Hello Everyone,
I got to baptize my first person this last week on Friday and that was awesome! She has been super happy and excited for that day for the past month. So, it was fun to be able to see her enter into the waters of baptism! Our goal for a zone this month is to get 20 baptisms, so make sure you keep us in your prayers!!!
This week has been especially hard for me because I was getting a little bit
homesick thinking of how we usually are watching conference with those fun games and eating our coffee cake in the morning. We have all of those
traditions so it was super tough and weird when, as missionaries, we didn't do all
of that stuff. We went to the stake center and watched conference there.
Earlier this week I got kinda angry at this guy we met on
the street. He was bugging me and my companion about living the law of
chastity and was telling us that we don't know anything. We started to explain to him that it is our own choice and that it is the way it is supposed to be done, but he would not
listen. So, it started to get a little bit heated and I said, "Okay, we are
leaving!" I grabbed my bike and the guy said to me "You can't just leave
like that!" So I started to leave and then he said something else to me that I cannot remember. I stopped right there and put my kickstand back
down and just wanted to hit the guy. My companion said, "Hey, lets go" so we did. That was a super bad morning for me. However, we didn't let it
make us down for the day.
We came to the library and worked on Facebook for an hour and then we had some lessons set up. All of our lessons
fell through, but we found two other people, and we had a lesson with them. We had
never met them before, but we set them to a baptism date for the 26th and they
accepted. That was a super cool experience for me to be able to see how fast
things can happen. The first part of the day was super hard but the Lord will
bless you as long as you are doing what you are supposed to be doing!
In conference something that really stood out to me is enduring to the end.
Super powerful because we know that no matter what we do we can be forgiven by God. But, we have to go through the repentance process and continue doing what is
right.
My companion's bike got stolen a week ago right in front of us and then yesterday we found out that it is super easy to break into our
house through the back door because I forgot my key for lunch and we had to
break in using a bike pump! hahaha super funny!!!!
Well, that is about all that I have for this week!
Love,
Elder Wallentine
