Have you navigated to the endpoint WSDL service address in a browser yet? Often many services will have help documentation and samples automatically generated that you can view online as part of the SOAP platform. Example, try: http://terraservice.net/TerraService.asmx then click on one of the functions (operations), to get something like this: http://terraservice.net/TerraService.asmx?op=GetPlaceList As well, there are many WSDL converter tools that translate the WSDL data into send and receive xml samples for you. http://www.xmlspy.com/ is an XML editor that has such a utility built in. Hope that helps.
