Wow, it seems like April was just starting and now it's at the end and we are heading into May. Elder Merrill writes another great letter about how he is doing and reminiscing about his graduation night as we talk about his brother Kyle's upcoming graduation. Love you lots Elder Merrill :)

Whoo! How are you guys doing? I haven´t had much to do this
week, just the normal routine. Feels like a long Sunday huh? Some days it feels
like I´m working forever, and others, it feels like I´ve been working for only
1 hour. The mission overall goes super fast though. Speaking of super fast, the
14th of May is when I hit 14 months and marks when I left the MTC a year ago. I
remember being so excited and happy to get to go to work in the field. But
that´s all that´ll be important. This is the last week of the transfer and I
don´t know if I´ll stay or go, but I´ll be fine with either.
That´s a neat story about the family who found out about the gospel while on
vacation. Who knew that they would get back from their trip changed for always?
I´m sorry about Elder Wynn. That´s gotta be rough. I remember one of the elders
in South Carolina who had a grandpa who was dying. He got to talk with him on
the phone for a little while. Well, I always pray that you guys are safe in my
prayers. I miss you all too, but I know that we´ll see each other soon!
Hot huh? Well, it´s getting a little bit colder here, but not a lot. We´ve been
having a strange pattern with the weather here. It gets cloudy in the morning,
clears up by about 3, and then gets cloudy again at around 7. Never rains
though. It sucks walking in the muddy streets, so I´m glad if it’s just cloudy
and no rain.
I remember that picture collage! I almost missed it, then I saw a group of
students looking at a bunch of pictures on the wall and then I realized, ¨Hey!
I´m there on the wall!¨ I bet Kyle will like the LDS prom, I didn´t go, but I´m
fine with that. The school prom was a bit more fun I think because I knew
everybody. No worries, I´m taking a bunch of photos, and I try to make it
distinct. I try to think to take a picture of something that is only found here
in Argentina.
The ward meeting here is interesting. We have the same schedule, sacrament and
then the classes, we even have the same size building perhaps. (But this is one
of the few that’s really big.) The only difference is the amount of people we
have. If you can imagine sacrament meeting with only 20 people. That´s how ours
is here. Yeah we sing in Spanish. I don´t have any of the songs memorized like
I do in English, but I can understand the words now. Yeah, the missionaries
always have to help out with something, from the sacrament to teaching classes.
That´s about all
for now really. I hope that you guys are all doing well and that things are
nice and relaxing this week! I still need permission to call home the 19th
instead of the 12th, but I think I´ll get it. I´ll call President Parreño by
phone if I need to. I´ll let you know what happens with that. I love you all a
lot and miss you all! See ya around!
