Quick Note from our Clever Missionary

February 25, 2013

It's a quick little note from Elder Ethan Merrill this week but I liked the part where he is pleased about how well he lives on his budget. He is doing such a great job being a missionary, living in a foreign country and taking care of himself. What a great guy!





Hi family! You really got snow in Tucson?  When was the last time that happened? I hope that it wasn´t too cold to have a bit of fun! Funnily enough, it has been slightly good over here right now. I haven´t had much success with snow here, but it has gotten colder. I don´t know when winter starts but we are in the rainy season now. For the past 3 days, we´ve had nothing but clouds. I miss not being there to have fun with Kyle and James, but I´m doing good here. Glad to hear that things are just about normal.
     Thank you for always keeping me in high spirits and keeping me going with your letters! I really do get an energy boost when I hear from you guys. Dad couldn´t write for a little while because he didn´t have internet huh? That´s a bummer. Well, now he does, so that means you can also communicate with him by E-mail and Skype right? That´s good fun. I´m glad that we have this opportunity to communicate by E-mail, and that we can talk easily. I know that we have a long distance between us, but with E-mail, it doesn´t seem that far at all.
     I´m doing fine clothing wise, no worries. I might be optimistic with this, but I think that my clothes and shoes will last through the mission. There´s a ton of dogs everywhere in Argentina truth be told. I will probably never go to an area where there aren’t a bunch of dogs running around. Thanks for saying that I´m smart with the budgeting! I never run out of food, or rather, money to buy food, and I never have to use personal funds to buy anything that I need to survive. I´m rather proud of myself truth be told. I hope that you guys have a great week too! Stay safe, and remember that I´m thinking of you and love you! See ya next week!
