Hello,
How's everyone? Wow, time is really going. I'm almost at 10 months. We had two people in church; one that is progressing, her name is Estella Bustos. Shes kinda weird but thats ok, she has a fake eye and she likes to talk. She is an older woman that lives sola. She believes that certain rocks give off good energy too. she also believes the Book of Mormon gives off good energy, so that's a step. I gave another talk yesterday on charity, I think it went pretty good. I sure am grateful to live in Utah where the church is so strong. I have had members tell me that they have been hurt more by other members of the church than anyone else in their life. It's so sad because church is supposed to be a place where we go to feel better and to be with others who share the same beliefs as us.
It's really great how much we learn as missionaries in one week. We learn many things that will help us not only in the mission but also to be better husbands, fathers, and future leaders of the church. I have already grown so much in the mission and I still feel like I'm one of the new guys.
Speaking of the change of the presidents, I think if we see a change in the way things run it will be this next week, because the zone leaders are going to their first meetings with him, and thats usually when things change is in those meetings.
Well I just got you a bunch of new pictures up on the Costco website, from tranfer 5 and some of 6. When I get home I will have to explain to you what they all mean and who they all are.
Elder Drennan is my comp. He is from Folsom, California, the same place as the Folsom Prison. We get along really well. The other day we got sixteen peso milanesa sandwhiches, they were the best sandwhich I've had in this country. I took a picture of half of it. They are huge, and it equivalates to 4 dollars.
Our other 4 best investigators kind of stopped answering our calls when we went to their house, so we are a little confused. That's what's hard is people don't tell you to your face that they aren't interested and then you try to get a hold of them and they just get more annoyed.
I haven't really thought too much about souvenirs. I'm thinking I will do that stuff the week before I go. I do have a goat horn that I wrote Malargue on though. I will get some mates, and some jerseys, maybe a bottle of wine or two, and some steak knives, I don't know we will see.
Yeah the computers kind of suck, but the one I got today is pretty good. Yes I live in La Consulta.
I'm good with clothes and everything. I sleep great; I don't even know where I would find an animal skin, maybe that will be something to get as a souvenior.
Are you guys at the cabin where I wrecked that four wheeler? Tell everyone hello for me. Sounds like you are all having a good time. When we went out there as a scout group there were some drunk guys who had a flat tire too, they had driven on it for quite awhile. Speaking of drunk people, I'm so glad that public intoxication is illegal back home. Because here it's not and teenagers drink right in front of the cops but they don't do anything. Oh and did I tell you that the other day we walked up to a guy and a girl and asked him what he was up to, and he said smoking marijuana, and sure enough he was rolling a doobie right on a street in broad daylight.
The only unusual animals I have seen are the dogs. They are everywhere, and they all are jacked up. There is one close to our pensh that turns in circles randomly when he is walking. All the dogs close to the ice cream stores are super fat, and we saw one go and sniff horse dung, and then it plowed it's head right into it. It was way gross, but we laughed for awhile. The bunny tasted better than chicken, maybe more like goat, or it could have just been how it was seasoned.
Right now I'm reading more Preach my Gospel , and I'm in 1st Corinthians. I love the four gospels and Jesus the Christ, they really changed my perspective on him.
Well hope all is well and hope you enjoy the pictures. The picture of white and yellow stuff in a cup is milk I bought from a store, then I put it in a microwave and all this butter came to the top. Not sure that's normal.
Love,
Elder Wharton
