Yeah,

Things have been pretty good here lately. I loved the package you guys sent me. We really enjoyed the waffles, cookies, and the chocolates! Thank you all so much! The cards and the letters were so great! It really made everything fantastic!

My birthday was on a zone conference, so they brought me and a couple other missionaries up front, and sang to us. It was cool, and we got a bag full of shaving cream a razor, a toothbrush, and a load of candy. It was pretty cool. I got a really great package from Wendy and Kenny too, full of brownies and hot cocoa. It was really good!

We had a baptism lined up for this Sunday, but ghetto drama is pretty intense. She got kicked out of her home the Saturday before, and now lives in Mt. Airy, about ten miles north. We got the cops called on us when we went looking for her, so that was a bummer. But, God will provide a way for us to meet with her again. We're going back on Tuesday.

Other than that, things are going very well. I got the letters from Grandma and Grandpa Decker and Wallentine, and they were both so great. I'm going to take care of the passport information this next week, so that will be taken care of.

Thank you guys so much, keep us in your prayers! I love you all, and I hope everything goes well! Tell dad to have fun in China! We are probably going to go see the Liberty Bell, and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier today. It'll be pretty cool! Have a great week!

Love,
Elder Wallentine
