So this week was pretty cool because not only
did we have transfers, but we were also able to go to the Mesa Temple today! :)
I wasn't able to write to you on Monday since we were planning to go to the
temple today. They decided to change our P-Day to today instead. It was pretty
cool though and it is always a good experience to get to go to the temple with
all of the other missionaries in the zone!
Transfer meeting was really fun because it was once again another FULL MISSION MEETING! So I got to see Elder Forson, Elder Erikson, Elder May, and all of my good friends that I have made as I have been out here on my mission! It is really cool how many new friends you find when you are out here serving the Lord. I enjoy it a lot. But anyways, the results of transfer meeting for me is that I got transferred to Mesa as a Zone Leader. It is a super cool place and I am once again covering 2 different wards that meet in the same building on Sundays! :)
This week we have really been working on
finding the people that are in our area book so that we can kind of get cleaned
up. So far we have been having a lot of good luck coming in contact with some of
the people that we have put in our plans for the days! We have about 8 lessons
set up with people this week and all of them are going to be super fun. I am
really looking forward to getting to know this new area and also the members of
the wards that I am now serving in. I am going to try to make it a goal to get
as close to the members in these two wards, as I did to the people in Ahwatukee!
I feel like those 6 months that I was in Ahwatukee were probably the best 6
months of my mission so far. I loved it!
But, about the baptism.... IT HAPPENED! Even
though Elder Bono and I both got transferred out of the area President Toone
gave us both permission to come back to Tempe to baptize those two kids that we
were teaching! It was a really cool experience and plus to kind of add onto the
whole thing, they made Navajo Tacos for all of us at the end! It was awesome!
And I know that there was something else that happened this last week that I am
forgetting but I cannot seem to remember it at all... Oh wait! Me and my new
companion, Elder Babcock, went over to a recent converts house and she needed
help demolishing some of the walls in her kitchen for when she remodels! So she
finally talked two boys into destroying a wall for fun, even though it really
took some convincing on her part! ;) That was super fun though. I have some
pictures that I will send in this email so that you can see how awesome we look
with hammers and stuff in our hands!
Anyways I love what I am doing and I can’t
wait to still be doing this for another 11 months! It is truly the best work
that I could be doing right now! Oh, but one more thing is that my pants are
still kind of struggling with staying together so IF POSSIBLE I REALLY NEED
SOME PANTS. But if you could just let me know that would be awesome. If I can’t
get some soon then I will try to make them work, 2 pairs of the 3 that I have
are falling apart pretty bad. Thanks for everything! I love you so much and also
make sure to tell Emmett hi from his favorite uncle! (Tell Izzy and Coco hi too
though! :) ) Hope all goes well for all of you this week!
Love!
Elder Brandon Wallentine
P.S We are going to try to go Turtle fishing
today! ;)
