Adventures in Indiana: Rain, Chicken Nuggets, and She Bears

Elder Brendan must have gotten my not-so-subtle hints about his e-mail writing abilities. This week I got more than a sentence, and it was even sort-of informational. This kid does rock at sending photos. I got several and even a small video clip of the rain situation currently drowning them in Honey Creek.
Here is his e-mail this week, and a little back and forth between he and I.

this week has been good imma try and write a better email this week i got packages this week so thats sick thank you we have three investigators on date one is named Ronnie hes a great dude he is kind of unaccountable though so thats fun he told us how he used to do cocaine and hes been stabbed also he walked from indy to ohio once anyways hes great hes super funny also i bought a chess board this week ive beat elder eschler 8 times and hes beat me twice so thats dope also its totally been raining for three days straight now like hard rain too is been super cool

More than a sentence! This is improvement, right?

Any of the music I sent working out for you? :/ the last package thing had a super special cd it's the RM soundtrack and it is lame Mormon rock

um so i forgot to mention that when i got out here i bought a flash drive so im good on music that being said it was pretty decent music!! did you get the pics?

Yes! That rain is crazy! What do you guys do when it's that rainy? Are you stuck home? And was that Elder Darrington with you?

yeah thats darrington um we still go out and tract we just get wet

Elder Darrington, Elder Wadley the Drenched

Why in the crap did you fill out that credit card app? What did you get? Something free?

no lets just move past that we weren't thinking it was dumb did you get pictures

Don't you change the subject! Yes I got photos. What did they give you to sign up for that credit card?
You are a disappointment to the whole beehive state. I can't believe you did that!

it was dumb we didnt know it was for credit cards though and eschlers card got used:(

You idiots.

What are you eating these days? Any member dinner appts?
Are you cooking?

weve been mostly cooking chicken nuggets but we have 3 dinners this week also i shared a message on 2nd kings 2:23-24 last week for a dinner message

I need to pause here. When these boys are invited over to a member or a non-member's house for a dinner invitation, they are instructed to share an uplifting spiritual message with the family that is hosting them. This is what he is talking about. This is the message from 2 Kings he chose to share with some unsuspecting family.

23 ¶And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

He said he had another message prepared for a dinner appointment he has scheduled this week. It is in 1 Corinthians 14: 34-35.

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

So here are these kind people in Indiana, who take Elder Wadley into their homes to nourish him physically with food from their table, and share their family time with him and his companion, and in return they are supposed to be fed spiritually?

With this.

Maybe he can just buy them some nice jewelry with his new credit card.
