I'm sorry it's Wednesday again and I'm writing you all. We have a surprise meeting tomorrow, and p-day got changed again. Things are going great here, and we have had some really great experiences.
One that was really funny was last week we found ELEVEN new people to teach, and in one day ten of them cancelled, and one disappeared. We tracted a lot after that. We were out tracting, and it was towards the end of a long day. We had just been yelled at by a very angry man from another church, and he was not happy with the whole "modern revelation" thing. He wouldn't even pray with us because "Jesus said not to associate with devils." We left and tracted for most of the remaining night. Then we met a VERY interesting person. A man came to the door dressed like a woman with long hair, about 6'6" tall; 'her' frame filled the door, and it was clear their voice had been unnaturally altered. We asked to share the gospel with 'her', but she refused, and said she "was a very happy man...woman." We said goodbye, and we left.
After that, we had an appointment with a couple we've been teaching for a while. They held their appointment, and they are very excited to be baptized on the 7th of December! After they are, their son, who lives in the same home, will follow shortly thereafter. Missionary work is full of trials, but they are only for the purpose of "tasting the bitter, so we could taste the sweet." I don't know if anything on earth can compare to the experiences you have doing missionary work. I know this church is true. If it wasn't, the great joy as well as the intense trials we experience wouldn't even come our way. Missionary work would be...blah. I'm glad we get to see the contrast. I love you guys! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Wallentine
