Letter From Rhys - Week #29 - Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice!


Good morning from Sunny Californ... oh ... wait ... wrong one sorry!

Feliz Lunes from the tropical land of the Republica Dominicana!

This past week has been pretty peaceful on the part of teaching. We are doing a lot of contacting because our citas (appointments) fall or we can’t seem to find an Hermano (sister) to accompany us.

However, a peak moment in this week’s adventures happened to come in a box, then the box was put into another box, and then mailed to myself! Well if any are wondering, no I did not smash it with a hammer. I will address this reference later. Anyway, in this box were some nice goodies! A nice Family size bag of Genocide that I shouldn’t love but tastes soo good {Reese´s Pieces}, along with a nice little Kinder egg, a bag of trail mix, and another bag of mini candy bars!

Included with the development of much sugary tastey things, there was a smaller box with in the box! And in this box, were the 24 wonderful spices of life! Some may include but not limited to, oregano, parsley, sage, rosemary, garlic salt, powder and minced, and many more! In this wonderful little box contained our happiness for the last couple of days!

Oh and I also got Creole seasoning and Parmesan cheese! And Elder Chu received a magnificent throne on which he can rest and demonstrate his awesome power of cuteness that no one can resist!

Elder Chu was also privileged to leave the apartment for a couple appointments on Saturday. Here’s a little sneak peek.





These families were happy to receive his awesome cuteness power!

I should probably also mention that the spices we had received have been used every single day in our cooking adventures. If you'd like to see some of the things we’ve made, talk with my mother and she can get those photos from my drive for you! Sorry I don’t have time or space to make captions and none of what we make really has a name. Usually it’s just a type of meat with rice or pasta seasoned to taste.

[Mom’s Note:  Here’s one of the pictures of something he made.  I think he’s happy to have the Parmesan Cheese I sent.]

In accordance to the subject title I should also mention that we have been talking much about a chemical X which in reality is two things... The chemical for the PowerPuff girl recipe and the poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco’s poison.

This has been the favorite quote of the week of my companion, Elder Aguilar, who happens to love The Emperor’s New Groove just like I do! We also found an awesome ice cream shop where we can buy really good ice cream in bulk for super cheap! This week we bought 2 gallons of Orange Dreamsicle ice cream!

Well, that’s all for this week folks! I hope you have enjoyed this week’s bit of cartoon humor with my weekly report! Have a great week and I’ll see you next week!

Going forth with the vision of Christ and an eye of faith,

Elder Rhys Wheeler

P.S. About the phone, we think we lost it on the bus, and we were able to get a new one with the same number. Also, next week is the last week of the transfer and so be prepared to hear where I’ll be going next time!

P.P.S. Mom! Thanks for the box and the amazing speaker! Also, typos! Thanks!

P.P.P.S. My companion made something for you all to see and the reveal will be made soon!

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

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

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.
