Letter From Rhys - Week # 49 – T.G.I MONDAYS!


Feliz Lunes from the topical land of the Republica Dominicana!

This week was a week full of interesting events.  The one that sticks out the most is what happened this past Friday! So Last Sunday, we heard that the youth of the ward were going on a temple trip! One of our recent converts was a youth and we’ve been teaching the rest of his family. So, he comes to his mom and says they’re going to the temple on Friday! When we heard this, we jumped on board and said we could all go to the temple together and give them a tour of the temple grounds. All was good to go, until Friday!

Friday, I had some interviews for some baptismal candidates in the afternoon before the trip to the temple. In our effort to find a man to leave with us, the second counselor of the bishopric told us that the temple trip started a 4 not at 5 and that changed everything!!!

So, scrambling ourselves to get everything ready for this sudden change in schedule was hectic! We scrambled about looking for a man, we found one and he bailed at the last minute!  We went to the temple hoping that there was a man present and available to help us, with it being Friday night. We get there at what we thought was late, 5:30, to find that our ward with our investigators were not there!!!!

They hadn’t left our ward yet!!! After they had finally gotten there at 7:15, we couldn’t share with them because we had to go home to get into the house on time.  So, our Friday afternoon, we stayed at the temple grounds sadly doing nothing.  However, I have learned an important lesson. Unless you organize it yourself, don’t go to the temple with members … and bring your own investigators!

On another note, today we had the opportunity to go to TGI FRIDAYS for lunch! For the first time in a long time I could enjoy a Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Fettuccini Alfredo and a tomato mozzarella salad! It was super good and worth the price.  We almost got lost getting there because we took a different route then from the last time we went to Outback Steakhouse which was right next door.

I’m out of time, so here’s the answer I promised you all for the riddle in my last week’s email!

Throw rocks at the monkey! And he will start throwing mangos at you!!!

That’s all for today folks and I hope you enjoyed the riddle! Have a great week!

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

Elder Rhys Wheeler

P.S. Mom!!!!! Sync your email more often and then fix the typos please!!!!! I love you!!!! BYE!!!!!!

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 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 #15 - The Adventures of Elder Chu: Part 1

Feliz Lunes from the tropical land of the Republica Dominicana. This Week is all about the adventures of Elder Chu, but before we get to that a quick update.  2 of our 4 people to get baptized this past week were.  The others were pushed back to the first weeks of December.  Also, we have had many miracles in our area which include finding gold! (Investigator) The name of this Gold is Jennifer. Jennifer has been attending the church for quite some time now, and has a testimony that it is God's church on the earth but she has not been baptized.  This is because she's moved a lot and never talked with the missionaries before.  We found her while looking for someone else.  We stopped by her home to see if she knew someone who had been contacted during the Cosecha in the previous week and she then proceeded to search for this person for us for 15 min.  It was an amazing find. Now to the part with Elder Chu!  The Wonderful big yellow stuffed Pokémon Pikachu who is named Eld
