Letter From Kelson - Week # 66 Part 2 - Imagination LAND!!! You are too Slow!!! I needed the Response NOW!!!

Good Morning from Sunny California!!!
 
YOU ARE ALL FIRED!!! I NEEDED A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT TO WRITE AND YOU ALL BLEW IT!!! GOSH, YOU CAN'T FIND ANY CREATIVITY IN THIS WORLD TODAY ANYMORE. DUMB SCHOOL SYSTEMS AND THEIR BUDGET CUTS!!!
 
This week was pretty awesome! We had a couple of days there where I felt like I would just fill my brain with silly string and then play with helium all day, but I didn't.  You are probably wondering why I would do both of those things, but after a few days of spending  6 hours in the hot sun, riding on a bike from appointment to appointment, only to find out that everyone really meant to cancel on you and your goals are going down the toilet, just like the brown winning the Super Bowl, It kind of makes you wonder what is up with this world today. However, there was some deliverance. never doubt God, he always answers the prayers of his children. Even if they are a little whinny and need a diaper change because they are acting like a toddler being potty trained.
 
Anyway, So this week we had a bit of a struggle to hit some goals, but there is this guy, you see, who is totally solid. Like, I meant this guy is like Superman's chest meets Chuck Norris' Thunder thighs mixed with a vat of beef Stroganoff exploding! That is way solid!!! His name is Arturo and he was an atheist but 4 weeks ago. When we first started talking to him, he just started off by telling us that he wasn't interested because he had already talked with a lot of preacher people, between Baptists and JW's and everyone else that wants his attention. He just was telling us to not waste our breath. So we didn't waste our breath, we placed great questions into our conversation and he said that he liked us so he said we could come back...Well he missed his follow up appointment and then we were afraid that this was not going to work out. A week later we stopped by and he said that he lost our number and that he meant to call us. Some people just say that, but this guy was for Cereal! He even read the pamphlet we gave him and then he started asking us questions about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We started talking to him and made more appointments, he kept them and his family started to become interested because he has been an atheist for so long that he just was making a huge change.  He came to church yesterday and he told us that he wants to be part of this church. He wants to have the joy that comes from what he is feeling to be with him always and he said he was definitely coming back next week, but next time with his whole family. We then asked him if he would be baptized. He said that he would, and has the date for baptism set for the 24th of August!!! This is Awesome! Elder Badger and I have been working super hard to build up this area and now we are seeing the success from our labors!! No matter how bleak it looks there is always something brighter on the horizon. 

I have learned to not be frustrated with God. Frustration comes from unmet expectations, and He has always Exceeded mine. So, in essence, I can't be frustrated with him...guess I have to figure out how to be patient and happy at the same time.
 
Enjoy this letter, and I know that my mother is freaking out right now about the fact that there are two letters. hehe that is what I do...
 
Love ya,
Elder Wheeler
 
P.s. MOM TYPOS AGAIN!!! you know I really love you...hehe but I need to give you a hard time.

Letter from Kelson - Week # 72 - Time is Money, and I'm Broke!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!! I must apologize in advance for the length of this letter, it seems that their ain't no rest for the wicked...and that means no rest for those trying to help the wicked either. Anyway, I am pretty wicked myself, so no self indulged pride there, just making a statement on how little time I have to write this P-Day. We have been going Mach 5 with our hair on fire since 630 this morning, last week...I think that works. It has been crazy, the weeks are blending together, my companion and I are always trying to help out the missionaries in our Zone, and we are striving to be the best Leaders possible, while helping them to aspire to be better missionaries themselves. We also are trying to see success in our own area. There is quite a lot on my plate, and I am wondering what thanksgiving is going to look like...With this much food and I am only in September. I have some super news! Arturo, the super awesome guy from Stockton that got baptiz...

Letter from Kelson #9 - I am still alive and Kicking!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!! CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!!!....(PLEASE PROCEED TO SHOUT OUT LOUD "AMEN", THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING). This past week was super awesome, but also challenging beyond belief. This past week was the last week of the transfer and things were going crazy. We started of the week with a full white board of people to tech and bring the Gospel to, and by Friday we had maybe 2 people left. Everyone just started dropping like flies!!! We were unable to make contact with any of them, we had people tell us that they will not be continuing to learn from us, and we also had people ignore us when we stopped by... A bit of discouragement was really hitting us hard this week. We were struggling all week to try and fill our days with things to do and people to teach. I think we went Tracting (Door knocking) for an hour or two just to see what we could find. But alas we were unsuccessful in making these things come to pass. Sorry if I just made everyone who r...
