Pictures from Rhys - Weeks #1 - 3

Rhys was finally able to find a way to upload his pictures, so I thought I'd share several.  Some of them are a little blurry.  I think he was expecting the camera to be a touch more responsive.  There are quite a few here, so enjoy!  All time stamp dates are in the DD/MM/YYYY format and times are in 24HR clock.

Rhys and his friends a couple of hours before he left for the airport.  This group has spent many hours at my house playing Super Smash Bros.

Rhys and his travelling buddies in the Santo Domingo Airport, Dominican Republic

Elder Chu catching a ride through the airport.

This is the bus they all rode to the CCM from the Airport.  Check out those curtains!

The desk mentioned in his first letter!  Looks like Elder Chu has his own cubby.  Lets just hope they're not sloppy around the sink. LOL

Their study room the day after they arrived.  Check out those stacks of books!



Elder Wheeler and his companion Elder Welch (Juice man)

I think it's finally sinking in that they're in for a LOT of studying.  Don't they look super enthused?

They look much more relaxed after they've been there a week.

It's P-day and the Elders are getting ready to go out for the afternoon.

Elders Anderson, Welch, Wheeler, and Averett (and Chu)

Look at me!  I climbed a tree!

Elder Chu visits the grounds of the Santo Domingo Temple

On the morning when Hurricane Irma was hitting the island full force, it doesn't look like they're too worried.

Letter from Kelson - Week # 72 - Time is Money, and I'm Broke!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!! I must apologize in advance for the length of this letter, it seems that their ain't no rest for the wicked...and that means no rest for those trying to help the wicked either. Anyway, I am pretty wicked myself, so no self indulged pride there, just making a statement on how little time I have to write this P-Day. We have been going Mach 5 with our hair on fire since 630 this morning, last week...I think that works. It has been crazy, the weeks are blending together, my companion and I are always trying to help out the missionaries in our Zone, and we are striving to be the best Leaders possible, while helping them to aspire to be better missionaries themselves. We also are trying to see success in our own area. There is quite a lot on my plate, and I am wondering what thanksgiving is going to look like...With this much food and I am only in September. I have some super news! Arturo, the super awesome guy from Stockton that got baptiz...

Letter from Kelson #9 - I am still alive and Kicking!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!! CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!!!....(PLEASE PROCEED TO SHOUT OUT LOUD "AMEN", THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING). This past week was super awesome, but also challenging beyond belief. This past week was the last week of the transfer and things were going crazy. We started of the week with a full white board of people to tech and bring the Gospel to, and by Friday we had maybe 2 people left. Everyone just started dropping like flies!!! We were unable to make contact with any of them, we had people tell us that they will not be continuing to learn from us, and we also had people ignore us when we stopped by... A bit of discouragement was really hitting us hard this week. We were struggling all week to try and fill our days with things to do and people to teach. I think we went Tracting (Door knocking) for an hour or two just to see what we could find. But alas we were unsuccessful in making these things come to pass. Sorry if I just made everyone who r...
