Hello everyone,

I am sure you all haven’t got the news yet but I am getting moved to Boling Green Kentucky, so if you have letters to send them to:
Elder Wall
105 Westpark Dr. suite 190
Brentwood TN, 37027
And they will make sure I get them.

I am however sad to be living we will be having a baptismal service for some one who has investigated the church for like 4 years so I will be sad to miss that but I am excited to see what I can do in Boling Green. I don’t have much time talk to you all later

Dear Family,

So the past few weeks have been hard with President Lords going home and all but I am also excited to see what the new President will bring to the mission. The other day we had are mission Temple day it was grate to go and rest from mission work. The work hear in Lebanon is really starting to grow and I am sad because I think I will be leaving on the 16th of June and will be going to a new area soon so around that time send letters to the office and they will send them to me. I also will be getting a new comp. so I hope he is not as dramatic as this one I should be sending some pics. Home soon so that you all can see what I mean. When you all leave for your trip make sure that you are telling every one to write me it has been some time form when I got letters. But that is ok but e-mails would be nice. Take lots of pics. Of family when you are out there and of the parks that you go thought. Well I had better go talk to you all soon.

Love,
Elder Wall

Hey,
How is every thing going I hope it is going well, not too much new here, it's the same old stuff. We have been working with a part member family and we now have two dates for baptisms, and we are hopping to be setting another one but the 21st so that will be 3 with a date and that will be grate. Last Sat. we had 115 dates in the mission which is the record for the mission. Right now I am doing grate but I am always tired and there really isn't any thing we can do about it. But I will be looking forward to I can get it looked at.  This past week I had my first opportunity to drive on the mission so that was nice because just about all of my companions or cars that I have been in that other missionary's were driving have come close to hitting some thing. So it was nice to be in control. I don't really have much more to say so I guess I will talk to you later.

Love,
Elder Wall

Hey mom, I was thinking of some things that I might like for my b-day because it is coming up soon. But first let me ask you about your week how was going up to help Beth move home? I hope it all went well, and look forward to talking with all of you in a week or so, I think that because it is a weekend I will just call you on our phone I don't however know when I will be calling you all. I still need Anna's number so I can call her also.  As for what is going on in the area there is a few people that we are hopping to set a date with soon, we don't however know what ever happened to Cathy and Marisa, but I will let know as I find out.
To day is Elder Frongners last day really he goes to Brentwood tomorrow and lave Wed. it will be sad to see him go but at the same time it will be nice to have some one new around.
I know it is short but I sent you a letter a few days ago so I don't really have that much to say.

As for some things I might like for my b-day is string tribute what it is, is people who take regular music and playing on string interments they don't have any words and are ok to listen to on a mission. The best place to buy them would be Amazon.com they have a wide selection and you can buy used CD's so they don't cost as much. Let me know if that would be something you would think about doing and I can give you some names of groups to look for. Also any music the is just interments is fine like pirates of the Caribbean or the Lord Of The Ring sound track's I have a few CD's so let me know before you get any to tell you if I have it or not. Thanks so much hope to talk to you soon.

Love,
Elder Wall

This week has been a good week, we have been trying to set another date with a young man who has had all of the lessons and is ready to be baptized but he had to wait till he was 18, as for Cathy and Marissa we don't know what is going on with her she has kinda dropped off the face of the earth her member friend doesn't know either we are thinking that we kind of intimidated her by setting a date but that is how the work goes.
I am glad to hear that Anna is ok, I was just thinking if you don't count the time I hit the retaining wall with the Saturn I am the oldest driver that hasn't got in an accident and I have never totaled a car out before, so are Anna and him talking about getting a new car or what?
Don't let dad hurt him self while helping Beth I wish I was there because it would have been much easer I could gone by myself or me and dad. As for the stuff in my room there was something I was mining to ask you for I think it was last Christmas Jonathan gave me a superman dog tag that was engraved with RHW I was hopping you all could fined it I should be in a little box in my closet if you could find it that would be grate if not that fine too. One thing I have been wanting is the Pirates of the Carrabin CD I have the CD of the 3rd movie here but I would like the 1st and 2nd. I can't thing of any thing really that I need I will look to see and let you know. I hope to hear from you all soon.

Love,
Elder Wall

Dear Family,

I got the package and I do appreciate all of your testimonies, I also liked the candy and Chex Mix. The past week has been long with all the rain and with Confrere it has been exhausting but we did love the chance to hear the Prophet speak. We are still teaching Cathy and Marisa they have a baptismal date on 5-3-08 so if you could keep them in your prayers that would be helpful and pray for help for Cathy to stop drinking coffee I know that will help them. I miss you all a lot and love you too. I will try to write all of you some time this week.
Love,

How are all of you doing? I am well About when will I get me tax stuff because I need to get it in the mail as soon as possible, also you said that I have to clam my self as a dependent?  What all is in the box?

As for the whether hear in it is about the same hear as it is there we are teaching a mother and daughter they do not live in are area but the member who is good friends with do so we are teaching them there their names are Cathy and Marissa Valenzuela. Marissa is 14 and I told her that Rachel would E-Mail her mvallstar_85@hotmail.com . She reminders me a lot of Rachel, also I will need Rachel's E-mail address to give to her.
We are also looking forward to conference Sunday we will be going to eat with the Spanish Elders with a Spanish family it is real Mexican food and it is so good. There are so many people there that it is like when we would all go to your parents house, But the big think is that we don't speak Spanish and not that many seek English.
Lastly we got a new elder here right out of the MTC he is a lot of fun to see his excitement, Elder Frongner is down to his last month and he is ready to go home.
Love Elder Wall

Hello,
I did get the package and she loved the tote I also found my memory card.  She said that next time see gets a phone card she will call you and thank you in person; she really liked the colors and everything. So how is Rachael's driving? And does she have a job yet? And will she try to get on a Chick a Flay? So where are you going to take the sewing class at is it going to be a formal class like a Chattahoochee Tech? Or is it going to be a small little thing you do? In the last letter dad sent me I need to write him back but he was complaining about not getting any holidays off I need to tell him that I don't get any off.
This Saturday we are having a baptism it is the 15th his name is Nick I think I have told you all about him before we are going to another church building close by but we don't know how we will get there because we really don't have the support of the word. It will be a good teaching opportunity because he will have some of his other family members there, so that might be a way for us to start teaching them.

Date:Mar 3, 2008

Dear family,
How is every one doing I am well. It was nice to get to see tom and thanks for the drinks and the checks mix. If you didn't hear nicks Baptism is on the 15th so we are hopping that it will go though. It was nice to see the pictures from the wedding I hope you will send more.
David looked like a gangster with that hat on whose idea was that? In the pictures you sent I also realized he looked a lot like Brian. It looked like it was a good wedding though I wish I could have been there. Rachel's hair is really red it looks like she has died it a few times. So Vikki and Rachel have the learners permit. Let me just say I am glad to be in Tennessee! Just kidding I hope you are not driving mom to crazy. I hope to get a letter from you soon.

Love,
Elder Wall

I have talked to the woman at the bank I think that it should all be taken care of, and if you could send my taxes stuff out that would be grate. I am sorry to hear about Mary Wheeler how are they taking it? And why haven't I heard from Mrs. Pence yet tell her that she needs to write me. If she wants to it isn't a big deal. I herd that there was some tornados in the area this past week I trust every thing is ok. I the only thing I need as far as stuff to write letters is .07 led I think. As for the pictures just put them on to a cd and clear off the card. I don't know if you can see it but there was a night that some storms set a natural gas site on fire and you can see it light up the sky it is cool. I hope to get a letter back from you all soon.
Love,
Elder Wall

the work here in Lebanon is going grate! We have a baptism on the 9th of Feb. his name is Nick we are all very excited for it. The church building we are in is so ghetto, right now we are meeting in an old grocery store. We are building a building right now but it will take some time. So we don't have a baptismal font for him to get baptized in. We almost had it in a Baptist church but then they had another meeting so we have to find some were else to do it. Me and Elder Frongner thing it would be sweet to have it in a river but there is a branch building not to far away we will do it in I think.

Love,
Elder Wall

hello family,

How is every thing going now that the wedding it over? I hope it is a lot less hectic I was hoping to get a box but I am sure you are busy. We are teaching some really awesome people right now, but a lot of them aren't keeping there commitments, which can be really frustrating at times because they say they will and then they don't. I am sure it is like when I was at home and I would say that I would do some think and then I wouldn't do it. So I am sorry for that.
We had a member give up some pork ribs and shoulder and a lot for sausage and we really don't know how to cook it so any ideas would be nice. As far as food goes I would like some of the wedding cake if there is any left and you don't have to send any pies we eat enough juke food as it is.
I also was told that you all had received a lot of snow if so were the kids out of school? And if so did they have fun in the snow and all that good stuff?

Date:Jan 15, 2008

Sorry I haven't sent a letter I have been busy, I really hope to get a box soon it is cold and I could really use the jacket. The work here is going slow but we are getting some new families to teach, a lot of them are part member families, I find those are the ones that take along time to baptize just because there wife of husband or what ever haven't been living the gospel and it is hard to change. I want to thank you and dad for working so hard to raise us all in the church I am sure some times it wasn't always the easiest, but I know it was worth it. I see some many members that for no real reason just stop coming to church. Maybe they are just lazy and there is just no reason for it. The lord will bless you when you do what he asks.
       We just fond out that we had like 460 baptisms last year, there was only one mission in are region (missions that are under the same apostles I think there 70 members) that had more than us they had 12 more and 50 more missionaries. We are leading are region in all other numbers. It is hard work but I know that we will be blessed for it.

I am surprised how much I miss the family; life was much easer before my mission. It is hard right now because there really isn’t that much going on in Lebanon and Elder Frongner is very trunky he goes home in like four months. So that is hard, but I look he is still a good missionary. Did you do a lot of walking on your mission? I don’t think I have ever walked so much in my life. I would much rather ride bikes than to walk but there is no point in getting there fast if you have no were to go. So how it the new bike, is it sweet? You should send a picture of it when you get it. Will Camille get your old bike and do you think that she will go riding with you? Well I hope to hear from you soon.

Love,
Elder Wall

So Lebanon is ok, the church building is small they don't really have one yet. They are renting an old store for the meeting house. I will have tonight off so that we are not out with all of the crazies. Tomorrow we also have off because they don't want us knocking on people's doors that were up all night having fun so we get it off. As for things I need I don't really need any thing other than a razors. There was a blanket here so I don't have to worry about that just yet. How are all of the wedding plans going? Well I hope, I hope to see some of the dresses soon. How was having every one out of school and home all day? I bet it got crazy; I really enjoyed talking to you all on Christmas. I will be better about writing this area doesn't have much going on here so things are kind of slow it is a part time car area so we do a lot of walking, we would do more biking if we had some were to go but there is no point of going some were fast if you don't really have any were to go. So if you could try to send my coat and shoes that would be appreciated. Do you have Beth's new address? I want to send her and Brandon a letter, also do you brother Waldorf's address I should like to send him a letter. I hope to hear form you all soon.

Love,
Elder Wall
