Dear Shanell,

It has been about 6 months wince anyone has taught a family in this area and we are doing it now! The family's name is the Tamarapa family. They are islanders from New Zealand. They are a super family! I am looking forward to to Friday when we teach them again!

Instead of giving out Book of Mormons, we have been asked to sell them. They cost $2.30 each and I can't afford it like many others. We have been asking the members in this ward to help, but they aren't helping much at all. I am going to write to my home ward to see if they could donate enough for a case of Book of Mormons. It is really sad to see the members not doing their best. The bishop is really hesitant to give us money to buy Book of Mormons and I wish he would talk to the members more.

I wish I could have seen President Kimball's funeral. I loved that prophet so much. He went through so much. President Benson will do super, too. I know he is a prophet called of God!

Today is p-day and I just cleaned and rearranged our bedroom. Elder Ottley is still having problems. At members' homes, he asks them their names about 4 times. His memory is terrible.

I appreciate your support and encouragement!

Love,
Elder Wallentine
