Letter from Kelson - Week # 41 - What day is it again?!?!?!

Good Morning from Sunny California!!!!

As you can tell from the headline there has been a new thing presented before the "Board of Important People Who make Important Decisions."  They have decided that they are no longer distinguishing each day, They have decided that the whole week will become one day and that we will just keep moving until we die. It is truly sad, this decision that they have made, but I guess since they are important people who evidently make important decisions then it must be okay, but along with that I am giving away my agency to say "I want to have 7 days in my week," and I am following the social norm and becoming a little drone and robot. 

The reason for my subject being the way it is, is because I feel like one of those drones. I lost track of what day it was as they are just blending together. Yesterday definitely did not feel like a Sunday; everyone was talking about the Super Bowl, thus not normal for my Sundays...hehe

For all you Ravens fans out there...WAHOO!!!! And for you 49ers fans....It is okay there is a way to heal the pain, It is called the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his Atonement. Through proper understanding of this principle you can feel the Love that God has for you and the pain of loss and regret and the salt that the Ravens fans are rubbing into your wounds can be removed from you through Christ's Atonement.  To learn more please feel free to visit our Website at www.mormon.org or talk to your local missionaries. You will see them either riding their bikes, running from a bulldog, or talking to random people on the street, who usually smell funny. And if you still can't find them call my parents they will help you. 

As for the work here in California, we are working hard at helping people who are truly seeking the truth to find it. We have a few prospects for conversion. There is Cecilia, a 40 something Hispanic lady who is feeling a bit overwhelmed in the spiritual department because of her children, and she has a deep love for God so she has been searching for the right church. But little does she know that that right church has found her...hehe  We also are teaching Shanna, a 30 something lady and her almost 11 year old daughter Reina... They love the Gospel and we are planning on inviting them to be baptized this week!!! There are exciting things taking place here in California and I feel it a privilege to serve such a great cause. I have been blessed with the great ability to talk, and I know many of you already know that...I talk a lot, but this ability is helping me to serve even better. My companion doesn't like to talk so I do most of the talking and he chimes in every once in a while. We are pretty evenly matched I guess... :P

I would like to make a public shout out to all those who are reading this...I know it is a couple of days late but please bear with me. 

HAPPY SAUSAGE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!!!!!!!!!! 3 Days after Sausage day!!!!!!

For some last minutes words of wisdom I leave you with this. 

If you love God, you will love whoever you have to deal with, because If we love God we will keep his commandments, thus Love thy neighbor as Thyself, but not just as thyself, but Love thy neighbor as Christ Loves you!!! Go with the Spirit and keep up the good fight.

Love ya,
Elder Wheeler

Mom's Note:  For those of you wondering about Sausage Day, it is February 2nd.  If you're still confused, just ponder on what everyone else calls February 2nd and the connection should become clear.  If you are still confused, email me and I'll explain it to you.

Letter From Rhys - Week #2 - Nothing's Better Than Workouts and Shopping

Que lo que from the tropical island of the Rupublica Dominicana! Week 2 is now down, though according to the CCM we’re at the end of week 3.  Makes perfect sense right?   Some interesting events have come to pass this past week.  Starting on Sunday, my district got together after sacrament  meeting to discuss our weekly goals. These are the goals we set:  1.         Memorize Moroni 10:4-5 in Spanish by Tuesday.  {Accomplished a day late} 2.         Work on the Christ-like attribute of diligence.  {It's difficult but it’s coming along. My habit of laziness has taken its toll on me on a couple occasions.} This next one is kind of ridiculous, but requires some explaining before we continue…  At the beginning of week one the CCM President gave us a short lesson on our titles as missionaries and representatives of Christ.  One of the many things he went over was the title of Elder in which we are assigned. He stated that "Elder" is a title given to us by t

Feliz lunes from the tropical land of the Republica Dominicana! This past week was awesome!!! Filled with fun and adventure and the best part... Getting Wet!!!!!! From the baptismal font that is. The weather has actually been very dry... but humid...Anywho, on Tuesday we ran to the church in the next ward over to play basketball with some people from the Brisas Ward.   We ran a solid mile and I was still hot and pumping lots of energy to play some basketball! I also had a nice exchange with some of the members in my district. I went to Boca Chica with Elder Roberts, and his companion Elder Chadwick came here. Rhys and Elder Roberts Elder Roberts is super cool and works super hard. The Following day we had our district meeting and interviews with President Smith!  It was also Hermana Smith’s birthday, so the zone put together something special to wish her happy birthday! It was a wonderful surprise and to top it all off, her son and his family came to visit us as well.

Letter From Kelson - Week # 55 - Happy MOMMA's DAY!!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!!! Did everyone have a good Mother's day? I know I did, but that is besides the point. To all of my many Mother's out there, I would like to wish you a belated Happy Mother's Day! Sorry, but I am only allotted one phone call and I can't remember every one of your phone numbers. This past week has been packed full of adventure. It is all about this Dashing Swordsman and his quest for more Happiness. This Swordsman Rides on his noble stead, the Iron Bi-son and he carries around his partner in crime, The Jolly Jester. The Dashing Swordsman loves to go into the world and share what brings him the greatest amount of Happiness, but there are some Goblins who do not accept the message of his glorious ability to take them from being a Goblin to being a Dashing Swordsman like himself...or a Jolly Jester (Sometimes the transformation is halted midway and they become the Jolly Jesters, not quite as handsome and good looking, but they are
