Hello Everyone!!!
Hey, so Thanksgiving was awesome this year, although it was a little bit hard
being away from all of the family and friends back home. I thought it would be a
lot harder and that I would feel homesick, but it was really good for me. We were able to go over to some members houses for dinner and they did
a really good job at making me feel right at home. One of the people that we
baptized--a mother and a daughter--had us over for dinner. The 10 year
old daughter always tells us she looks to me and my companion as if we were her
older brothers! It was so cool! We also went over to the first counselor's house
for dinner, and they fed us very well, too! We had ham, turkey, stuffing,
potatoes, pie, cheesecake, and sweat potatoes! :) I did miss your famous sweet
potato stuff though because that is my absolute favorite!!! But it
was awesome!
The interview with the Ipads was really cool and interesting. We went
in and did an assessment on how well it is working and the
things that they should change to be able to make them work a little bit better
in missionary work. So far I love the Ipads because it is a lot easier to be
able to stay organized and then we don't have to bike all the way over to the
library every day to be able to get on Facebook. Facebook is working really well
for me even though some days it is a little bit slower, but I have been teaching
some people online and it is really good for me to be able to have the
opportunity to not only share with people that I talk to here, but also to the
whole entire world!!! I am so happy about that!
Other than that it has been a pretty good week we went over to a lot of
members houses and really got to know them all a little bit better! As we did
that we could see miracles happening and more people began to talk to us and were interested in what we have to say. It is amazing how things happen even in
the ways that you would least expect it.
So transfer calls were last night, and I am being transferred out to a new
area and training a missionary who has been out for 1
transfer so far! It will be super fun and I am super excited, although I will
miss all of the people that are here in the ward in Maryvale. This ward has been
super good to me and I am super happy that I was able to meet so many new
friends in the ward that I would have never met if I wasn't here for
this time!!! That is kind of weird to think about how different it could have
been if I would have been 19 out here in the field. hahaha
Well, I look forward to hearing from you guys soon and hopefully the package
makes it to me okay! I told dad in his email like everything that i need for
Christmas! Sweaters, Ties, my Nike socks from back home, and really anything you
guys want to send me!!! Other than that, I told him that my shoes are really
HOLE-EE now! :) hahaha Thank you so much for all that you guys do to help me out
and I am so glad that you guys had a good Thanksgiving! I love you all
tons!!!
Adios!!!
Love,
Elder Wallentine
