Hey Family!
So, I`m pretty sure this week has been the best week of my mission so far! Even though there were good and bad things. I`ll start with the not so good.
So this week we had divisions in my zone. I went to a house with 4 Americans (I`ll get into that in a sec) but one of my good friends who is the Zone Leader named Elder Johnson has something called Scabies because he had to sleep on the floor one time about two months ago and now he has those. TOTALLY SICK. I`m sure you could find out more stuff about them than I know, but he had to go to the doctor and get creams and all kinds of stuff. Well, he being the person he is and us being four Americans in the same house for divisions this week obviously through blankets on me and would yell ¨SCABIES!¨ and stuff like that, just being funny and messing around and stuff because he said the doctor said their not contageous.
THAT`S NOT TRUE.
They are contagious and now I have them. THEY TOTALLY ITCH ALL THE TIME! But now I have some cream stuff and their starting to go away, but I officially have been here too long.
Just a mildly funny experience that I`m sure I`ll laugh about in the future (Like our super activity to the Grand Canyon) but for now, it`s less funny.
Anyway, about the divisions, guess who I went with this week for divisions? ELDER ROGERS! It was totally awesome! So Goobert and I were companions and it was so much fun! It was seriously so cool to hang out with him and work with him, too. He goes home in December, but I was so happy. I learned some stuff from him, too and it`s totally hilarious because we both speak pretty good Spanish whereas the last time we saw eachother, not so much. But it was awesome and I attatched pictures!

Also for this week, Octaviano got baptized and confirmed! It was so awesome. He really was so happy. Before the baptism he was even pretending to fight Elder Jensen with Karate since he was wearing that white jumpsuit. Totally hilarious that guy. He even bore his testimony voluntarily after his baptism and on Sunday which was a testimony meeting! He is very happy with his decision and I think he is going to go a long way. He is now on the road to be with his wife forever even if right now they can`t be together. It`s something that I know is completely true and is one of the greatest blessings we can have here in this life; to be with one`s family forever, and there is only one place and by one authority that it can be done. I testify that is true.
Octaviano`s baptism! That`s his family that came to support him! His brother and his nephew and neice. He`s a bishop in another ward! He gave him a Book of Mormon in December and it just goes to show that the Lord is prparing these people way before we know them!
It`s also the end of the change! But I don`t think my companion or I will be going anywhere. I will let you know! Today we are going hiking. I`ll send pictures next week!
We have high hopes for the future and life is totally awesome with me. No complaints! Totally content.
This is totally the true church. I`ve seen it change lives, and it can change everyone`s if they let it. Sometimes we`re too prideful to accept the Lord`s will, which is not always ours, but that`s okay because he knows best!
You are the best family ever!
Much love,
Elder Wheeler
P.S. Elections here in Mexico were yesterday!
Questions:
How was it saying goodbye to the Romney's?
It was kind of sad because they totally rock! But we got to give them a hug and I`ll keep in touch with them, I`m sure. At least by Facebook after the mish. They seriously were so awesome!
How does the new mission president seem?
I have not met him yet! He just got here on Saturday I`m pretty sure and I guess we`ll have a conference or interviews with him on July 10th. I`ll let you know! I`m sure he`ll be great, though!
Did you get a new bag?
I did! I bought a new one becuase the other was really good, but really heavy. This new one weighs less with all my scriptures and pamphlets than the other one does empty. NOT EXAGGERATING. And now everyone wants one. Starting trends.
