Dear Family and Friends,
General Conference was wonderful. It wasn't as convenient to watch as it was 6 months ago but we were extremely grateful to be able to watch it at the Kingstown chapel. Our new members were there and for the most part soaked it up. We also had a surprise, the young mother we found a week ago at the TOP of a gap who hadn't been to church for years came. She was less than cordial when we found her, no she was rude; but gradually warmed a little. She loved Elder and Sister Amos who served her years ago and I have had quite a few people tell me that I remind them of her and she thought so too. Hopefully we can encourage her because of that coincidence--no coincidences right? We had lunch with Meezan and Gary Adams between sessions, we have become very good friends.
We went to the island of Bequia last Monday and it was fun. There is a turtle farm there and beautiful beaches. Elder Harris talked to a young man who was diving for shells and he got a big conch shell from him for me. It is beautiful. Good day!!!
We have also had a good week with the lovebirds(couples who are living together but not married). We were discouraged but we received good news from two couples in the past two days. Albert and Dominique will be married this Saturday and she will be baptized the next Saturday. Elders Risenmay and Gilley were ready to give her the drop lesson and she surprised them. The couple we have been teaching were going to put off getting married until December; we gave them the Chastity lesson again and talked about how they knew the Lord was guiding them. At the close of that lesson, Brendon gave a wonderful prayer. They told us at Conference that they would keep their first goal of getting married on the Oct. 20 and baptized on Oct. 24. We are being so blessed. They told us that they are going to name their baby Chastity
We also had two baptisms on Wednesday. Sister Johns who is 66 years old and the best little lady was baptized in the morning and stood on the beach after her baptism and bore a strong testimony. She hummed and giggled all the way home. We went back to Calliaqua and watched the Joseph Smith film with Nathan Daniels, who was baptized later that afternoon, and Elders Vaea and Vi and Brother Phillips. The spirit was so strong. We all bore our testimonies after and there were tears of joy all around. Brother Daniels is a very special man and will do much to build the Church in St. Vincent. His baptism was exceptional!!! He loved Conference and was thrilled by the Tabernacle Choir and the messages that just made things more clear and answered his questions. He can't learn fast enough; he attended all five sessions of conference and couldn't wait to get home to read his notes and ponder.
We are enjoying great relationships with all the Elders. Our apartment is a great place to meet and share what is happening with "the work" on the island and eat of course. Elder Wheeler says, "They are all bottomless pits." Six of the eight Elders experienced being incarcerated in the police station in Guyana and then deported.
We have tender feelings about home and the fall season. It is still hot here; it was 95 on Saturday. We had rain and wind today so it was only 90.
We love ya all,
Elder and Sister Wheeler
