Wacky Weather as Summer starts to approach

November 25, 2013 ~ Apparently Elder Merrill is having a mixed up month of weather.  However, it's not crazy insane life-altering weather, so we are glad for that.  We are so thankful for the safety of all the missionaries in the Philippines and the stories of miracles and blessings that have come out of that hurricane.


Hey everyone!  There’s some rain here too.  Yep.  Even though it´s summer, we´re having a rainy day today.   But not a lot. And to top it off, even though it´s summer, it´s cold outside. If you can imagine having to wear a jacket when it´s May, that´s how it is for us right now. I haven´t needed a jacket for like 3 weeks, and suddenly, we had a cold day today. But it´s all good.  It´s not too cold outside. I think that it´s interesting how the weather changes over here.
         LOL, while explaining why there might be any spelling errors, you misspelled brief. (Cat – blocking the screen AGAIN!) That´s okay though, I worry that I may have misspelled one or two words because I´ve forgotten a little bit of English. That´s what´s happened to me a little. I keep on speaking in Spanish with one or two words when I try to speak in English. That´s interesting about the storm that you guys got on the west, and then Dad feels the after effects in the east.
     Good to know things are still basically the same back at the house. I hope things are fine and calm. I hope that your classes are going good too. I almost forgot that you were teaching again this year! How´s your class going? Do you enjoy it? I bet the kids have a fine time with you as a teacher. I hope that things are going well for your class.
         It´s getting close to the time when I get back, so there are others like Andrew who´ll be coming home soon as well I guess huh? Well, I can´t wait to get back and swap stories with all the other missionaries. I´m excited for Christmas too! I can´t wait to call you guys again and talk to you all!
        Well, my week has been interesting, I haven´t had anything weird or strange happen, just interesting because of the weather. When I say it´s crazy, that means crazy. First hot, then cold, then rain, then windy.  We get all kinds of weather and all within the duration of the week. Our area isn´t REALLY big, but enough to work in and keep busy. We walk around a lot and that seems to be just fine. We get to talk to a lot more people that way.
        Yeah, I take enough pictures, but you´re right, it´d be easier with a camera of my own. Don´t worry, my companion lets me take a lot with his camera.  I have a lot of good pictures of Argentina I think.
        I know that grandma probably misses talking to me, thinking on it I was always the one to answer the phone....I think.  You are quite right. They don´t celebrate thanksgiving over here. Kind of a bummer, but they have a lot of other little holidays, and Argentina is one of the countries that has the most holidays in the world. I hope that jess made a good turkey.  She´s good at cooking, (I think.) (um…well let’s just say Brad likes to cook more…lol)
          You have an awesome week as well! Just know that I´m thinking about you and that we´ll be talking on Skype soon! I´ll see what I can do about using Skype, I know that you guys will be waiting anxiously, I know that I sure will! Have an awesome week, I sure love you, I can´t wait to see you all again! See ya later! Love you lots! Bye!
