Hello!!
Thank you so much for doing that for me and getting the whole clothing
thing taken care of! I have only gained like 10 lbs so far on my
mission which I am super surprised about since everybody told me that I would be
getting super fat on my mission. But as for me and my companions, we are getting
BUFF/Serve the Lord! :)
This week was a super crazy week to be a ZL because first of all that
whole training thing in front of the General Authority and 5 other zones was a
little bit nerve racking! But luckily we ended up not having to train because
they had a little bit of a change of plans when we got together that day! It was
awesome! It was really cool though because we had a Mission
Leadership Counsel on Wednesday and Elder Schweitzer from the Seventy talked a lot
about the tools that the church has given us to become better and more effective
missionaries, and he said no matter what happens they will not be taken away
because of how much it is helping the work move forward! It was pretty cool! But
then they also talked a lot about marriage which was kind of weird. He talked a
lot about when we get married, even if your wife is WRONG she is RIGHT! Which I
already knew because we hear that all of the time. But something really cool
that he said is that our mission really does train us for marriage because if we
can get along with our companions, then we will most likely be able to get along
with our ETERNAL COMPANION! :) So far I think that I am doing a really good job
with that, but I am going to really try to become a PRO at it by the time
my mission is done! IT WAS AN AWESOME TRAINING! Oh, and on Thursday we had
a mission tour where Elder Schweitzer talked to the whole mission, and he talked
a lot about the same thing. But it was super cool! THAT WAS MY LAST MISSION TOUR
ON MY MISSION! It is so weird to say that!
Other than that we are really working on finding new people to teach
right now because our teaching pool is struggling right now. We are trying to
get the members involved but it just doesn't seem to be going as smoothly as
we expected it. Oh well though! We are going to keep on trying different things
and I know that something will be able to work! I have also been working with a
couple that was in Jason's mission in Phili! Ask him if he remembers Elder Bryce
Esplin. Him and his wife are both members of the ward that I am serving in right
now and we have gone over there a lot since I have been here. They are super
cool people and told them that I would tell Jason hi for them! It was really
cool to find that out! :)
I love you guys like crazy
and don't know what I would ever do without such a supportive family. I have
seen so many families get torn apart on my mission so far and I never want any
of that for my family! It is so good for me to be able to see this while I am
still young so that I know what not to do! Love you!
Love,
Elder Wallentine
