So we are winding down the month of November and waiting to here how Elder Merrill's week has gone. Here is part of his letter from Nov. 26th:
I'm good here! I'm trying a new way to write you guys letters at this website. It's a new thing, so I can read the letter you sent and write you one at the same time. I hope things have been going good for you. I know it's probably a little weird with me away from home and Jess & Brad being married, but just know that I am with you guys in spirit!
I have no idea what I'm gonna do for Christmas...we may just stay inside, eat and tell stories. Or go to the park, I don't know. What I wouldn't do for some cool weather. I think I am more used to the heat now but it's so wei rd to have Christmas in the summer.
We had asked in our last letter what they did on Thanksgiving:
We didn't do much for thanksgiving, it was a normal day really. I'm fine with that, it's not like everyone else was celebrating the holiday because it doesn't exist here. We (the missionaries) didn't have the day off. The Argentines have today off though but that means that most of the places we would go to write mail were closed. We just barely found a place to write you today!
We asked about the people they were working with too and how that was going:
Our investigators are doing good! We have a commitment with one to stop smoking by the beginning of Christmas. That will be a nice Christmas gift, if we can have a baptism! With all the others, it's just teaching them still step by step.
I can't believe that Heather ( a girl from school/seminary we know) got her mission call to Argentina! (The Salta mission). And everyone else getting ready to go out on there missions too! Thanks for always telling me about how life is back home. You always have good words to keep me going and I love you all! Bye
Elder Merrill, I assure you, you uplift and inspire us and we love you dearly! We are glad to here that he is doing well physically and spiritually.
