Earlier emailing time from our favorite Argentinian-exploring missionary

August 12, 2013
It's another happy day as we get our weekly letter from Elder Ethan Merrill. He is working hard and doing well.  He is our hero!



How ya doing?  Don´t worry about the whole robbery thing....I have everything I need really, so it´s all good. Thanks for saying what a trooper I am...I don´t feel so special at times when people do this kinda stuff to us as missionaries, but we do what we can and we try to keep our heads up. it´s what Jesus would do...right?
          Don´t worry about the suitcase and all, I found one that´s pretty cheap and I found a place where they sold the memory cards for cheap too. I had the same idea, just use a memory card with his camera. I´ll buy those 2 things today.
       
   ---- Hey this isn´t too important, but it´s something you should know. The mission president changed the time we get to write and now we HAVE to write at a specific time. We have to write him at 11:00 and we only get an hour to write now. Kinda stinks, but well....whatever. You´ll get this letter at about 7:00 - 8:00 in the morning if it´s 11:00 here I think. Well, that´s probably how it´ll be from know until the end of the mission. just thought ya better know. ----

       Don´t worry about the whole week thing. I try not to take out money from my personal account if I can help it. But I´ll keep in mind the whole $350 deal, but I don´t think I´ll ever have to take out that much money.  
         CHARLIE´S GOING TO JAPAN??? That´s so cool! I´m super jealous! I bet Jessica is a bit too if she knows. LOL.  
       It´s actually pretty windy and cloudy today. A bit of rain, but this is the last of it we´ll see. When September rolls around, we´ll be seeing a lot more heat. Well, it´s the last season of the mission for me...so it´s kinda cool, kinda sad and exciting and scary all at the same time. can you believe that this week marks 17 months in the mission? I´m practically old now! And my 21st birthday is in 2 months? That´s crazy!
         I don´t have much things for my wish list birthday box, I made a list, but due to the time change, I forgot it in the house. When I E-mail you next week, I´ll have the items and you can mail it to me. I PROMISE! 
         Good to know that life is pretty much the same for the family. With college and stuff, things should be interesting, but it´ll be like school I suppose. Homework and tests and all. I hope that things go well for you guys! I´m thinking of you guys too and it´s hard to fight the trunky thoughts at times! 6 more months and I come home! I´m super exited and I hope that you´re all exited too! I have a bunch to tell you and I´m so thrilled to be here on the mission! see ya all later! love you lots!
