Danny thinks this Liahona bike runs on faith.
Hey,
This week. Man that is a lot to remember. I would have to say the most exciting thing was this little rat of a Chihuahua. Here are Elder Peters and I, tracting around in this apartment complex. I knock on this door and a member pops her head out, trying to keep the door shut. We begin to talk and then this black thing shoots out the door. She starts screaming for her kid to get it! We look and realize it is a Chihuahua! So here we are, in white shirts, slacks, backpacks on, and me with a Book of Mormon in my hand, chasing and herding this dog back. The sucker was quick! I managed to block its movements with the power of The Book of Mormon. It is a powerful book, I will testify to that. It cannot read and it still felt the spirit! Wow! Anyways, I grab the dog and get it back to the lady. We had quite a funny discussion after that.
Oh, what else happened. Spiritual experience! Sunday, I had this horrible cold. It was near migraine capacity. The lights hurt, sound hurt, I could hear the lights if they were on. Miserable. So I prayed that the Lord would heal me. During it I also asked if it would be better for me to stay at the basement or go to church. Of course, go to church. Here is where it gets cool. I basically have no energy at all. My muscles could barely get me up the stairs. Got on the bike, and began to pedal. I could not feel my legs. All I was doing was steering. I found my legs moving by some other force. It was cool! This happened the entire day. Also, each sacrament meeting we attended, my health improved. Really cool.
Another thing that happened that day. Not so cool. Elder Peters thought it was hillarious though. I nearly got ran over by a car I was trying to get into. A 91 year old was driving and thought I had got in. Well.....I wasn't in. Long story short, we got the guy to stop. I almost had to dive inside.
One thing I do not like about Sundays. It is required that we wear our suits. Being on a bike makes this sort of inconvenient. We have to put our coat in our backpack, and make sure our suit pants do not get caught in the chain or gears. I've already seen the damage those things can cause. Elder Peters is a testament to that.
Speaking of bikes, that free one is only worth parts. The only good things on it is the reflectors and the seat. Nothing else. Very sketchy. I'm going to have to either get a new one or get one from either Elder Kemer (batman) or Elder.....someone who is about to leave. Kemers is a Liahona (one of the worst bikes in the world) and the other one is very good (according to Elder Peters). He doesn't know what brand it is.
By the way. I need all the genealogy information you can get me. All of our family information. Both Harper and Waller sides.
Q and A time.
I don't have time for Thermal Garments. Just need regular thermals. Hi Sis. Momerak! An alarm for my blog? AMAZING! Hey, just be glad those books got me into a better relationship with a prospective baptism. Everyone asks where I am from. No one can detect an accent. Really funny. I get offended when some refer to everyone in North Carolina as hill billies. I have gotten pretty good at hiding my true feelings. I've pretty much solved to problem with the lessons. Just need to keep at it. Uncle Chuck is coming here? Does he even know which Zone I am in? Technically, I can't make those appointments. Do I care...not really. The acting advice...nearly everyone around here. Of course, they all talk highly about BYU, trying to convert me to BYUism. I am staunch UNCW. Yes the Bears are members of the church. The parents did all the work, the kids played. Five people in the family total. No, luckily it was not raining. I knew it! I shall be happy when I don't have a crazy companion who loves lightning and rain. No...the font does not make me hungry.
Anything else? If not...
Love ya,
Elder Waller
In the last paragraph, Austin is responding to some questions I asked him. Such as, do people ask you where you are from based on your accent? And answers in reference to comments from his previous letters. di
PS: This message was returned back to me because I tried to send pictures. So I did send it, it just didn't make it.

I think this is Elder Peters, Austin's 1st companion.
