Letter from Rhys - Week # 10 - Teach Repentance and Baptize Converts!!!!!!

Feliz Lunes from the tropical land of Republica Dominicana!

Sadly I can’t really remember all that has happened this week though I have it written in my journal, which happens to not be with me right now :-)  So, I’ll just talk about the things that are most memorable!

This past Saturday, WE HAD A BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!  It was a cool young man named Brian.  He's 11 and has been attending church on his own for quite some time now.  Anyway, it was such a cool experience to go to the service and perform the baptism.  We actually showed up late, sadly, because my companion Elder Smith, also being our district leader, had to go to Ozama at 3:00 to do a baptismal interview for the Hermanas [Sister Missionaries] in that area.  They’re super cool, by the way, and there’s a picture coming in with some photos that I’m uploading as I’m typing!!!!! YAY! Finally, Photos!!!!!!!!!

We also had to do a couple more interviews these past couple days too, so basically Friday and Saturday we didn’t get much time to proselyte... Anyway, I said I don’t remember much of this past week because it all kind of blurs together.

I also have been suffering from a continuous sinus headache for the past week and a half... YAAAAAAAY! (not really)  It sucks!  I never knew how much snot and phlegm that my body could actually produce!  It’s soooooo annoying!

Well, on the bright side I had my regular interview with the Mission President last week and he's sooooo AWESOME!!!!!!  Presidente Smith is so cool and his wife is also pretty chill!  They actually brought me and another sister a cake that we could eat to celebrate our birthdays.  She happened to share the same birthday as my mother.  I don’t remember her name... sorry...

Oh and if you didn’t get the hint, last Monday was in reality my birthday. LOL!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂  But my birthday or not, every day I spend here is totally worth every single moment.  When everybody says the mission is the best 2 years (or 18 months for those sisters😉) of their lives, they’re not lying!!!!  And I’ve only been out for 2 months!!!!!!!!!

This letter’s short this week, and for that I apologize, but I will do my best next time to make sure I remember all the little details for my biggest fans!!!!  OH, by the way, The Lord tells us not to worship idols so don’t worship me... Worship Him☝☝☝*cough*  Our Heavenly Father *cough, cough*  I Love you all until I’m a big bag of genocide! (Reese's Pieces) Get it?  LOL!!!!!  

I hope your weeks are awesome and all is well back in the US of A!

Going forward with the vision of Christ!

Elder Rhys Wheeler!

P.S. Mommy! I love you so. Also as Jesus said, "If ye love me, [ fix my typos]" Love you!!!!!!

P.P.S. To avoid apostasy, Jesus really didn’t say that but we should keep his commandments! YAY!

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...
