cocroach? that was the most creative thing that popped into my head.‏

hey people. 

sooo hermana beatty left me:( but good news y'all. my new companion. my youngest child. and SMALLEST. is HILARIOUS. but holy hannah she's tiny guys. and super sarcastic. oh wait, i should tell you her name. Hermana Boj, from Guatemala. FINALLY A LATINA. but so refreshingly NORMAL. and we play the guitar together. Imagine Dragons and Taylor Swift.. and wait we're missionaries. i mean hymns. we play hymns. and she plays the piano. and has the same name as mom. she's basically the midget, guatemalan version of me. her only flaw is that her favorite basketball team is the spurs. unfortunate, i know. also she speaks english. boom. pray she's my last comp cause i love her. thanks. 

there's also a new white kid that shares the ward with us. Elder Ward.... from..... the one and only, Mesa, ARIZONAAAAAAAA. we takin' over.

uhm the other day i saw a cocroach the size of my forehead. maybe i shed a tear.

mm what else. well we couldn't get any of our investigators to church so sunday morning i walked hand in hand with an 88 year old woman to the catholic church. why not, right? haha buuuuut we got to church and our awesome 23 year old dude we're teaching was already there. Gerardo. such a baller. said that 2 days after he went to church for the first time, he got the flight dispatcher job he's been waiting for and now he's always gonna come to church cause he says it was a sign from God. he'll be going into the baptismal waters soon. i will keep y'all informed. 

found another AWESOME family contacting in the street. Jazmina and Tomas. they were being taught before and went to church and everything but they didn't want to get married and then they moved and MIRACLE they just got back and we found them and taught them the PLAN OF HAPPINESS and now they wanna get married and baptized and i love life. yup. MIRACLES HAPPEN ONCE IN A WHILEEEEEEEEEEE

well hey. gotta go. (times up it's after six!) name that movie. 

love you tons and tons yeah.

quicky

ayyyyyyyyyyyyy well uhm. this week it rained. a lot. i didn't fall again so that's good news, right? uhm, they're taking hermana beatty away from me :( so sad. i love my little red headed child with all of my heart. buuuuuuut everything happens for a reason! i'm currently pregnant... orrrrrrrrrrr expecting a new child. tomorrow she comes. here we goooooooooooooo with the last 2 changes of my mission. WHAAAAAAT. can't function. Conny and Filadelfo are awesome. Milton is amazing and we should all be like him. Read your scriptures cause they're the best ever. like, the Book of Mormon is for real my best friend. so there's that. here's a pic for proof i'm alive. 

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove, me.

Wilsynn didn't write an email to share (she had no time). There was  a meteorite that hit 20 miles from her but of course she slept right through it. Some people (who don't sleep so heavily) could feel something like a small earthquake when it hit-crazy! She did get her cast off and is limping really bad but said she couldn't just lay around on her bed all day.  I told her to try to not walk around so much and take it easy that the people could wait to hear the gospel which she replied..... "NO ONE CAN WAIT TO HEAR THE GOSPEL. this is an urgent work mom. that's a fact!"  

She loves being a missionary!

Thanks for your support!

Pictures!

me and hermana mcdonald at the leaders meeting

 the back of my foot that looks like a nub.

wake me up.. when september ends... JOKES. sleep is for wusses.‏

oh my gosh. IT IS SEPTEMBER WHAT. how did this even happen. WHAT IS THIS MAGIC. (name the movie and i will pay you.)

wellll uhm GUYS. i got my cast off. WHOOOOOO! best day of life. how smelly was my foot? like a sewer. how hairy was my leg? gorilla status.

byu started... i will be there next semester WHAT. sldkjfnaskenf this week is a bunch of holy hannah what is my life.

wellll i don't have too much time but guess what. CONNY AND CHRISTOPHER AND WENDY GOT BAPTIZED AND IT WAS SO HAPPY. i loved my life. it was beautiful. i can't remember if i said Filadelfo was already a member... but way inactive for like 15 years and now he's a stud. and he was crying and it was so special and tender and AH. guys.

here's the thing. the church is ridiculously true. and it's the only one. and it makes you SO happy. like, raise your hand if you wanna be happy? if you're old or young or tall or short or alone or skinny or fat or sad or friendless or popular or hungry or whatever other describing word that exists. THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS FOR YOU.

so if you are reading this. and you're not a member. or are a member and haven't gone to church in a while. call my mother. go to church with her. i'm serious. 6027030849. ;) hahahaha. DO IT NOW. you will never regret it EVER. i promise :) pinky promise.

okay that's all she wrote. here's some pics.

HAPPPPPPPPPY happy HAPPY feliz happy FELIZ HAPPPPPY‏

Fam bam and amigos. get ready. prepare yourselves. go pee if you feel the urge. grab some popcorn. this is gonna be a long one.. and my english skills are diminishing.. so, patience :)

randoms:

all the mother's rooms in churches here are empty... not because there aren't any babies.. but because everyone just feels the need to do their mother's room business right in the middle of relief society or sacrament meeting. quite lovely, actually.

DANIELLE NICOLE MOORE IS MARRIED. am i old enough for this? i swear i think i'm still 18. my friends can't be getting married. gross.

i was in a taxi, chatting with the driver and the front seat passenger and preaching the restored gospel, ya know. and when the passenger gets out, he shakes my hand.. then whispers to the taxi driver.. ''that was the first time i've touched a white girl's hand..'' creepy, but oddly touching.

this week i realized that THREE YEARS AGO i was starting my senior year of high school.... WHAT? that feels like yesterday.

last week in the grocery i was that annoying grandma in the motorized grocery cart... beeping to back up and all. i felt amazingly special.

one of the new hermanas asked me my first name the other day.. i told her Wilsynn.. and she laughs. so i look at my companion and i'm like.. ''she thinks i'm kidding..'' hahaha. LIFE. it's like elementary school all over again when people would ask me my name and all innocently, thinking my name is perfectly normal, i'm like ''Wilsynn:)'' and they're like.. ''no honey.. your first name...'' DUH.

i CANNOT.. or refuse.. to believe that Kels and Mackenzie and Morgan and Syd are alllll home! as in not missionaries. WHAT. i struggle to grasp these facts sometimes. 

OH MY LISTEN TO THIS. so we were in a meeting with President the other day, and he starts reading this email.. about how if missionaries get seriously injured now, like surgery or casts.. they have to just go home to heal. EVERYONE turns and looks and me and my face was in shock. and President just goes ''Hermana Wheat, you're blessed. i got this email 2 days after you got your cast on.'' wowwwwwwwww. Heavenly Father loves me. i was in shock! i could have been sent home. but i'm here. and i KNOW there's a reason. :)

sooooooo. you all know i LOVED LOVED LOVED Tezoatega. and it was so hard for me to leave. mostly because of Darling and Noel and Cesar and Noheli and Rodrigo and Darling's parents Clementina and Cristobal. AH. but GUESS WHAT. Darling and her kids GOT BAPTIZED:) and Hermano Noel, got to baptize them. his wife and kids! i wasn't there but AH i was SO HAPPY to see the pictures. the miracle of this story. is that Darling was Catholic. but she didn't struggle changing that.. it was her parents that couldn't give up being Catholic. but my last Sunday in that ward, they went to church! and loved it. and learned about eternal families. and realized that that is something that NO OTHER CHURCH can offer them. and then i left Tezoatega and YESTERDAY (4 weeks later) CLEMENTINA AND CRISTOBAL GOT BAPTIZED. i cried when i saw Hermana Zepeda the other day and she told me they were gonna get baptized. i, wilsynn wheat, legit cried. i have NEVER been so happy in my whole life. missionary work is the happiest thing on earth people. TESTIFY.

so there's that. also. i have to admit, that when i found out i was leaving Tezoatega, i dropped down on my knees and asked Heavenly Father why. not too proud of that question, because WE never need to know why. we should just trust that He has something planned especially for us. AND HE DID. remember Coni and Filadelfo? wow. they are AMAZING. Hermana Coni had a dream, where Jesus came up to her and asked her if she wanted to get to know him. YES CONI, YOU DO. and the gospel and the Book of Mormon help us TRULY get to know our Savior. i know it :)

also. she had this weird experience that i'm not sure what to think of it but here it goes. she said one day she heard Christopher screaming and she went into his room and he was on the floor and the room was so dark and there was some dark shadow over her son? she said she felt frozen and she'd never been so scared in her life, and that she just dropped to her knees and started praying and everything went back to normal. wellllllll some of her friends and family decided to take advantage of that and tell her that it was God punishing her for changing religions. my testimony of our Heavenly Father's love for his children grew SO much in that moment as i told her that God would NEVER EVER do something like that to us. He loves us so much. so so so much! i always knew it. but the spirit was so strong when i told her that, that i feel like it is something i will never forget. HEAVENLY FATHER LIVES AND LOVES US:) i know it. without a single doubt in my mind.

then she said that after that experience... she called her pastor... oh no.. and waited a day for him to come. and the next day she prayed and said, Heavenly Father, whoever you send to me, my Pastor, the hermanas, that's where i will know that i need to go. GUYS. the Pastor never went to her house. Me and Hermana Beatty showed up. and she's getting baptized on Saturday. with her kids. AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY AHHHH. 

this is the Lord's work. He loves us. this is the true church. it makes us SO HAPPY! happy happy happy happy happy happy that's my favorite word in case you didn't know. well happy.. and tender. those two. good words. 

i hope you're not asleep. i hope that made sense. i love you.

love from the cripple

suuuuup my americans

so like, my cast is really dirty. and so HOT. done complaining.

i love life, really:)

soooooooooo this week. has been a test of my patience, but good none the less! i have learned so much, really. my companion. IS THE BEST. i just love her with all of my heart. she passed the test. we were in church. i leaned forward. she scratched my back. that's all i need in a companion. hahaah jokes. she's really so awesome. so hard working, her Spanish is awesome, and she brings me water from the fridge. 

funnies:

heard some girl in pizza hut behind me speaking English. I'm interested right? then she starts speaking more. ''homegirl what's up like what is the deal homegirl mmmm homegirl....'' someone remind me NOT to talk like that when i get home.

some woman with GRAY pigtail braids and 4 teeth tried to make me eat baby squid in black juice. i told her i was allergic and she got real mad.

some guy told me he was in love with me because i have a pointy nose... like WHAT. is my nose pointy? I've been so self conscious this week.

this guy in my area says he picks names for all of the missionaries since we won't tell him our real names. my name is now Nicole.

i saw an elder wipe his nose with his tie the other day.. and the first thing i though was ''wow. I'm jealous. i wish i had a tie to wipe my nose...'' LIKE WHAT. who am i? someone help me. I've become a cave woman.

okaaaaaaaay guys. you gotta pray for Coni and Filadelfo and their kids Cristopher and Wendy cause i LOVE THEM. and they wanna get baptized. but they like going to another ward better and they can't get baptized unless they come to my ward cause that's where they need to go and it's a struggle and i need heaven's help. so thanks:) they came to our ward this Sunday though! it was amazing.

AND DRUM ROLLLLLLLLLL. MILTON GOT BAPTIZED. he was SO happy :) really, i could tell he wanted this change in his life so much. he really is such an example to me. and another testimony to me of how the Book of Mormon really does CHANGE people. read it. be like Milton. haha. 

LOVE YOU ALL. i will be home in 4 months from today. (WHAT) the church is true. the book is blue. and so is my cast...still.
