Hello Everyone!
So the belt we got is super lame because I picked it up and the whole metal part
of it where it latches together just fell completely off. Super lame so then I just duct taped it together temporarily. So, it will work for a few weeks.
This week was kind of crazy for me and my companion. We went out and
visited a lot of members this week along with investigators and were able to get
to know people a lot better! Also, the guy that was going to be baptized on the
26th of this month told us after a while of teaching him that he would be more
comfortable with the Spanish missionaries in the Spanish Ward. Not a big deal as
long as he is still being taught! We decided to go out on Thursday night and
visit one of the young men in the ward and talk to his family for a little while
and then we went out proselyting in the apartment complexes that he lives in.
Super fun and kinda scary, but it was a cool experience getting to know him a
little bit better and just talking to the people around there.
Something else kinda funny happened this week as well. Just yesterday we
went to church and then went over to a member's house for dinner and a
lesson afterwards. The dinner was super good and then the
family and their friends and some others in the ward came there as well. It is a
BLAST! Last night when we went there we had an awesome time and my trainer
taught most of the lesson with a few comments from others and it was super good.
I had a headache through it because I don't know if I had drank enough water
throughout the day. But on the way home something funny/super lame happened. All
four of us missionaries were biking down the road on the way home and this car
drove by and threw something at us. I couldn't tell what it was and it kinda
looked like an ice ball. We didn't really think anything of it. But, I didn't realize the care made a U-turn and came back and threw the same thing again. This
time, shortly after they threw it, I found out what it was. They were throwing
EGGS at us from the car window. The egg went flying from the car and hit me
straight in the missionary tag and also got all over in my planner and on my
white shirt. Good thing that was the last day that I was using that planner. But
it just showed me how dumb people can sometimes be. I was pretty ticked, probably because of my headache and now being covered in egg. We
are all able to laugh at it now. Good thing!
I am so happy that I decided to come out here on a mission even though there
are quite a few times that I really just want to go and get a ticket and fly
back home. It is hard out here but I figure that it will be worth it when it is
all over. Oh, and the hardest part is the money. When I heard we get $115 a month
to live on, I thought it would be easy and that I would be able to do it
no problem. Today we went shopping right before we got on email and I only had
$4 in my mission account. So I had to use my personal funds and I only bought
eggs, milk, bananas, and strawberries. But that pasta will start to do me good
here soon!
Make sure you all keep me informed about what is happening
back home! I love you all tons and
look forward to hearing back from you!
Love,
Elder Wallentine
