Hello everybody!!!
After the egg thing that happened to me everything this week seemed pretty
simple and I was able to have a pretty good outlook on things. Sure it gets
brought up just about everywhere we go now. . . that I am the one that got hit by the
egg, but it is super funny that it happened to me. Everything always
seems to happen to me out here rather than the other missionaries! We were talking to the zone leaders last week and told them
about all of the things that have happened to us and they said, "Why does
everything always happen to Elder Wallentine!" It was really funny!
This week though was super amazing. Something that really stuck out to me
was what happened on the street when we were on our way out to a less active
member's house. There was this homeless man on the street so we stopped and
talked to him for a while. We started trying to share a short message with him
and then he began to tell us what he believed. He told his who he thought Jesus Christ was. . . which was very far off. So, long story short he
started to walk across the street and yelled, "I hope you know that you are paving your way to h###!" It was a big eye opener
for me to know that some people think so much differently than us and it is just
sad the way they express it to us. But, oh well. That is why I am here-- to
find those who need help and help them!!!
I just want you guys to know that no matter what I am going to stay out for
my entire 2 years and I have no plans on coming home early or anything no matter
how hard or uncomfortable it may get while I'm out here! Like you said, I never
quit anything yet. I stuck with football the entire 4 years and I don't plan on
quitting for little things that happen in the next 2 years!
I am super happy that you have all been keeping me up to date on everything
that has been happening back home and with Coco and Izzy! It is so cool to hear
how everything is going back home so that I know that everything is good! It is strengthening to me when I get letters from you guys and know everybody is
safe!!!
Oh, so last week playing basketball I landed weird on my toe and dislocated
it. But I just walked off to the side really fast, popped it back into place, and
then continued to play. I went to the doctor because the next 2 days it was
super swollen and it was purple. It isn't broken or anything like the
doctor thought that it was but the joint is not feeling all that good when I bend it. I cant even bend it all the way anymore. So that's a bummer.
Well, thanks for writing to me and I am
super excited to hear back next week!!!
Love,
Elder Wallentine
That's funny you guys went to Disney World. So, at dinner last night I cut the
onions and made them in the shape of Mickey Mouse!!!
