Not-So-Weekly Report of The conqueror of Cerro San Cristòbal
It was a good week. We were able to watch the final for the Copa America, and Chile won. So of course the world wen't crazy. I would have been scared for my life but I am much taller then all of them. and they protect us so we're good. But still it was crazy. and there are so many Memes on the internet, its not even funny. Everyone shows us them. In other news, it rained, and like a good little Arizona kid I was right in the middle of it. Jumping in puddles and just loving the sound of rain on my umbrella. But as the rain came it made everything very slippery, so on a night while walking down stairs I slipped. Nothing bad happened, my elbow was a bit sore but nothing bad. But still I fell down the stairs. Oh and also HAPPY AMERICA DAY!!!!! Just sayin we're awsome. But yeah that's the week, love you all.

Not-so-weekly Report of The Lost Elder
Well this week we are having a little more success, and everyone that we pass by is progressing. So you can say it was a pretty good week. Anyways, we had an awesome leccion with the family Moreno Catalan, they are a family that we are teaching. We went in not really knowing what to teach, we had a plan but it was kinda shaky and we weren't real sure about it. So we walk in, sit down, and then start to talk, just nice light conversation. Then suddenly Maria Jose walks in, she is a family member, but I'm not sure how she's connected. Anyways she comes in and sits down and kinda joins the leccion. She is a recent member and is really cool. She actually just got baptized this last Saturday(she not our ella es de los otro Elderes) So we share a scripture and Maria Jose starts giving pollo to la Nadia, just hitting her right to the core, to the places that as guys and as missionarys we can't go. It was cool, and now Nadia is going to get baptized no matter what. She still needs to work on some things but is going to do it, to change her life. It was powerful. But other then that our week was pretty normal. That is as normal as it can get with me around. One morning we went to do contacts in the metro and when we were heading home we got separated, it was weird. I haven't been without someone by my side for 10 months, and here I was stuck in a crowded train without anyone. So I waited till the next stop and got off. When the next train came I thought my comp would be on it, Nope, so I took the next train back, he wasn't there either. SO I took the train to where we were supposed to meet up. Got off and waited, and waited and waited, and he never came. But 2 elders did get off so i was enveloped in a trio. They took me home, where we found my comp. It was an adventure. But that's it. Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week.

Not-so-weekly Report of The problem Child.
So, I have to fill you in on all that happened last week because it is...interesting. So last week wasn't a very good week. We couldn't get very many leccios in, but, unlike before we were able o keep our heads up and still keep going. Also last week alot of funny things happened, and also some weird things. Anyways, so on Saturday we had an activity with the youth in the stake, where everyone got together and we went with a group of Youth to go out and teach the gospel. Anyways, this is the sad part. Two Girls contacted a lady and then the lady walked across the road and got hit by a car. She just broke a couple ribs, so she'll be fine, but still, brigido.(dangerous) But hey, we have her address and name and she can't really go anywhere so the perfect investigator. Just sayin'. Then Tuesday was one of the roughest days of my mission, I was falling down, bumping into things and just having a rough time. This week was much better, that is except I keep hitting my head on things. And it seems that every where we go people are asking for english leccions. So I guess this week we are going to busy not only teaching english but learning to teach english. We also did some really hopeful contacts that are going to turn out quiet nicely. All in all a nice week. I can't believe that its week 3 already, it feels like I haven't been here for very long, but also like I've been here my whole mission. Its a weird sensation. Hopefully this week will be as good as this last one. I have been learning alot from E' Torres, we work really well together, even though sometimes I can be kinda pesado (irritating). But yeah lifes good. We finally get to see a soccer game!!! we have permission to watch it today. (we get to watch the Copa America, which is a really big deal down here. Its like to world cup but smaller and racist bucause they didn't invite america. we get to watch a Chile game today in a members house.) I am super excited. Love you all and hope your week is fantastic.
Love E' Whetten

time for one more!!!
Hello for the last time from Argentina!!! its still a little crazy to say that but we cant hide from the truth. this last week was actually really good! we were able to do exchanges with some elders one of which was my old companion,elder holmes. we were able to do some service and eat a really good hasado!! my companion and i had our first fathers day together haha since i am his "father" in the mission and yesterday was fathers day here in Argentina so it was pretty cool. we have another new baptismal date that i wont be able to see through but that's not whats important. its still a little weird to know that i will be leaving here soon, but like i put in the title thing at the top, there is still a little more time to do a little bit more. i will probably post the pictures next week when im home because i don't have much time left:P but just know that i love all of you and im coming home with the best gift i could've found, my conversion to this gospel. have a great week!!!
ELDER WHETTEN!!!
