just have to be thankful for the time you are given with people and not worry about what could have been. I have no regrets and hope to never have regrets with the experiences that I have in life. I know that everything happens for a reason and I just try to take advantage of every moment that I have here. I love it and wouldn`t trade it for anything. 

Thank you all for everything that you do for me. I love you all so much and hope that you have a great week. I will send pics next week when I am in a place to be able to send them. But anyways until next week I love ya and have a good one.

Love,
Elder Wheeler
