Letter From Kelson - Week # 71 - Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Like a Constipated Weenier Dog!!!

Good Morning From Sunny California!!!
What a beautiful day it is today! WE have overcast clouds and maybe some rain on the Horizon! ;) Oh Wait!
Good Morning From Not Quite So Sunny California!!!
That's better.
This week was so exciting that I think I will just start at the point where things went crazy! It started going crazy about Thursday. We had Zone Conference this past week and it was my first time getting to sit up on the stand behind the Mission President as I waited to report on how our Zone is doing. We got to report that this month we had 6 people enter into the waters of baptism and we had 5 more on their way...It was really cool because the other Zones had similar situations and the Mission President was happy to hear of our success. I have been at some Zone Conferences where no one is hitting their goals and that's when the Lecture comes; not because we are bad missionaries, but it is to make sure we are held accountable for our goals. If we aren't held accountable then we will be okay with not hitting them all the time and it hinders our growth. 

Anyway, in our mission we have this thing called the High Water Mark, I think I talked about it a couple of transfers ago when I was in South Sac. Well the High Water Mark in the Sacramento Zone was 10. And if you can do some math real quick you will see that 6+5=11...hum I wonder what that means??? Oh I know!, It means that we baptized more people in 1 month than ever before...YAY!!!! It was an amazing blessing from the Lord to be able to be part of this great achievement. These missionaries have been working hard and have put forth their hard efforts to go out and spread the Gospel and we can see the fruits of their labors being made evident. This was the greatest time to be part of this Zone and I am glad that I was able to help this happen. But it almost didn't happen and let me tell you why...(Story Time...YES!!!)

Now look up at the Title, now back to the words, and back up at the title and then back at the words...SADLY the title gives away the scene of the story, but that doesn't matter I will tell it anyway...hehe (Old Spice Reference)
Now do you remember the old Batman and Robin movies (I am talk way old)...Well I don't I am not that young, but I want to tell you how one of them could have gone down, and how it totally could have been as funny as releasing a box of starving crazed weasels onto someones face.  (Its funny at first, but it hurts later) Anyway now that I am done introducing the story and stalling with enough time to think of where I want to go with this, I will start to type. This story is about Batman and his trusty sidekick Robin. These two superheroes had everything going for them on this one weekend in which they are had planned out how they would foil the Joker's plan, save the damsel, keep Gotham safe and make sure to be home in time for dinner. Now the reason Batman and Robin could plan like this is because they were just totally awesome back then, plus they have already seen how sinister the Joker could be so they anticipated his diabolical scheme and then made preparations for his soon quick trip to Arkham Asylum once again. Today was going to be a good day for Batman and Robin, but then Joker and his Diabolical scheme decided that he was going to be even more diabolical than the times before...Dirt Bag... Joker decided that this time he was going to be so evil that he was going to plan something good... Oh man, that guy is evil. He wanted to take his family out for a camping trip and show them how to enjoy the great outdoors...Who is this guy? He really has been making life for Batman and Robin difficult.  Now you might ask, why is this so evil? well, I will tell you. When Batman and Robin are not out saving the world, they are actually Elder Wayne and Elder Grayson, and they had been teaching the Gospel to one of Joker's Daughters (trying to stop his evil from inside his home ).  His daughter loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so much so that she wanted to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints. Everything was set up that she was to be baptized on the 31st of August 2013 at 7pm. Well Joker so happened to plan his family camping trip on that weekend...Now you know why he is a Dirt bag.  Our heroes received a panicked phone call from the young lady and she starts to tell them that she is unable to be baptized on that day...it just so happened that this phone call was made at about 5pm on Saturday the 31st...even more diabolical, Man that guy needs to stop being so evil. Well, Batman and Robin spring into action. 100 phone calls and about 5 gallons of sweat molded bullets later she was found a ride and the baptism would go on. They found a way for her to get baptized and then be taken to the camping location to spend the rest of the weekend with her lovely dad and mom. Once the baptism started they found out that Joker had had a change of heart and would not be leaving until the morning...ooooooo that guy is evil. Oh man, I guess it helps to keep the heroes on their toes. In the end, she was baptized, and it was awesome. There was Much Rejoicing, and Joker was spared his trip to Arkham Asylum. 
* No animals or people were harmed in the making of this story*
That is one crazy weekend huh? I guess next time we will make sure to have everything absolutely perfect so that even Joker can't foil it. ;) The girl who got baptized has a very nice family, they are not anything like the Joker, I just used it as an allusion to make it seem interesting. I have learned this day though that when you approach something good for you, like coming closer to Jesus Christ, Satan will do everything in his power to draw you away. Because once he has lost you he has no one to be miserable with. I love each and every one of you and I hope that you enjoyed my story/awesome comic that will be published one day.
Love ya,
Elder Wheeler
P.s. Mom!!! I know you are having so much fun doing mom stuff and making the house beautiful, but when you get the chance please correct my Grammatical, spelling, and non-real-word errors...
P.p.s Sorry I tried to be fancy... TYPOS!!!!

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...
