Hey Everybody,

So it has been a great week once again. The lucky thing about being on a mission is it seems to be a great week every week. But ya we had a ward party last night, that was probably one of the best ones I have ever been to. The missionaries did it. So it was supposed to be the eight of us that organized it. But the assistants weasled their way right out of helping with anything, just showing up right in time for it to start. But anyway it was a lot of fun. So those are the pics that I attached. So first when people were getting there, they each got a name tag, with their names and a number on it. And then they got a list of things that they had to make for certain people corresponding to their numbers. But they had to make everything out of newspaper. So that will explain a little bit of the pictures. So it was good and got everyone excited and so they weren´t just sitting around. They had to do something for someone else, so it made it better and it broke the ice so everyone was in the mood to have fun. Then after everyone was dressed in their newspaper attire, we sat in a circle of chairs. And everyone had a paper of an animal under their seats. So they had to find out what kind of animal they were and to find which group they were in they had to make the sound of that animal and go and find the rest of the people that were making that noise. It sounds kinda weird, but it was a lot of fun. Because everyone was doing it, so you didn´t feel stupid being the only ones haha.

 

But anyway I was in the bishops group. And that guy is one of the most fun people to be around. So anyway each group had a game to play. We had five different activities to do. And so there were five different groups. So we had a group that had to do a three legged race, and carry a balloon without their hands across the cultrual hall. And then the next was they had to suck m&m´s out of a bottle with a straw and take them to another table with a bowl, with only using the straw to take them. So the bishop cheated for our team of course. He was pouring the m&m´s out of the bottle on to the table because it was hard to get them out of the bottle. That was kind of the point when we came up with it. But anyway then the next one, they had to roll marbles across half of a ping pong table and have them stick to little squares of tape that were on the other end of the table. Then the next was we had bowls of flour filled with candy. That they had to dig out of the bowl with nothing but their mouths. So everyone got really messy with that. And then the last one that was the messiest. We had all of the team but one person lay on the ground on their backs. And then there was one that had a big bowl of jello that went by and dropped the jello from about waist high trying to make it into the people´s mouths. It was pretty messy but really fun. And then there were a ton of people that brought treats to eat after. So it was just a really fun activity and everyone had a lot of fun. We even had investigators there, that were doing everything, it was just something I don´t think I have ever done before. But it was good. 

Other than that we have just been working hard. This transfer ends this wednesday already, it is just crazy how fast the time flies by. It has already been another six weeks, which I cannot believe. But I am loving it. It has been such a blessing to be here in the offices. I have had so much fun by being here, but at the same time, I am working just as hard. It just makes a difference when you can enjoy things, to how they turn out. Because I can see why people say this is the hardest time in their lives, because when you aren´t enjoying it, it would be very hard. But thankfully this transfer I have had awesome companions and have just been able to enjoy it all. It also doesn´t hurt being able to be here with president and his family all of the time. 

So the pictures, the first one I believe is of all of us in our newspaper outfits. I personally like my diamond ring haha. Then there are some of us playing the jello game. That is the bishop next to me trying to funnel in the jello haha. He is such a funny guy. And then there is also one of me and him right after the jello game. There were just so many good pictures this time I didn´t know which ones to pick. But I think that these ones may have captured the night. I have some videos that another elder took that I am going to try and send in another email. But ya I just have to count my blessings with everything that I have been given and the great experience that I am so blessed to have. 

I hope all is going well at home. It sounds like everything is starting to warm up a little that is good. We are still in just hot and humid right now. Which is weird because it isn't supposed to be humid. But it is. So I don't know what is going on. I am just hoping for it to cool down a little bit soon. Anyway I am doing great and I hope that you guys all are as well. I love you all so much and thanks for the letters this week. The support means so much to me. I don't think you understand how much your letters help. So I just wanted to say thanks for all of them. I love you all,

Until next week,

Elder Wheeler

P.S. Mom I thought of something else that I might need in a package if you are sending another one anytime soon. I need some good pens. Because it is very hard to find a good pen around here. They all die within two seconds or just don't work at all. Also whenever you come up with more recipes I am ready to hear them. Because I am in a place now that I have a lot more access to things so I can cook a little bit more of what I want. So any ideas when you think of them would be great thanks!
