Moments from a Missionary

The G's are great, H. came to church again.  A. & T. B. are back!:) Elder Tupou is awesome! M.H. and Sons are also great they came to a picnic with us and the ward yesterday. We had a great successful weekend at the dandelion festival and even got to meet the mayor of WSS...more details next week...very short on time. My WSS District at  9:00  after a very long and crazy transfer day... Elder Tupou and I at the Dandelion Festival in WSS M. and sons at Droop Mountain State Park for Memorial day picnic ​ WSS Mayor and his wife...wonderful people Our Booth...centered around because of him and the scriptures...the city also set us up with wifi so we could do live family search with festival goers. love you Elder Wheeler ART

​Meet the Mormons went splendid, while we as full-time missionaries were not able to go, we were told about 70 people attended with about a dozen non-members (The Griffiths included, who said she loved it and wants to buy the film) and a few Part-member families and Less-active members also came. The reception of the film in Lewisburg was great, all the shops around town who we give Carnegie Posters to also displayed the posters from the Lewis Theater Promoting the film.  ​Including our friends at the Irish Pub...notice the Meet the Mormons Flyer in the Window... ​The Day of the Showing we went to a Zone Conference in Lexington VA, where Elder Sawyer and I were the Grand winners for the Cleanest Car in the Mission. I was also seated next to the Stake President Jones, when he found out that getting Meet the Mormons off the ground here said "you rock" and he informed me that since then the stake has arranged to have the Meet the...

​West Virginia at the End of Winter ​West Virginia in spring...We had a lot of fun taking these two photos...We are up on a Farm House hill up Big Draft in White Sulphur Springs, the winter photo the homeowner's weren't home when we knocked on their door...When we went back to take the spring photo and they were home and outside, and after talking with them for a moment and explained our hopes in getting a spring photo they were more than willing to share their front porch view with us, and they got to know the Mormons a little better....some thought in contrast of these two photographs shows us the promise of hope and renewal.     The Week was another week of miracles, H.G. continues to amaze me with her sincerity and commitment to learn more...Heavenly answers and guidance have been and will continue to be her's as she applies the time honored practice taught by the savior and prophets modern and ancient of seeking, acting in faith (reading sc...

I don't have a ton of time today, the weather here has been excellent and we are going to be enjoying one of the Greenbriar Valley's treats...spelunking with the district. Interesting to note the city of Lewisburg was actually built on top of a rather large cave system in-fact most of the city's storm water runs through caves...it should be a real treat. I am understanding more about how heavenly father answers our prayers and Nephi means when he says "for we know it is by Grace that we are saved after all we can do." (2 Nephi 25:23) The G. Family has been wonderful, I love this family it has been an absolute privilege to teach and visit with them. H. G. (wife and mother of the family) she is super mom, It has been so admirable to see her in the way that she simply strives to do nothing but serve her family and be a good mom....speaking of which ​I love you mom:) Happy Mothers Day H. has been reading the Book of Mormon everyday and has been r...
