Dear Family-
So, not much is happening for Thanksgiving. We are going to a member's house at one, but besides that we are going to play monopoly with some other elders at the church, but we really aren't doing anything. I do have to give a talk in church next Sunday on missionary work so that will be easy. We got an inch of snow last week so that was really cool. Me and my new comp are getting along really well. Can I have ACP's address? I want to send them a letter. Well, how is everything going right now? Well, nothing is really going on here right now. Well, I love you guys and miss you. Daniel

Dear Family-
My new comp is Elder Norton. He is from New Mexico and he goes home in June, so I won't be killing him off. Why do we have 3 dogs? That is one too many. On Saturday we baptized Nate Fisher. I should be having at least one more baptism this month and at least two in December which will be really nice. I get to call you in almost a month which is crazy. When I talk to you I will have been out six month and I will just have 18 more to go. Well, my big coat broke, the zipper came off of it. It is going to snow this week so I need it. What I was thinking is that I will keep it and you go and talk to Doug and ask him to send me a new one and when I get the new one I will mail you the broken one to give to him. Does that sound okay? Let me know next week and let me know if that is what is going to happen. Well, you want to know what the high priests can do for missionary work. Well, I would say share the gospel with their friends, but all their friends are probably really old and stuck in their ways... just kidding. But, always go out with the missionaries as much as they can. The best thing is to have a member at every teaching appointment. Also, give the missionaries referrals and if the missionaries are following Preach My Gospel they will call you and let you know how it went when they went to see them. Also, on page 13 of Preach My Gospel there are quotes from the prophets. I like the one from George Albert Smith. I like to read this one to people when they don't do missionary work because its not just talking about going it is also talking about after. You should read that one to them it will get people motivated. Well, I love you and I miss you guys. Elder Wesley

11/3 & 10 e-mails
We were busy last week and did not get that e-mail posted, so here are segments from his last two e-mails:
11/03
I got the sweaters and they are a little too big. I will mail them back. Is mom glad to be home and happy to see everyone again? So how is Darcy doing? I got the shirt today that she sent me. That was nice of her. She said the she is going to start to go to school to be a nurse which will be nice. You can always have a job where ever you want. That was nice of the Waldies to have you over at their house. Tell them hi for he and that i miss seeing them. Also will you call Jasmine and tell her to email me? I can e-mail whoever I want. Pres. Pugh lets us. I have been wanting to hear from her for a long time. Well, that is crazy about my car. So, are you guys going to keep grandmas or sell it? How is Jane doing? Darcy was happy to get her. Well, with the people I have been working with, Nate is doing really good. The Bishop's family had him and us over for Sunday dinner which was nice. He should be getting baptized on the 15 and we should have this other girl soon, too, which will be nice to have two people getting baptized. I don't think I will be able to go to the fireside (for the elders leaving the mission). I will most likely go and stay with the other elders in my district and stay with them till I get a new comp. which will be on Monday some time. Do you see the missionarys much? Well I don't think there is much else going on right now, but i will let you know in a letter. There is one thing can you do for me. Look a Sam's Club and see if they have a big thing of airborne because Wal-Mart just has those little ones with I think 12 in them but this one elder had a big one that had a lot and he said his mom mailed it to him. So if I could have one of those so I don't have to keep wasting my money on getting those it would help a lot. Thanks for everything. Love, Daniel

Things are going really good and I will be having a baptism on Sat. which is going to be cool. Number 6 so that is nice and so far they all are still going to church which is even better. So I don't know who my new companion is. I'm staying with some elders in my district and they wanted to go e-mail and so I will e-mail again today when my comp gets here which I don't know when that will be. I will e-mail you again and tell you who he is (he did not get a chance to e-mail again, so we will find out next week). So, I love you, Daniel

Zone conference was so good! It started with us going to the site of the Hale's home and then we got back on the bus and went over to the site where the Hales where burried. Then we went to the monument and then the site of the Smith home. Then we went to the river and then we went to the ward building and had conference. We were in different groups the whole time till we went to the building. It was such a cool place to go to. I loved it and you guys should go there so time. It is really cool. But besides that my week was the same - missionary work all the time. The bishop's son had his farewell this last Sunday. I don't think too much has happened this week for me to write about. We do have one person set with a baptism date which is really cool. His name is Nate Fisher. We should have another person, a girl who is dating the bishop's son (the one that is going on a mission) ready for baptism soon. We have been teaching her and asked her if she wants to get baptized and she said yes, but was not ready to set a date yet. That is about it. I heard from Aunt Sheila. She said the OSU Cowboys are doing pretty good so thats cool. Well, I love you and miss you. Daniel

Well, I can't remember if I told you or not, I'm going to Susquehanna for zone conference this Wednesday. So, that will be really cool and I will take a lot of pictures to send home to you guys. I would like it if you were able to bring Jane (the dog) back from grandma's when mom comes home. I would like to have her. Have you thought about selling the truck and keeping grandma's car for you guys? Where is Derek living right now? Well I also wanted to let you know that another person I was working with in Waynesboro got baptized on Saturday which was really cool. I only wish that I could have been there to see it because on one is more ready to be baptized than her. Well, I hope that I have told you enough stuff that is going on right now. We really aren't working with anyone to special and so I can't tell you much about that. I love you and I miss you and I only have 20 months to go by the way. Elder Wesley

10/18/08 Update
We have been out of town and not able to post an update for a couple of weeks. Here are some items from Daniel's e-mails and letters from the last couple of weeks.
I really liked conference. I can't say which talk was my favorite. I want to read them again first so then I can get more out of it. This first week in Lewisburg was hard; it was hard to get motivated and to meet people all over again. I'm in the Lewisburg Ward and the area is the ward boundaries so you can see that we do have a car. There are only 10 areas in this mission that are bike areas. We are getting a new car this week so I guesss that will be cool. We really aren't working with anyone right now, so we have been looking for people and teaching and seeing who will be the ones the Lord has prepard for the church. Well, the weather is getting cold and not nice, I don't like it. I wish that is was hot outside. I have been trying to think about what I'm going to do when I get home because people like to ask you that. Right now I am not sure. I really don't have much else to say but that I love you and that I miss you. Oh, something cool that will be happening next week is that we are going to the restoration site for zone confference next week so that will be really cool to spend a day there. Elder Daniel Wesley
