Hola familia! 

This week the email will be super short because I don't have a lot of time...grrr... it always happens. But yeah, this week was cool. We worked super hard and even more harder, but...we only found some mediocre people...no one super cool. No one came to church this Sunday (in terms of investigators)...wahhh... :(    But I'm still going to keep going. It seems like that world just wants to stop me from working and yeah. I'm never going to give up.  I had more problems with my comp this week. But yeah, I'll be okay. Just gotta endure to the end. I think I'll miss him though when its all over. 

 Okay...so last minute things... anyone want stuff..?? haha. you have to tell me by next Monday when I'm on the computer...cuz thats my last time writing.. UGH!  I'm freaking out, but a friend gave me some advice to just enjoy the time I have left without thinking of the future and what is going to happen. Apparently you can enjoy life better with doing this...haha. I'm going to try it out. 

Okay I love you family! CHAU!!!

Hi mom! Oh...and family!! 

We´re doing better now, I'm  just trying to battle his lazy problems now, but that's okay. we're going to get rid of that super fast! So yeah, the giant family isn't great at all. They had huge potential, but we dropped them because the mom basically told us that she has her church and that she's scared to go to ours and yeah... wont commit and makes excuses. They were so great though!!! 

Okay so I don't have a ton if time to write, so I'll just make this super short! 

This week we did an extra reinforcement in our area. A Reinforcement is when lots of missionaries come to work in your area to help you out. I asked the zone leaders to do it.  But we found lots of people in our area! It was awesome, but when we passed by for a second time,.... it wasn't so great. No one wanted to listen to us. Sad day. This area has really gotten me down recently. 

But something interesting happened to me this Sunday. It was awesome and a miracle for me. So recently I've been super worried about not having success and results here. That I'm ending my mission and have nothing to show for it. On Saturday, I was talking to this lady in our branch, she's super awesome. We happened to cross her in the street. I was like yeah, we're going to go visit this lady, hopefully to find some results. On Sunday, she randomly came up to me after sacrament meeting. And she was like, Elder Wheelwright, I've really been thinking about what you said to me yesterday about having results. You're doing your job, planting seeds. Sometimes results aren't necessary to know that you're doing a good thing. She then shared her conversion experience with me. About how there weren't any results in 6 months with her. They didn't want anything to do with what the missionaries were saying. But the simple seed that was planted, grew in the end. Really... hearing that brought me so much peace. It strengthened my testimony that God loves me and that he is aware of everything that happens in my life, he knows my worries too. The Hermana Soria told me exactly what i needed to hear, when I needed to hear it. It was my awesome experience of the week. I'm super excited to still have 3 weeks left to work, I know its hard and it wont get any easier. But I will prevail! 

I love you guys so much, thanks for always being a solid support for me in everything. <3 

p.s.... any last minute stuff you guys want.. let me know. haha don't be afraid to tell me! Chau!

Hola!

Yeah, so I'm basically freaking out. I dont have a ton of time, so I have to do this super quick! Okay...so. I'm not getting along with my comp at all.  I'm not going to throw in a whole lot of details, but you can read about it all in my journal..haha... yikes!

 I'll get a new temple reccomend at the end of my mission from Presidente Parreño, so its all good.   So I leave at night or in the morning on tuesday april 8th.. so I'll get home wednesday April 9th.. 

 

So yeah, here in Millamapu, were having a little bit of a rough patch. Besides the fact of not working in unity, no one wants to listen to us at all. We do have one investigator who promised that she will come to church next week. its a giant family too, so were going to teach her daughters and stuff if we can. She's a little wierd and protective, but yeah. And she talks a ton too.  Its almost impossible teaching. But she teaches her kids good values... like no swearing, no leaving to go to clubs at night, no smoking and drinking, etc. its awesome. She's practically already mormon. Also.. her boyfriend (who she won't let live in her house at all unless she has a ring) is mormon and inactive. Sooo yeah. That's basically is what we have going on for us right now. 

Something funny happend this week, we were walking and a big trunk passed by and he splashed us with mud and water and stuff. I just laughed my head off haha, but my comp was super mad! hahaha see the pictures. 

Okay so yeah, Ive got to run! Love you guys!!! CHAU!!

Hola!

Hola!
To answer your question, yeah I'm a medium now. Its a great time to come home, because all the snow stuff is on clearance! haha yesss! time for new snow pants and a new jacket! :D :D :D I want to look at stuff too. Do you think there will still be stuff when I'm at home?    I miss the rain, in Bahia it doesn't rain as much as Mar Del Plata....lame.    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAD ON FRIDAY!!! :D :D hahaha.
My area here in Millamapu is pretty hard, I'm not going to lie. I'm trying to keep a really great attitude, but its kind of hard. We're going to have success here no matter what! My companion is doing okay. We don't have the same goal and the same mindset. I'm working like mad and focusing on finding people, and he only wants to stop by less actives that he's made friends with. My ZLs and DL understand the situation though, so they just try to help me out. Its like a secret effort behind my companions back, but still.. its necessary.
Okay, I know I've asked this a million times..but is there anything else that you guys want me to buy from here?   I'm down to my last days of doing it, so let me know!
Ohh, so yesterday we had stake conference and I got to see all the converts from Villa Harding Green. They are all still super strong!   The mom Rosana has a calling teaching primary! :D   Its the best, its a super blessing being able to see that. That's why I'm not super bitter about being here anymore. I think of it like this... I get that blessing of seeing them, in trade for being in the area where I'm at now. haha. Just kidding, it's not that bad.
Okay, so this week our focus is find and find and find and find. We need investigators, we basically don't have any.   So this weeks email will be a little short, sorry.  Next week I hope to have lots of stories to tell about our success! It's going to happen, so be prepared for it!
 People keep asking me if I'm trunky...and the answer is nooooo. haha. I'm really not, I mean I'm super excited to go home and see you guys and all, but I'm super sad more than anything. I don't want to leave! They are going to have to drag me to the airport.. but yeah. This is part of the mission, the transition back into the real world...but hey, that's in 5 weeks... I've got plenty of time. I'm just going to go convert the world! haha   Okay I gotta run! I love you guys!! Chau!! :):) :) :)
