Dear Family and
Friends,
As another
week comes to a close, I am reflecting on how fast my mission is going and I am
saddened. I don't want it to go this fast but it is a good motivator to get
back out there and work hard! As far as news goes, this week Elder Theurer and
I got a new companion! Elder Barrozo, who is from the Philippians! He won't be
with us for long because he is assigned to work in the Croydon area, an area
right next to ours, but he doesn't have a companion yet. So he has been with us
since Friday and will be with us till Thursday! We are excited to have him with
us and we are doing awesome work with the three of us!! It is a little awkward
door knocking with the tree of us, because people think we are there to bash
them or something! So we usually just have one of us stay on the side walk
while the other two go up to the door! But all is good and it is really fun! We
never have a dull moment with the three of us with our sense of humor!
We have just
been doing the same work as last week! Doing lots of finding and trying to find
those people that we need to teach! We received a referral this past week from
the office and we are hoping and praying that it will work out! A referral is
when someone tells you to go visit someone they know, who may accept our
message! An office referral is when someone goes online, to LDS.org, and either puts their information in or
someone else's information in and requests visits from missionaries! We really
think that this one will work out because the girl has been living with an LDS
family for the past couple of months in Cali. We will visit her this week after
she gets home and will hopefully start to teach her the lessons!
All is well
here in Yarra Valley and we are heading to a wildlife sanctuary in our area
today, so I will have a lot of fun and cool pictures for you all next week! We
were just told by someone here at the library that the Denver Broncos beat the
Patriots. All of you know that I am a huge Broncos fan, so as you could guess,
I am VERY happy with this outcome!
I want to
thank all of you for being amazing friends.
I appreciate all of the support that you have continued to show my
family and me while I am serving. I love you all and hope that you have a great
week.
Love,
Elder Wheeler
