Letter From Rhys - Week #30 - Transfers! Results!


Buenas lunes from the tropical land of the Republica Dominicana!

This week’s letter is going to be short and sweet because

1 – not much has happened this week and

2 – I don’t have much time...

Anyway, last week I sent a little photo of something my companion made for me asking who’s my next companion! Well, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, things of all shapes and sizes. The results are in and Elder Wheeler is.........


GOOOOOING!


Where you may ask?  Well, it’s a magical and not so far away place called La Llave! Which means the key. The key to what exactly? I have no freaking idea!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂  But, my new companion is Elder Walker and he’s from Jamaica.

From what I have heard he’s super cool and our area is tiny. It’s like 3 blocks, but we’ll see how big it really is!  I’ll send pictures of me and my new companion when I can get them!  Anyway, I have spent basically the last few days packing everything in my house to go to my next area.

It’s been really fun to teach the people in the Ward of Las Americas Dos but my time has come and I must take my leave! Farewell, asphalt, the dirt roads are calling my name! My area isn’t really a campo or farm area but I do hear they have dirt roads and not asphalt. I also hear there’s a place where I can go cave diving in my area so I’m super pumped!

Well that’s really all that I have to share this week.  I’m sorry to cut it short! But I will share a couple of photos of the action Elder Chu has gotten this past week!

Enjoy!

Going forth with the Vision of Christ and an eye of Faith,

Elder Rhys Wheeler

P.S. Mom. Typos please! Thanks!

[Mom’s note:  Cave diving?  Really?  Silly Boy, he can’t go swimming.  SMH]

Rhys' last District/Zone before transfers

The Hermanas sure do LOVE Elder Chu 

Elder Chu keeps watch over Elder Wheeler every night.

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

Letter From Rhys - Week # 46 – Bautismo!!!!!!!!!

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.
