Dear Shanell,

Thank you for the goodies! My companion is still Elder Pruett and he is dead against tracting, or any other type of work. I've gotten him out a couple of times, but he's not very cooperative in that way. All he wants to do is listen to music and read his Sports Illustrated. Right now he is listening to "Born in the USA". We aren't supposed to listen to rock music, but he gets sick of me putting in my Mormon Tabernacle Choir tape. It is rather frustrating because I want to teach and baptize people. I hope my next companion likes to work.

The people that said they would come to church didn't come and I am rather curious why. We are going to check up on that, I hope. The blind elder I told you about is now with Elder Todd Herrera. I think you know him. Elder Shawn Crosgrove is going home on Friday, October 25.

Thank you for all your support!

Love,
Elder Wallentine
