Hey guys,

Pretty much, the last week has been a circus around here, too. You said I could tell you the stories after they happened, right?  It's interesting, because the neighborhoods are a little dangerous lately, but we are calm through the whole thing. I just realized that if I were a tourist, I'd be terrified to walk in some of the places we go. But with the badge on, the mantle of a missionary is definitely one of divine protection. This past week, a car got bombed two doors down, and it was pretty crazy. It was pretty burned up when we walked by it on our way to get our groceries. The spirit of God is something that causes a great deal of comfort to come over you, even in some of the most distressing times. I know it's very real, and I've come to rely on it so much, I don't know how I'd get along without it.

Transfer calls came in, and I will be moving to North Philadelphia again. But there's a catch; God must want to see how I do learning Spanish. I'll be serving in the North Philadelphia Spanish branch, so that will be a change of pace. I don't get to learn the language first at all, so I'll be thrown into it headfirst, and I guess I'll have to learn pretty quick!
 
My companion will have been out for a while, so I'm pretty excited for all that I can learn from him.
I hope everything is okay in Belgium, sounds like it was a trip trying to get settled in. Did you get all your luggage and stuff yet? Just wondering. I have some pretty cool pictures here.

I just want to thank you all for your support and your help. It's been so great to hear from you, and just so you know, I got the letters and everything. Thanks a lot for sending them! I know this church is true, and we are working with some very cool people here. Just keep us in your prayers, and pray that the Spanish clicks fast. We'll see how that goes.

I love you guys, you're all great, thanks so much for all you do! Keep me posted on how everything goes with the big move! Don't stress out either, I know it will all work out! It always does!

Love,
Elder Wallentine
