I'm trying to disable flyspell-mode and whitespace-mode without changing the emacs-prelude files. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I have tried setting the following options in my `personal/settings.el`:

```
(flyspell-mode -1)
(flyspell-mode 0)
(flyspell-mode nil)
```
and
```
(global-whitespace-mode -1)
(global-whitespace-mode 0)
(global-whitespace-mode nil)
```

None of these have any effect. I'd rather not touch the files in `modules/` so as to be able to update the emacs-prelude package without messing around with any branches. I thought that as the last things to be loaded in the init.el file were the contents of the `persona/` folder, that my settings would override the others, but it seems that is not he case.

Thanks for the help.
