Hey Fam,
Well everything is going great. We have had a great week. We had zone conference this past week and it was awesome. Elder Resek who is an area seventy came and talked to us. It was really cool. It is amazing the spirit you can feel from a representative of the lord. I hope that the people that we teach daily can feel even a fraction of that spirit that I was able to feel while he was talking. He was just full of insight and it was just what I needed. It was one of those were you feel like there are things that you need to change, but at the same time you just love it because you are full of the spirit. The conferences are great because they make me realize the things I need to work on and get better at. Because something I think we all know is that we are nowhere near perfect and there are lots of things that we need to get better at. So it was really good to be able to have that little boost from him and to be able to continue working. I am so thankful for the leaders that we have in this church and for all of the help that they give us.
Well this week we have had a great week of finding good people. We had an investigator in church, she told us she was going to come and then showed up right on time. We sat with her and for the whole testimony meeting she was crying. She felt the spirit pretty strong I think, so we are pretty excited. And it was just awesome because after the meeting there were just tons of members that came over to say hi and introduce themselves. She really enjoyed it and it was just awesome for us as well. Also we found another lady that had lost her son about four or five years ago and we were able to teach her about the plan of salvation. She loved it. She was telling us she has tried just about every church and everyone of them has not been what she needed. But after listening to the plan that we were able to share with her she was really excited. And she said that what we were sharing with her made her feel just so good. Because the loss of her kid hasn`t left her since it happened. So she was really happy to hear that there is hope. And she said that her door was open for us to come visit whenever we wanted. So that was really cool. We had a really good lesson with her and the spirit was there for sure. We all just felt elevated. Being a missionary is unlike anything else in this world that I have experienced before. I love it so much and I wouldn`t trade the wonderful experiences for anything. It is amazing because you can have a week of crappy things and then you have one good appointment and you forget about all of the problems. It is just indescribable...Those that have been.. know what I am talking about. I know that this is where I am supposed to be and that I am learning things that I will be able to use for the rest of my life to help me.
I thank you all for the letters of support and the prayers. They are much needed, although this is the most rewarding work I have ever done it doesn`t change the fact that it is very difficult at times, but being positive and knowing that I have my family at home supporting me and friends it makes it a lot easier. so thank you for all of that and for always being there for me when I need you. I love each and everyone of you and hope you are having a great week. I am so proud to be able to call you my family and to have the knowledge that if we do what we need to in this life that we can live together forever. I love you all and want you all to know that you mean everything to me. I love being able to share my testimony of my family and to be able to share the things that you do for me. Thanks for everything and I hope you have a great week, talk to ya soon.
Love,
Elder Wheeler
