Since I wasn't able to write last week because of tranfers I get to write for two weeks now, Yay! Anyway, this week has gone very extremely fast. The work has been going great and we've had some success. One week I had Elder dos Santos and the next I have Elder Abarca. Elder Abarca is soooo cool. He's from Chile and loves to mess around and make jokes and laugh. He's definitely not used to the hills here in Concordia because one day we had an almoco (lunch) with a member who lives on top of a mountain haha. We both were dying after that. But I for sure have some stronger things becuase my pants are getting tight.
I had some great breakthroughs with the language as well. I'm speaking better and better everyday. I bought a ton of food to make also. I love to make food because sometimes I get tired of rice and beans haha. Anyway we've had some problems finding people to teach becuase neither of us know the area very well. we sometimes are stressed because we have soooo many people to teach and we don't have enough time to teach them all in a day or even a week.
Add the fact that sometimes we walk across the city 3 or 4 times to get to meetings or lessons. At the end of the day we are DEFINITELY tired haha. But a good tired. I've had so many good experiences becuase of this hard work we do. But anyway, My comp was transferred on last Monday to Corintibanos which is a smaller city than Concordia but is more cold and gets more rain. I want to serve in Corintibanos, haha it is so hot here. But we were in Cotintibanos last Pday so thats why I couldn't email. But my new comp is so cool, I love him so much already.
Today we woke up and got a haircut that was fun (we waited two flippin hours). After our haircut we ate Subway!! That was great but a tiny bit different. The cheese was that cheap cheese you buy, called American cheese haha. But I was fasting earlier so the food tased like Heaven!
This week has been great, I'm excited to hear from you all and I LOVE YOU ALL!
Love, Elder Whelan
