Letter #94 from Australia

May 7, 2017

Dear Family & Friends,

What a great week it has been! It was filled with transfer day, and all of the fun that comes with it! Elder Wiser and Elder Watanabe are off to bigger and better companions and new areas! It was sad to see my 'W' companions leave me, but it was so great to be joined with Elder Kaufusi! He is so great and is a gun missionary! Let me tell you about this kid that I call my soa! (companion in Samoan.) He is half Tongan and half white person, haha and is from SLC Utah! He went to Brighton High School and played football and basketball for the school! Now, here is where it gets really cool! He has a full ride scholarship to BYU for football and will be attending there after he gets home from his mission next year! He has been out just under 10 months and is such a great missionary! He is so humble about everything and is such a hard worker! I have really gotten to know him this past week and I love him so much! We get along great and work really well together! 

This week was a good one for us and we were able to find a new investigator! His name is Emanuel and we will now be working with him! Bobby is doing really well and we met with him again this past week and he is SO KEEN to be baptized! That is all he could talk about! haha He has been keeping commitment and has been reading in the Book of Mormon and praying about it all! He told us that he is beginning to believe that it is all true! We haven't gotten in contact with Frans and so we are pretty sad about that! But, we have faith that the Lord will help us find him again! Other than that, it was a pretty normal week! Nothing to big to report on! 

I hope that you all have a great week and keep up the great work! Enjoy Mother's Day this coming Sunday and give your mum a big hug and a kiss! Enjoy all that the week brings and if you are graduating from school soon, actually go to school these final couple of weeks!;) haha I love you all and miss you all heaps! 

Love,

Elder Wheeler
