Dear Family
and Friends,
What a great week it has been! Sorry if I always
start my emails like that, its just all the weeks on my mission have been
great! haha But this week was really good because we got a lot of work done and
we now have a new mission President!
So because Elder Kelsch goes home in a week, we are
working really hard and are doing everything that we can to get the work done
in our area! This past week had its ups and downs, as all weeks do, but overall
it was successful! Elder Kelsch got sick though on Saturday night and we spent
the rest of the night and all day Sunday in the flat! He is all better now and
we are ready to smash his final week in the mission! Our investigators are
doing really well and the whole Wharemate family came to church yesterday! We
had some other missionaries come and do a quick exchange with Elder Kelsch and
me so that I could still go to church! It was really good and Brother Wharemate
and his two oldest kids bore their testimony! Maya and Shane are really
progressing towards their baptismal dates in August!
This past week on Thursday, President and Sister
Maxwell left and President and Sister Vidmar arrived! It was sad to think that
I we won't have the Maxwell's as our mission President anymore, but it was
really exciting to think that we have the Vidmar's now! We got to meet them on
Friday at a special meet the Mission President Devotional and they are so
awesome! They are both super excited and full of energy! It was really funny to
see that even the new Mission President and his wife looked like deer in the
headlights! haha They are awesome and I look forward to getting to know them
even more over the course of my final year! They ran into President and Sister
Williamson, my old bishop in my home ward and also the parents of my Best
Friend McKay Williamson, in the MTC! The Williamson's told them all about me
and even gave them a picture of McKay and me at our farewell! It was funny
cause when the Vidmar's first shook my hand, President Vidmar said,
"Sister Vidmar, THIS is Elder Wheeler!" And then he told me that he
has something to show me after the meeting! After the meeting, he pulled the
picture of me and McKay out of his briefcase! haha It was a big surprise!
Overall this week was really good! I am excited for
this next week, but also not because it will be Elder Kelsch's last week in the
mission! But I am glad that I get to serve it with him!
HAPPY 4th of
JULY! All of you who know me, know that this is my most FAVOURITE holiday EVER!
Enjoy it and sing "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" by Toby
Keith for me! haha, my family will laugh when they read that!;) I love and miss
you all!
Elder Wheeler
