Dear Shanell,

I'm receiving letters quite regularly now that the strike is over. I'm not sure if I told you, but we got our 30 hours tracting and gave away 16 Books of Mormon. That was the best in the mission! President Wells was very pleased!

My companion, Elder Ballew, and I are getting along great now. He doesn't like this area though. I love it! Sometimes I think there is nothing interesting happening here and then when I go to write it down, it seems a lot more interesting.

You are a great strength to me. Thank you for your support!

Elder Wallentine
