Happy Halloween!

This week has been pretty good. I got to go on exchanges with my district leader Elder Hassell, and he is an awesome fun guy🍄 and we got a lot of work done that day.

We went to two Trunk or treat parties, one on Friday and next on Saturday. It was lot of fun.

On Wednesday we get to go to the temple!!  I'm excited for it. 

Developing a Christlike Character

Laters,

Elder Wheelwright

This is the kind of houses we have in our area...

Still here....

​Transfers happened and I have stayed. Elder Turner has stayed as well. We will however be getting another companion sometime in the next couple weeks. Elder Windsor went home for medical reasons a while back and is coming back, so we'll be a trio for the rest of the transfer. 

Some highlights of this week:

- We had the other "Why I Believe" fireside last night and that was great as well.

- We had our investigator Tom come to Church to listen to me speak in sacrament meeting. ​Tom also came to the fireside.

Hey guys

Some highlights from the past week.​

- We had Zone Conference and it was really great. (We got lost on the way there and ended up 2 hours late....)

- "Why I believe" RC fireside was last night and that was really great. We got to perform some great musical numbers and hear from some great recent converts. We are having another fireside this Sunday for the north half of the mission, so that will be awesome as well.

- We went bowling and that was pretty fun. We played two games and my highest was 116.

- We contacted a referral this week named Douglas, and he loves scriptures and he loves the Book of Mormon but he has a few concerns we're trying to work out with him. He is really awesome, but he has a strange way of thinking and of how he views the world.

World-Wide Indexing Event  Don't miss out!!

Have a great week,

Hey!

Tuesday, October 10,2017

The libraries were indeed closed yesterday and we are emailing today. 

This past week was ok. We were able to ​teach Curtis and get to talk to Tom. Curtis enjoyed the message of the restoration, but it has not touched his heart yet. We just got to know Tom and set expectations. 

A really cool thing that happened is George Durrant and Susan Easton Black came to visit our mission while they were doing some other devotionals here, so we got to hear them. They are both incredible. Susan Easton Black is probably the most knowledgeable person about Joseph Smith on the planet (I'm not kidding). She's written/co-authored over 160 books, and I plan on reading a couple when I get home. 

One of my new favorite quotes:

"Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it eludes you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." - Henry David Thoreau

Have a blessed week,

Elder Wheelwright

Truly connected

Found this buried in my email:

"Your sons say hello!  There is a true connection between them.

Ask them about the invite to ignite program!   We just love them!"

Got this text/picture from someone shopping at Walmart today.

a pretty good week

This week was a pretty good week.

Some highlights:

-We were finally able to make contact with our 80 yr old investigator, and we are going to see him tomorrow. 

-We spent nearly all of Saturday with our investigator Curtis. We went to his apartment (literally next door) and watched the first session with him. Then he took us out to lunch. Then we went back and watched the second session. He had things to do so he couldn't watch the priesthood session, but after that session he met us at cold stone with the elder's quorum. He liked general conference. 

-I got to watch general conference. Awesome awesome.

*** For those that haven't watched general conference, watch it. 

*** For those that watched General Conference, continue to study it over the next month. 

Have a Wonderful week!
