Ohla Ohla Ohla,
Well, let me start by saying I know I
am a lame bum for not writing a long email last week but, hey forgive me! I will be kind of doing a catch up of what
went down last week and what went down this week so keep on track! HAHA
Well things have been going really good
as of late, still getting to know the area and getting to know all the members and
what not, which is super fun and funny at the same time! Last week being the last for me and Elder Caceres
had just a great week together. We found some wonderful people to teach! First
we met a man who knows about the Church and the Elders but hasn´t been to
church in 40 years! So obviously we are teaching him right now and he has a
baptismal date for the 11th of May, SWEET huh? We continue working with Cathy and Axel our Mother and Son with the disabilities and they are progressing very nicely!
We were invited and went to their home on Friday night for a little farewell with Elder Caceres, it was a way fun super blast. We ate a bunch of sweets and took fun pictures with crazy hats and just laughed a lot!!

Things are great here but the only
little thing we´ve been having trouble with is finding new investigators who
will progress! We have no problem FINDING new people, but they are either SUPER CRAZY or
don´t have much DESIRE to progress. We have been praying for some miracles and
you do the same back home all who are reading, but we for sure will be having
be having some baptisms in the month of May!
So as I said. Elder Caceres is home now after some way good milkshakes and fries our last night together, they were his favorite things I made!! He was super content to be returning home as we know our friendship will not end here!!
.. sooooo now I have a new companion, and it is none other the wonderful Elder Wells from California! He is a great kid he has 16 months in the mission! He is also part Asian... woot woo ya´ll you know I love the Asians!!! HAHA I am his Senior Companion.
This past Saturday and Sunday were
easily two of the hardest days for me since I have been on my Mission, I got
really ill I mean on the floor dying sick!
I spent Saturday night literally sleeping in the bathroom on the floor beside
the porcelain alter because I was soooo sick all night! Sunday I just wanted to die, but I manned up
went to Church, and finished the day. Today I’m recovering but just drained...
haha, because we had some Elders come spend the night at our apartment and
although lights out on time the voices continued.
Our apartment is like a Safe House, gottcha’
mom, not really, it’s a pit stop/spend the night spot for Elders who are going
to do visa stuff or renew identity and stuff like that. One of my good buddies,
Elder Hougaard from Timp, came to spend the night and we were up till like 3
talking, it was sooo much fun and I am PAYING for it today.
We have been taking our laundry to the
matt as shortly after we got here the ones in the building broke down. I swear they didn’t look like they had been
used since the 1900’s anyways so it came as no surprise to us but hey’, clean
clothes that feel clean, I ain’t complaining, and also blessings from heaven,
elevators, as you can tell from last photo, were not exactly on “Ground Zero” (no offense to anyone intended).
I have not and cannot email Romina as
we are not allowed to contact anyone of the opposite sex that are within our
Mission Boundaries even if they are married etc, but I did get permission for to
attend her baptism when she sets a date.
I will be contacted two weeks before it occurs so I can make arrangements
to be there! I am not sure when that will be though but OH GLORY DAYS when it
happens!
I know you’re stressed about Skype on
Mother’s Day but I have no new news there yet mom, I will continue to work on
it and will have good news by next Monday PROMISE, don’t worry!
And how about those two crazy friends
of mine a “SHOUT OUT" TO CHELS and ABREA, you two are so funny but thanks for
the hello! What a great feeling to know
I have such great support back home! Also
CONGRATS and BEST WISHES to my friend “ELDER KURTIS TAUFA” heading out on his Mission
to Oakland California this Wend says, I know you will be as good “In the Field
as you were On the Field LPHS
Football!
OH and…. TODAY I COMPLETE 14
MONTHS!!!!!!!! WHAAATTTT???? So 10 more
months to kill it here in Argentina and I’m gonna hit it as hard as I can times
getting away from me! Really the past 14
months has grown my testimony immensely and I know without a doubt the Church
is true.
Well all, it’s that time again, I gotta’
run. I can never say enough I love you
all so much sending that love out to all!
Remember stay sweet, stay beautiful, and do you love your favorite Elder?
Until Next Week,
The One and Only
Elder Wade Draper
