This is Federico an Elder that served here not too long ago and lives with the family that we had christmas dinner with. He is a cool kid and this was at dinner. Where the power was out and it was over a hundred degrees with the sun down.
This is a kid in the ward named Joaquin. He is only eight years old, but he asked me if I would baptize him. And so of course I said yes. His dad is not a member and his uncles and grandpa weren`t able to baptize him so he asked if I would and it was really fun.
This is the Gonzalez family with Elder Segovia. We were saying goodbye before he headed out. I don`t know if I sent pics of my comp before, but that is him.
This is little Almendra (Almond), she is the little wart that we are looking for the shoes for. She is a cute little thing and is just starting to talk. She is my little bud...
Hey Fam,
Well it has been a while since I have been able to send pics so here are a few of my many travels. I hope you enjoy them. I am going to try and send some others in another email. But for now if I run out of time here they are.
So anyway this has been a week full of stuff. My comp headed out tuesday in the morning and made it there tuesday in the night I assume I don`t know anything because I haven`t heard. So ya this week started off good, not! Tuesday night we had to go to the offices because we were in a trio and one of the elders had to go do some documents. So we had to sleep there. We got there late because the bus left us sitting for like an hour in the night waiting. We got there and then went right to bed because we were beat. Then at 4:30 in the morning the light gets flipped on and an elder comes in with a big gash in his harm. Like a chunk of flesh taken out. Ya not something that you really want to wake up to. But apparently as he was walking in the apartment at 4:30 in the morning which I am still wondering the reason he fell on the stairs and the railing was taken off because they were painting so only the little metal brackets that hold it on are there. And as he was falling he caught his fall on one of those and cut his arm pretty bad. There were only two of us that woke up to help the kid. And the other elder was the secretary. He was the one that had to go do the documents. So guess who got to go back to the hospital...Yep you got it ME! And so at five in the morning when no one is there. We went into the emergency room and he got stitched up while I got to do all of his paperwork. Such a fun morning.
Then we had to take him to do the documents because by the time we got out they had already left. And so I got to sit and wait there for a while before going back to the offices. And finding out that I had a mini missionary waiting for me. So I helped Sister Ence with some stuff that was happening on her computer and we headed to the area to work. The starting of the week a little hectic and I have not been able to catch up on sleep since then. I have been so tired everyday so far and it just isn`t fun because I am falling asleep everywhere. But that is what I was called to do so I just deal with it. It isn`t bad at all just the fact that I can`t stay awake for anything in the mornings haha.
My comp is from San Juan which is in our mission like two hours away. He is 18 and the oldest of five kids. He is a violin player since he was young. And is a pretty cool kid. We get along good.
Well google had blocked my account for something that I have no idea so I talked to President and he told me that I could finish writing now. So I will be finishing this letter up.
So today we had interviews and I got to talk to President. Man I love that man. He is such a cool guy and he helps me so much in everything that I am doing. I am so happy to be here as a missionary and to have had all of the experiences that I have had. I know that I am supposed to be here and that everything that has happened to me is for the better and that I have grown a lot in my time here as a missionary. I am very blessed and I know that everything in my life has been for the better of my experience. So thank you for everything that you have done for me to help me get to the place that I am right now. I know that you have all taught me great life lessons and they have helped me very much in my life.
But ya as always time is short because it is tuesday and President gave me a little time to write to you guys. So thank you for everything and I hope that all is well for you. I love you all and thank you for the support that you have always given me in my life. I know that you my family and friends are the reason I am the person I am and I am in the place that I am in my life right now. I wish you all the best week and we shall talk again next week!
Love,
Elder Wheeler
