July
1- Part 2 or enjoying another email chat
Mom: Hi ya son! I'm here with Dad and we are
going to read your letter but I wanted to let you know we are here. (Well, I
did have to read the 1st paragraph to find out about the robbery, wow!) But
anyway, we are here! WE LOVE YOU!!! Will write more so take your time and write
others as you need to. Love ya! Mom

Merrill: Cool, I´ll let you know when I finish, I´m gonna
write Dad and James and then I´ll write you back. See ya!
Mom: Hey dear one. Wow, that is rotten that
someone took your coat (and hat, gloves, scarf, nametag, and spanish bible)!
I am sorry, that is disappointing when people do that to anyone but
especially to missionaries!!! Rats!
Listen son, we definitely don't want you to be cold
so PLEASE go get anything you need. You know I am big on you staying warm so go
get another coat, hat, gloves and an Argentine scarf! You may move to an area
that gets colder and I would rather you have the items then suffer or possibly
get sick. We will put funds in your bank account and it will be no problem at all.
Think about doing that on your next P-day, but don't think that you can't buy
those items if you want them and don't think you have to tough it out. :) We
love you, and we are here to support you in any way necessary. :)
Yep, it has been raining pretty much all day here.
Sometimes these fierce downpours and other times just drizzles. I LIKE IT! But
all the locals say it isn't supposed to raining right now. But coming from
Tucson, I LIKE IT! Lol. I have another week here with dad and then I'll
head back to AZ. We are having fun, we have been to a few beaches and done some
sight-seeing. Yeah, the battleship is one people can go on and take a
tour on. We didn't go at this time because it gets really hot in there in
the summer time, but maybe during the fall or winter if I come back out this
way then.
If you can, try and send a picture of yourself soon!
I honestly don't know how difficult that is and if it is difficult, that is
completely ok! I know that eventually we will see them, lol. We sure LOVE
you lots! :) Love Mom

Merrill: NAH.....seriously, I´m in this area
until the end of July and then it gets hot again in August. So DON´T PANIC! I´m
doing fine. It´s not even cold out. In fact, during the middle of the day, it´s
hot! Don´t worry about me! A member of the ward knitted me a hat too so I´m
fine there, and an elder had an extra scarf that he gave me because he´ll be
going home after this winter too. So seriously, don´t worry, I don´t need an
extra coat or gloves at this point, because I´d only use them for 1 month and
then that´d be it. And I wouldn´t even use them for the one month. I´m fine!
I´ll see about sending you guys a picture of me next week, It´s pretty easy, so
don´t worry. The only thing that could happen is that I´d forget. But like I said,
I´m not being tough and I´m not being stubborn. I DON´T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING TO
KEEP WARM. I´M WARM ENOUGH ALREADY. got it? (you crack us up Elder Merrill!) But in case I DO want to buy
gloves or something, you can put a little bit of money on my account. Love ya!

Mom: Lol, ok son, sounds like you are good to go! I will put some
money on your account when I get back to Tucson, to get it back up to $400 and
just know that you can use that as you need it, that includes way cool
Argentinean souvenirs from your different areas! Dad says to tell you that we
are thankful for you and keep up the good job you are doing! I second that!
Elder
Merrill: Hey sorry that I can´t wait for a
reply, but I gotta go now okay? Just know that I love ya lots and I´m always
praying for you! See ya next week! Take care okay? I saw in the weather that
the east coast is getting a lot of rain over the next couple of days. See
ya next week!
-Elder Ethan Merrill
