29, 2013 ~ I can’t even describe how utterly happy I am when I see his email
pop up! WOOHOO! Let’s see how Elder Merrill is doing this week:
I´m doing good. (always a good thing to hear!) Well,
things are always busy at the end of the transfer. I have to clean the house a little, set things
in order in case I go, and try to work a little harder with my investigators in
case they have a new missionary to work with. It really hasn´t been cold here
at all. It´s the afternoon right now and I don´t need a jacket yet. When the
sun goes down, that´s when I need to put something more on. I haven´t had too
many problems with the cold though, like I said. Wow, 3 monsoons?? We get rain
in Argentina but that´s it. No thunder, no flooding, just wet cold rain. I
don´t like days like that here in Quequen because the streets get super muddy. Well,
it being the start of August means that it´s getting to be a little more colder
for Tucson and here, it means that it´s getting a little more warmer. (Sadly, no, it will be in the low 100’s this
week in Tucson and probably for a good part of August.)
I´m glad that you enjoyed church. I can understand what people say during
sacrament meeting and all, so I get something out of my meetings here. I´ll
always try to be a representative of Jesus Christ where ever I go because I
represent the people who have such strong testimonies.
I
was actually wondering once during this week if Sparky and Hobbes got along in
the house. No, huh? I remember it took the longest time before she and Blacky
could be in the same room or no.
All those people ask about me huh? Well tell them that I´m doing fine and that
I´m thinking about them too. I don´t dwell on it a lot, but I do wonder how
everyone is doing back home. Brad has a birthday this week then? Tell him that
I said Happy Birthday! And then Kyle starts his classes for Pima soon? That´ll
be interesting. I often wonder if things would be different if I had taken any
classes, but I didn´t really have time or the desire because I was more focused
on going on a mission. Well, we´ll see how it all goes when I get back. I´m
still not sure if I want to work or go to school when I get back, maybe both,
but that seems a little crazy.
I study the things in Preach My Gospel right now, I´m going through it
page by page doing different things, I like where I´m at right now, in the attributes
of Christ and why we should develop them on the mission. But I read the
scriptures too. I still have my companion, Elder Bernel. There are also 2 new
elders in the house here, Elder Templeton, who I lived with before in Carlos Casares,
and Elder Solares, who was in the same zone as me.
I was going to say, I don´t really have anything new to report, everything
is basically the same. I hope that things are the same back home. I´m still
here, doing good, doing what I can. Let
me know if you have any questions about how life is for me, but just know that
everything is going good for me.
Well, that´s about it for me, I´ll still be here and I hope that your day
is going good, I love you lots and know that I´m always thinking about you and
the family! See ya later! Bye!
-Elder Ethan Merrill
