Letter from Rhys - Week # 13 - El Libro de Mormon. otro Testimento de Jesucristo!

Feliz Lunes, from the tropical land of the Republica Dominican where the sun is always shining and the Air smells like... well... not like warm root beer...😐😁.

Anyway, this past week absolutely nothing happened!  Except for the undeniable fact that every single morning our mission we make us a big ol’ bowl of missionary meetings for breakfast!  We had transfers on Tuesday, meeting for district leaders on Wednesday(my companion is a district leader), District meeting on Thursday, Cosecha (harvest) on Friday, and a broadcast from Elder Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve, who was in Santiago on Saturday and church on Sunday!!!!!

In short, we had very little time to proselyte this week!  YAAAAAAAAAY... NOT.  But on the bright side a couple of things happened.  With the little time that we had between weekly planning Thursday afternoon and ward council Thursday night, we were able to teach an awesome young man named Louis!
He’s pretty cool and has a sound understanding of what we teach him.  He’s also a young man so when he’s baptized, we will have an Aaronic Priesthood holder in our ward!!!!  By the way... there are absolutely none in our area...  Also on another bright side, after 3weeks of waiting patiently, we finally obtained Book ofMormons!!!!!YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!  It’s about dang time!

We took home 50 from the mission office this past Saturday and in the last two days we’ve given more than half away to people!  One of my friends from the CCM, Elder Lee (shout out to Elder Hill (not a typo)) called me the epitome of The Best Two Years!  I’m like a little child on Christmas when we get more Book of Mormons!

Mostly because this book is like the Coolest book ever and it happens to tell you within its stories how you can save your soul!  Talk about killing two birds with one stone, just to resurrect them later... LOL!

We also happen to have another problem in our area, however...  We have all these people to teach... but not time to teach them all!!!!!  I Wonder how Christ did it so well!  That guy taught thousands all at once you know!?  But in all this struggle and strife I know that the Lord is supporting my work and consecrating our efforts to teach the gospel.

Also, I know that in order for our success to last, we must focus on the needs of only a couple at a time.  I just hope I make the right prioritizations...😏.  

Anyway, today I had a fun time with my companion and I learned something new about him.  He doesn’t like wasting time!  Anyway, today we went to MegaCentro again and we met up with my friend Elder Horsley and his companion.  But we had to wait for them for a little while and so we looked around the mall.  He didn’t like that very much because we had no money to actually buy anything and so he thought it was a waste of our time.

On the other hand, I cheered him up with some subway!  I should probably also mention Elder Chu came with us and we took a couple pictures.  Speaking of which, there are some that may seem like what the heck kind of pictures but those?  They are just loads of shenanigans that I sadly don’t have time to explain.  Also, Elder Chu went to The España with us this afternoon.  It was really cool too because we had high tides!  Took lots of pictures, so I’ll try to get them to you all!

Well Folks... I’m out of time and must take my leave!

I love you all and i know that the Lord is blessing every single person I know because of my service!

Going forth with the Vision of Christ and an Eye of Faith (and truth, awe Zelda puns),

Elder Rhys Wheler!

P.S. Mom. Typos. Like always please. Thanks!!!!

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 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 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
