Letter From Kelson - Week #49 - Can I get a HOORAH!!!


Good Morning From Sunny California!!!!
 
Why hello and welcome to the next installment of the Price is Right! I am your host Elder Wheeler and I will be just giving away free copies of the Book of Mormon to anyone who reads this e-mail. If you already have one I am sorry, but we do not give out extras...unless you are going to give it to a friend, then by all means take as many as you would like. Now, once you stop scratching your heads about why I said the Price is Right, I will then inform you of said reason....
 
...
...
Done yet? Ok I will tell you anyway, The Price for Salvation is Right...ehhh Did I get ya?!?! I thought it would be appropriate because we just celebrated Easter!!! Wahoo!! We have been officially saved from Eternal Death and Hell, if we accept the Gospel and follow the Commandments of God, for absolutely nothing! Salvation is free because of the sacrifice performed so many years ago. I am so happy to be able to celebrate this, because this is the business in which I am dealing. Elder Wheeler Dealer is dealing in Salvation! And have I got a story for you.
 
There was this lady who was not looking for the truth at all...or was she??? Dun Dun Dunnnnn. Sorry, anyway she didn't know she was searching, and she continued on with her life and went to work, took care of her kids, watched movies, paid bills, the works. We will name her Sarah (To protect the names of the people I have changed them...somewhat). There was this really outgoing missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and he wanted to baptize the world. This missionary is Elder Seagate, he has only been out on his mission for a little over 7 months and he is super stoked to keep baptizing. Elder Seagate's companion was Elder Slidebelt, these two great missionaries did what they felt would provide the most pleasing outcome for missionary work, and they asked a member family for referrals. This member family told them to go see Sarah, they said she was a great lady and she has a big heart and they just feel like she should be a member of the church. Those two elders went and saw her and she totally denied them...like Hardcore denied... These missionaries were sad, but they didn't give up, they kept working and didn't surrender. Well, Elder Slidebelt went home, for he had finished his mission and Elder Seagate received a brand new companion, Elder Paintshop. On Elder Paintshop's first Sunday, Sarah came to church, because the aforementioned family invited her to come to church. These two excited and outgoing, somewhat, missionaries were going to talk to her at church, but she left before they could get the chance...Not of their fault, just that fact that they can't go anywhere without saying hello and mingling...those dumb social butterflies. These two elders decided to stop by that evening and see what Sarah thought of the lesson. As they talked, Elder Paintshop began to speak through the Spirit and talk to what she needed to hear. After a long night of excitement and many different talks about her life, Sarah said "I want to meet with you guys again."  Thus, the snowball started rolling down the hill of the mountain and Sarah ate up the Gospel, she overcame Satan and as she got close to the end of the Hill, there was a ramp strategically placed. This ramp was meant to throw her off course because that is how Satan works, but the Elders where really good at what they do and they moved a pool of water underneath her landing site and baptized her right on the spot. She has now received the Holy Ghost and will forever be known as an enemy to Satan because she knows who he is and that he is full of Crap. Wahoo!!! Go Elders Go!
 
Please take a moment of silence for all those who have died in the last 10 minutes as you have read this. Unfortunately, Elder Paintshop was unable to baptize them before they died so they are now in the hands of the missionaries on the other side.
 
Just so you know Sarah is not her real name, but the missionaries are Elder Hale and some ridiculously good looking, forward, and spunky kid who loves to play DDR.  (Paintshop and Seagate respectively)
 
We were blessed with being able to see one of the Lord's children enter in by the way and find their way to salvation. I love this work. I could not see myself doing anything else other than having a blast while learning about other people, and helping them better their lives through Jesus Christ!!! I am so pumped for General Conference this Weekend and I expect all who read this to try and watch it. You think I am fun to listen to, try those guys. They are actually inspired...haha
 
CAN I GET A HOORAH!!!!!
 
Love ya all and hope to hear of great and wonderful miracles happening in your lives!!?!?!?!

Elder Wheeler
 
P.s. MOTHER PLEASE HELP ME!!! I HAVE WRITTEN SOMETHING AND I CAN'T EDIT FOR MYSELF...haha

Good Morning From Sunny California!!!!   I will start off with the most important thing up to this point. It has been brought to my attention that my Mission President wants us to Vote in this election so I need the world to petition my mother to send me an Absentee Ballot so that I may vote for whomever is not OBAMA!!! HAHA   Now to our success... We have had an amazing week!!! We went from a week of almost lesson draught to a week of overflowing milk and honey. We taught 17 lessons this week and we have a pre-me firm, which means that this investigator is ready for baptism, but we need to have them come to church and teach 2 more lessons, but it also means that they have accepted the call to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized.  We are super excited and on top of that they are also going on a Temple Tour with us Saturday...SAWEET!!! The area here is booming, and I know that it is because I have so many people back home praying for the success of this missionary, but someth

Letter From Kelson - Week # 97 - A-....Oooo Shiny,D-......Squirrel!!, D

Good Morning From Sunny California!!!   Have I told you that I may suffer from a minor case of the life destroying, grade killing, maybe even friendship ending addiction that brings many heart aches and pains to the life of those affected by it called...   ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER!!!!!!!!  or ....   This past week was pretty good, we were able to see the baptism of a one Melissa G., who is pretty freakin' sweet if you ask everyone in the world. I don't know if she would approve of me saying this, but I want to congratulate her on her baptism and handling that baptismal font water LIKE A BOSS!!! She has a little fear of being pushed/submerged under water by other people and with baptism that is a very necessary requirement, being completely submerged in the water by someone holding the authority from God to do so. She sucked it up, she said "I am doing this thing! LEEEERRRROOOOOYYYYYY JEEENNNNKKKIIINSSS!!!" (all in her mind of course) and she went down i

Letter From Rhys - Week #2 - Nothing's Better Than Workouts and Shopping

Que lo que from the tropical island of the Rupublica Dominicana! Week 2 is now down, though according to the CCM we’re at the end of week 3.  Makes perfect sense right?   Some interesting events have come to pass this past week.  Starting on Sunday, my district got together after sacrament  meeting to discuss our weekly goals. These are the goals we set:  1.         Memorize Moroni 10:4-5 in Spanish by Tuesday.  {Accomplished a day late} 2.         Work on the Christ-like attribute of diligence.  {It's difficult but it’s coming along. My habit of laziness has taken its toll on me on a couple occasions.} This next one is kind of ridiculous, but requires some explaining before we continue…  At the beginning of week one the CCM President gave us a short lesson on our titles as missionaries and representatives of Christ.  One of the many things he went over was the title of Elder in which we are assigned. He stated that "Elder" is a title given to us by t
