Letter From Rhys - Week # 41 – Memorial Day Celebrations!


Feliz Lunes from the tropical land of the Republica Dominicana!

Today, we all know is the wonderful day of cookouts and parties as we remember the sacrifices our families and friends have made for the sake of our freedom and happiness! There are many moments not only in our lives but in the scriptures in which the Lord has helped his people be freed from bondage and tribulation. Actually, on a daily basis, I find myself singing the Battle hymn of the Republic. The last verse really has a powerful impact and is too true about the plan that our Father has for us all.

In the beauty of the Lilies,
Christ was born across the sea,
with a fire in his bosom
that transfigures you and me.
While He died to make men holy,
let us live to make men free,
While God is Marching on!

His truth is marching on and I know it to be true! Every mother, father, son, and daughter that has died for the cause of liberty has felt the love and experienced a part of the life of Jesus Christ as he died so all of us can have the opportunity to live with our Father in Heaven once more. I am glad I am able to bring the Gospel to so many families and help them to know of the marvelous plan of our Heavenly Father! Thanks to Him, all things in our lives can be possible and I know that only through living the Gospel of Jesus Christ and putting our trust in him, can we obtain all of the things that we truly desire in life!


Well anyway, here’s this week’s report! This past Friday we had a baptism of an awesome kid named Eliel! He’s super sick [in a cool slang way, not really ill] and thinks that Elder Chu is the Coolest bro! We had a decent amount of people show up for church this past Sunday and some investigators have started progressing again! But something else super awesome happened on Friday!!!!!

Edeeste, the electrical company that robs people of their money and electricity, finally had a fire lit underneath their butts and got to work! In short! WE HAVE POWER!!!!! It only took 39 days!!!!!!!  Today as well, we had a zone activity! I cooked the Amazing World-Famous Wheeler 7 Pepper Chili!!!!!  It was super good and totally worth it. Hermana Smith let me borrow her canning pot to cook the chili but it was still too small for the chili! I had to make it in 2 separate pots! 

Well that’s really all I’ve got for this week. It’s a little shorter than last week but none the less totally AWESOME! I Love you guys and keep up the awesome Shenanigans!

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

P.S. Mommy!  Don’t you worry Child! Heavens got a plan for me! But its plan for you is to correct those typos! Thanks!!!!!!

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...
