Letter From Kelson - Week #60 - I LOVE WATERMELON!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!!
It is a wonderfully hot day today, and I must say that it would go extraordinarily well if I had a big chunk of watermelon to devour...Hum, sounds like a genius Idea, I'll be back...
20 min later...
...Ok I am back, It was delicious, I will send my mom a video and some pictures after this e-mail, hopefully, I will work my magic fingers into a figure 8 knots so that I can send these pictures and video, it was just so good!!! I am sending them now, I hope she gets them to you, because you will be able to enjoy it just as much as I did.
This past week was super productive, we had a team-up with the Assistants to the President (pretty good missionaries) and they took Elder Badger out and showed him a thing or two about missionary work. I think they may have shown him about 4 or 5 because I might have taught him some false doctrine...I don't remember every word that comes out of my mouth, just the looks of other people. As we went on the team up, we added this family, they are a part member and they have just been less active since the Assistant baptized them almost 2 years ago...coincidence ,I think not! It seems we are playing into a hand that has been a royal flush ever since the beginning and we are those throw away pawns that get the glory of taking the queen and then are sacrificed before the king, as we are then destroyed so that the player can gain checkmate in the next move ( I'm a little bitter still because Elder Badger really did a number on me playing chess this week, and scrabble too...The son is taking over the Father's dominion...)  This family wants to complete their family in the gospel, and come back to church. I don't know if it was my charm or the need for the gospel, but we will take both and make a good member sandwich out of it. They didn't come to church this week, so it isn't my charm, however, they are allowing us to come over tomorrow and then do service for them in the morning on Wednesday...YES SERVICE!!! I love service.  I can get out of my suit....
So far the work is progressing slow, and I think it will be picking up here really soon. Our mission has a goal of baptizing 70 people in the month of June and It looks like we are going to do that!!! WAHOO!!! Keep us in your prayers please.
Until we meet again next time I LOVE YA,
Elder Wheeler

P.s. MOM I NEED YOUR HELP IN THE TYPING DEPARTMENT. IT SEEMS THE CAPS LOCKS IS STUCK AND I AM PAYING TOO MUCH FOR CAR INSURANCE!!! 

Note from Mom:  The videos and pictures he just sent are on his blog at elderwheeler.blogspot.com.  Enjoy!

Letter From Kelson - Week # 97 - A-....Oooo Shiny,D-......Squirrel!!, D

Good Morning From Sunny California!!!   Have I told you that I may suffer from a minor case of the life destroying, grade killing, maybe even friendship ending addiction that brings many heart aches and pains to the life of those affected by it called...   ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER!!!!!!!!  or ....   This past week was pretty good, we were able to see the baptism of a one Melissa G., who is pretty freakin' sweet if you ask everyone in the world. I don't know if she would approve of me saying this, but I want to congratulate her on her baptism and handling that baptismal font water LIKE A BOSS!!! She has a little fear of being pushed/submerged under water by other people and with baptism that is a very necessary requirement, being completely submerged in the water by someone holding the authority from God to do so. She sucked it up, she said "I am doing this thing! LEEEERRRROOOOOYYYYYY JEEENNNNKKKIIINSSS!!!" (all in her mind of course) and she went down i

Letter from Kelson - Week #18 - Thank goodness for the Mission!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!!!   I will start off with the most important thing up to this point. It has been brought to my attention that my Mission President wants us to Vote in this election so I need the world to petition my mother to send me an Absentee Ballot so that I may vote for whomever is not OBAMA!!! HAHA   Now to our success... We have had an amazing week!!! We went from a week of almost lesson draught to a week of overflowing milk and honey. We taught 17 lessons this week and we have a pre-me firm, which means that this investigator is ready for baptism, but we need to have them come to church and teach 2 more lessons, but it also means that they have accepted the call to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized.  We are super excited and on top of that they are also going on a Temple Tour with us Saturday...SAWEET!!! The area here is booming, and I know that it is because I have so many people back home praying for the success of this missionary, but someth

Letter From Rhys - Week #15 - The Adventures of Elder Chu: Part 1

Feliz Lunes from the tropical land of the Republica Dominicana. This Week is all about the adventures of Elder Chu, but before we get to that a quick update.  2 of our 4 people to get baptized this past week were.  The others were pushed back to the first weeks of December.  Also, we have had many miracles in our area which include finding gold! (Investigator) The name of this Gold is Jennifer. Jennifer has been attending the church for quite some time now, and has a testimony that it is God's church on the earth but she has not been baptized.  This is because she's moved a lot and never talked with the missionaries before.  We found her while looking for someone else.  We stopped by her home to see if she knew someone who had been contacted during the Cosecha in the previous week and she then proceeded to search for this person for us for 15 min.  It was an amazing find. Now to the part with Elder Chu!  The Wonderful big yellow stuffed Pokémon Pikachu who is named Eld
