Dear Family &
Friends,
This week has flown by and it is crazy to think that we
are already in November!!! It seems just like yesterday, it was January? Where
has the time gone? Well, Elder Halsey had his last week on his mission, this
past week, and heads home this Wednesday. It is sad to seem him go, but he has
finished his mission and is excited to see his family again. This week we had
our monthly Mission Leadership Council meeting as well as Zone Conference. They
were both great meetings and I really enjoyed them. Of course seeing all of my
missionary friends is a plus to it too! The work in the area is going great and
we found a new investigator this week named Michael.
Michael was a referral from the Samoan-speaking Sister in
our zone. They found him and they passed him on to us cause he lives in our
area. He is 21 years old and is half Samoan and half Cook Islander. We met him
and had a short lesson with him on Thursday, which went really well. Then we
visited him again on Saturday and taught him about the Restoration. It made a
lot of sense to him and at the end of the lesson; we invited him to be baptized
on the 3rd of December. He agreed and is really excited to be baptized. We will
continue to work with him and help him to find out for himself that this is the
true church. Things are looking great for Michael.
We also have been working with a Less-Active family named
the Fuentes Family. I think that I have mentioned them before. Well they have
been taking the temple preparation classes and have been coming to church the
past few weeks. They are doing really well and are making huge strides towards
the temple so they can be sealed as a family. Thinks are looking great for them
and their family.
The work is going really well in the area and I am
so happy to be able to be apart of it. Transfers are on the 15th of this month,
but we already know who is staying and who is leaving. When Elder Halsey leaves
on this Wednesday, I will continue to serve with Elder Wilson, but Elder Lawler
will join us. He will be the new zone leader with me in the area. He is from
Queensland Australia and is an outstanding missionary. I know him really well
and can't wait to begin serving with him. Well at transfer time, Elder Wilson
will be leaving the area and will be heading to a new area with his new
companion. President wasn't planning on having him stay with us for more than
one transfer. It will be sad to see them go, but I am happy to be staying in
the area for another 6 weeks! It means that I will be in this area for my Birthday
and Christmas! I can't wait! I love this area and I am more than happy and keen
to stay in it for 9 months! Haha. All is well and the work continues to move
forward! I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Elder Wheeler
P.S. Huge Shout
Out to my older sister Shae and my brother-in-law Colten who both celebrated
their 23rd Birthday this past week! I love you both so much and am so grateful
for the amazing examples that you are to me!
P.S.S. Another Huge
Shout Out to my cousin Morgen who returned home this past week from her
mission! Congrats on serving well and returning with honor!!! Love you!
