Hi Shanell,

I wanted to let you know about a meeting we had this morning. We had a super neat teacher and I have never felt the Spirit burning within me so much in my whole life.  Our teacher talked about the 3rd and 4th part of the 1st discussion. It is about the birth and crucifixion of Christ. He went into depth on it and I could almost imagine what pain he went through for us to repent. I really almost started crying. I have already grown close to the Lord and I love the great Spirit that is here.

I have passed off all of the 6 concepts in the 2nd discussion. Something has happened with about 2 or 3 guys in my district. My companion and 2 other guys are not showing the love to the other elders that they should. The Spirit isn't as strong when there is a spirit of contention here. I'm going to try to talk to them so that we can have the Spirit here strong again. I still do love the Lord and this great work!

I want you to know that I have a great testimony of Jesus Christ and this great church. I have already grown spiritually about 100 times. I feel the Spirit of the Lord here so strong. I love the scriptures and they will always be a special part of my life. Thank you for your great support.

Love,
Elder Wallentine
