Quick e-mail tonight... Hope it's enough. I just wasted our
whole day cleaning because this apt was filthy! I think the mission prez is
gonna send me to every dirty place just so that I can clean it. Elders are
nasty, man. It's like none of em had mothers teach em anything! haha. My momma
taught me right :)
So as you know, i'm in Lonoke! It's a small town again but
it is a very great place for missionary work. This last week we had 25 lessons!
We've met a lot of cool people. A lot of potential. It's gonna take a lot of
work though. Skeeters (mosquitoes), heat, humidity. That's Lonoke. I changed my shirt and
socks 3 times one day! But it was worth it because we saw so many.
I'm follow-up training. This Elder's name is Elder Cassler
from Orem. He's gonna be a great missionary. He's got a lot to learn but he
learns quick and is open to learning. We're getting along great!
We met a guy named H.... He's been researchin the church
since '92 and believe all we believe. We had a discussion with him about the
Plan of Salvation and he got super excited about the pre-mortal existence. We
showed him Rev. 12 about the war in heaven and he was so interested that he had
us walk with him over to his friend's house who was currently studying
Revelations. I thought, "Crap... this person is gonna know more than me
and say something that would turn Harrell away." But you wouldn't believe
it! We knew more, due to the Holy Ghost filling my mind and mouth. We were able
to teach them and they thought it was very interesting. They never were taught
what we taught them... and it was all out of the bible! btw did I tell you how
cool the bible is? EVERYTHING we believe is in there! It boggles my mind why
folks don't see that-- even if we show it to them. It's sad actually. The devil
has such a grasp on them. Even more sad, he knows this is the true church
and he wants to join and go to the temple cause he understands it all but,
"he doesn't want to give up this vices," (cigarettes). I don't even
get it. ridiculous. haha. But we're gonna work with him.
Well i'm gonna hop off cause Elder Cassler needs to e-mail
his fam.
Stoked to be here!
Love you more!
-Elder Wheatley
