Mormon Missionaries

Jerry Wonder is the hero of this hilarious coming-of-age novel. A 19-year-old Mormon missionary, Jerry leaves South Dakota to save souls in New Zealand for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Elder Wonder's path is fraught with challenge. He misses his girlfriend, Susan, who tried valiantly to seduce him before he left, but to his regret, he remained strong for both of them. Now, he worries he will lose her in his two-year absence. And he is flawed.

In 1938 a young man from a small town in Northeastern Utah was called to be a missionary for the Mormon Church. More than willing to share the Gospel with those desiring to learn the truth, Don Jones accepted the call to go and preach the words of Jesus Christ to the people of Wyoming. As often happens in life, tragedy is never far away, and there comes a time for others, for brothers, to finish the work that cannot be completed here on earth. That task would fall to Nathan Jones, Don's older brother.
