Get out the scrapbook paper! We have a new Historian:)

Hey Everybody,

So sorry about yesterday, we were not near anything where we could right. We went to a place called Nihuil, which is like the big lake thing I went to a while ago. But a little further and there were some members that have a cabin type deal up there, so we took a bus with them up to visit. And the bus that was supposed to leave in the afternoon to bring us back hasn´t been running for a couple months. Only the one at nine at night. So we didn´t have much of a choice but to sit and wait around for the last bus. But that is why I didn´t write yesterday, was because I was stuck in the middle of nowhere. And this computer is being stupid so I can´t send any photos. So maybe this next time. 


Oh ya by the way my p-day will be switching to saturday I believe. Because I am getting transferred! I am headed to the offices. I don´t exactly understand why, but I get to be the new historian yay! And the offices have p-day on saturday. So you might need to write a little earlier this week. Ya that was a huge surprise that I am getting transferred there. I was pretty sure that I was getting transferred but had no idea there. But I have been told by everyone that when you get sent there with as little time that I have it is because president wants to prepare you for some leadership position. So we will see. I don´t know if it is that or somehow he figured out that I know about computers. Because I was trying to keep that underwraps. I didn´t tell anyone that I know of, but I am thinking that for some reason he found out and ya. So could be a little of both of those. Anyway I am ready for a new challenge. Accept that I won´t get to go proselyting very much, because for this first transfer I am getting trained to be the historian. I don´t really know what I will be doing, but ya. So anyway that is the big change going on here. 

Also I wanted to send you the pictures but we had two more baptisms this past weekend. Unfortunately though we are both getting transferred from this area, because my comp is going to be a zone leader, ya I don´t know about that one. But I just feel bad about us both leaving them. Also I have been saying goodbye to all of the members and converts. Because I have grown very close to almost all of them in this area. I know it is how it goes and that you have to leave, but it will always be a special place for me. The members are so good here. Well for the most part haha. I will miss them all but I am excited for a new challenge. I am so happy to be here and can see the lords hand in all of this work. It is a wonderful blessing I have to be here. 

On sunday the bishop asked me to give a talk. So I was putting scriptures together that I could use to give one, and was pretty confident that I could do the ten or fifteen minutes he wanted. But as I walked up there he whispered to me to only give my testimony and so I didn´t have to worry about it. He must have been inspired that I was going so he made me give my testimony. But it all worked out because then I didn´t have to give a talk because he felt like he needed to take some time to talk to the ward. So ya it was pretty good. 

Also another good thing about being in the offices is that I will get my packages as soon as they get there. And I won´t have to wait another month for them to come. But ya I am sure that I will love it wherever I am put. Because the Lord knows what he is doing and puts us where we need to be. So for something I am headed there. Also remember that p-day is now saturday as far as a I know. So write earlier if you can. 

Anyway thanks for everything you do and all of the support you give me. I can feel all of your prayers and want to thank you for that. I love you all and hope you have an excellent week. 

Love,
Elder Wheeler
