Hey Ya'll From Joshua Texas (well i live in Burleson but close enough)
Hi guys well i am just chillin in Burleson TX now and my companions name is Elder Josie he is Also form West Jordan. I am kind of sad to have left Temple i really liked it there and i loved Elder Goldsberry we would have had such a good transfer but thats okay I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go right? Well before i leeft that aarea we set a couple of Baptism Dates with this sweet lady named Joan and Claudia Martinez they both were so nice and The cool thing about it is that i get to go back to see both of them then. Also the Curry's the members who called ya'll ther kids were crying when i left. i Miss it but i am excited to serve here as well i cant wait to get started. Mom i dont really know anything about coats so whatever you think is good is great with me i am good with anything. Thank you jeremy for the letters so much i am very excited for christmas as well were gonna have a blast. i'm not sure what were gonna do but it will be really fun. I miss snow you are so lucky i dont think i am gonna get snow this Christmas it wil be my first One without it. Mom where did you send that letter too? By the way my address is 400 SW Gordon Street #507 Burleson, Tx 76028 We live about 8 miles outside our area which is different and the apartment is quite small. On the bright side tho Elder Josie wants to get tough before he goes home so he/we have another weight set and a bench so i am gonna get tough but its really hard playing basketball cause i dont have enough time to adjust to my new strength and everything but i can drive to the hole better now but i do feel a little bit slower. i am glad that your getting to go to wood shop Dad and its cheap therapy right? Ha well i am Glad that you business is going well and will you For me send a thing of Emv to my old address for Elder Goldsberry as my Christmas Present to him if its really expensive thats okay you dont have to do it but i would really appreciate it if you did...I will Continue to pray for your buisness to grow (it is okay for a missionary to do that) Mom thanks for everything you continue to do and Dad you as well and i like the update on the Sports and stuff. I am crushed by Jordon I sent yall a letter with pictures and a letter to him dont give it to him it will make him cry gosh dang it that is so annoying i am sad right now. Well tell Sister Anderson thanks for the letter cause i cant e-mail her back and willyou give me Tanners Address and Jareds Home address that would be awesome. As for the Time of the Call i am not sure but by next week i will have it nailed down and also i have one more request umm will you send me my diggers Blanket for christmas as well i decided i really miss it and i want it so if you could that would rock. Well thats about all i got for ya this far and i will email you next week with some cool stuff well as cool as a missionary can be. Thank you so much everyone
Love Ya'll

Hey family,

Well thanks for the information and everything i like hearin about yall and about the stuff thats going on in your lives it feels like i'm more involved. Mom i appreciate your letter and everything and i love the shoe stuff and so does Elder Goldsberry the cleaner worked wonders on our shoes they look almost new now. I liked everything you sent me and anything you send me will be awesome i will use it all. my clothes are fine i have only had to fix one shirt pocket and one of the hems in my brown pants but i am amazing with saftey pins and took care of them with those.

i could you some more socks If you would like to send me any and i was careful on thanksgiving i only cut my leg in one place and it didnt feel like a turkey bowl there was no snow and i was in shorts and a T-shirt it was really weird but it was still really fun to get out and do something active. Thanks for the stats dad i really like hearing about that kind of stuff it makes me happy. Is Alex okay still is she improving or what i would really like to hear more about it. I am still using Emv and the juice i am almost done with the first bottle and almost all the Emv is gone also so that would be a good christmas gift just a little hint there. but anyways how is jaclyn is she okay alos i mean it was her baby.

Jill since you are going to read this also thanks for the blogs and stuff i like those there very nice and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL sorry i didnt say anything last week but i still said it so dont get mad at me i remebered sometime. Jen i read some of your Blog and just curious was the kacie you were talking about Kacie Hart whatever her married name is now?? Well i heard the weather in rexburg was really cold but i guess on friday there is a chance of snow down here how much snow is up there send me a picture of it i wanna have a white christmas ha well it will almost be one not really but maybe. the weather tho has been relativly nice compared to back home. It has the same feel with a really cold wind but there isnt any snow on the ground its kind of sad.

Transfer calls are this saturday which is kind of depressing this transfer has been so much fun and everybody says that i'm leaving so i dont know where i'll be next week it could be in oklahoma well on the border anyway. I set a new max for my bench this week which is 175lbs which isnt to bad considering i only weigh about 155-160 so i can bench more than i weigh i feel good about that. Elder Goldsberry wanted me to tell yall that he beat in basketball again he has done it twice it was a really close game tho 11-13 i was up 7-1 and he said that me just shooting the 3 ball was boring so i didnt shoot one for a while then he came back and i couldn't shoot anymore it was really bad he had really good defense tho it was sad that i could make any of my wide open layups tho i was kind of upset at that. Well i will write a letter to ya Mom if i forgot anything in your letter and i found an envelope big enough for som epictures so i'll send yall some of them too. Well i gotta go family bye-bye.

Love Yall

Elder Walker

P.S. thanks for sendind those flowers mom i really appreiciate it and hope that your guys's week is good talk to ya'll next week!:)

[[NOTE: The mission's next transfer date is December 9th. If you're planning on mailing him something, you're probably safer sending it to the main mission address. We'll post it here soon.]]

Hey Mom and Dad and Jill and Jeremy and Sean and Jax and Aunt Barbie, and everyone else who didnt write me a letter.

Hey Ya'll thank you so much for all the letters have yall seen Ian lately i heard he was going somewhere in new york I had never heard of it before honestly. So this week has been way fast we are workin hard and are having fun i think that those 2 go hand in hand hard work and happiness thats somethin for all yall future missionaries out there its really true when you have the spirit it feels so right, you just want more of it. Sean i am so excited dude awe i get the chills thinkin about your call i hope you go to somewhere where there are yarn heads like yourself haha that way you wonr feel so awkward. well i am gonna sen my mom a Memory card with pictures and stuff on it so ya'll can see what i've beeen doing for about 3 months now. Dad i loved your letter its so good to hear about Colton and Jordon that is so good that they are preparing and jordon gonedoes eveyone think its weird?? I was just thinking about going and getting him and how excited i'd be and everything it is gonna be so tight but that is a long ways a way. so back to texas ha well i dont know if i told ya'll about When i gave my first Blessing...so i'll tell ya just in case. Well it was about 2 or 3 weeks in the field and we (me Elder Goldsmith and elder Steffler and Elder McBride) went to Scott and White, a big ole Hospital in temple and we waited there for about 2and a half hours cause our bishop asked us to go give a blessing to someone. So we went and we couldnt go in cause the babies parents weren't there it was so Long so we left and then our bishop said to go back cause we could do it now so we went back but we waited for another hour and then we got in cause her grandparents were there. So we went in adn we talked to the Mom and aunt and asked what happened and theBabues Father had shaken her and it was so weird cause she just sat there spread eagle and she didnt move it ws a sad sight and then we gave her a blessing and i felt the Spirit so strong in there it was so cool and that just made my testimony ofpreisthood power grow exponencially somethin like that its a big word the i cant spell ha sorry i am not that smart. So we called the next week and they were out of the Hospital and she was Better. 

Well Mom i think that is a good experiance dont you? Well i think you could send brooke Flowers and say in the note From your best friend. It doesnt matter what kind of Flowers either. That would be a good idea thatnk you sobmuch for that. Dad me and elder goldsberry love the EMv and thanks for the update on everything i have to send Brett and chris letters that are in cool shirts too i didnt know they came over ha so i will have to do that. Tell Tammy and Jared if you see them that A mission is the best thing that Jordon could ever do. Jill & Jeremy thanks for te Emails and i dont know about the stamps but i bought some too i'lllook through all the letters yall sent me and i will find them or not find them either way its a good thing i have all the letters everyone sent me organized so it wont be too hard. Also our apartment's Carpets got Cleaned and it looks really good i love it i am a big fan of Clean ha thknas for that mom itsa blessing. Sean i am so stoked for you and ian and chris that is crazy i cantwait to here were all yall are going. Well thats all i think well actually We have a baptism this week...His name i shawn Davis he is cool kid i like his family a lot they are the best ward missionaries every ha well now thats all i think. yeah thats all wait i lied a funny story. We are teaching a lady and her name is Claudia and she is a way cool lady and we were helping her move and a long story short se told me i was a bad A yeah i laughd and agreed ha my soul delighteth in truth ha that was nephi talking there okay now i have to get off i am almost out of time okay well love you all bye bye

Email from a ward member and Pictures!!!

The Walker Family,

It was our pleasure to have your son in our house for dinner tonight. As a tradition, each time we have the missionaries for dinner, we take a picture of them with our three little boys and send it to their families. It's been a great tradition and a lot of fun to see what "the boys" come up with for the picture. I've attached two of them that we took tonight.

I also wanted to thank you for sharing Elder Walker with us here in Belton. I know he hasn't been out long, but I can see an excitement and energy in his eyes as he serves. It's comforting, as a mother of three boys, to know that there are great missionaries here to be an example to them. Elder Walker shared with us that he is the youngest of 5 and has 4 older sisters. I'm sure that's why he is as fun-loving as he is! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Take care,
Briana Mann
Belton, TX

Hey Family
I am doing great just enjoying the nice warm weather down here its really weird that there isnt any snow down here I am kind of upset really I kinda miss it its too hot for me and its ony like 70-80 degrees...Mom you can send me a letter the same way u you used to just its hard to know what letters have been read and the ones i havent read yet so if you can figure out how to make it look they havent been read yet go for it that would be fine. So did you go see Tammy i think she will definitly need some help just stop by to see how she is doing if you would for me that would be way sweet. Did you guys know that jordon didnt go to Brazil yet he is at the Provo MTC for a while i guess ha just a little fun fact. Well as of now we have another Baptism Date with a kid named shawn Davis and he is a way vcool kid he is 22 but looks loke he is 17ish maybe kinda like me but i will send another memory card home for sure...by the way the stuff on my memory card that you guys sent me i cant read any of it so you should send it to me again this Memory card i saw some of the pictures that jen out on there cause i took it to walmart to print off another picture but that was all. So just try again i dont know why it didnt work jill and Jeremy are smart tey can figure it out. The frst Baptism that i mentioned tho was back in octber on the 18th and it was a Lady nad Marissa Curry her husband was a less active and now his whole family is in the church and going strong...But a surprise that we had was anther girl in our ward who wasnt a member got baptized on the 27th of october so its just a cool thing to be out here. Thats weird that brooke came up did she go to jordons farewell?? Mom i can multi task i can think about two things at the same time so dont worry. Me and elder Goldsberry are taring it up down here. we are having fun too its great. I'm excited for thanksgiving we have it on p-day so its even better Jeremy i cant believe you ate so much thats hilarious i love food so that would be great if that happened to me haha. Speaking of food i weighed myself the other day and it said 158lbs i didnt believe it and i have high blood pressure ha weird right? i'm getting really old really fast. I cant believe i am almost 20 years old that is so weird. also i have to buy a bike so if ya'll could maybe out 200 more dollars in my account that would be great so i can get a bike to last me my whole mission. well i dont now what else to talk about so thats all i'm gonna say. Except to email this to jordon whose email is umm jrostermiller@myldsmail.net but wait till next week sometime to do cause he probably hasnt set one up yet well thanks guys so much for all you do.
Love ya'll
Elder Walker

Playing Basketball because i love it an d miss it ahh yeah i love Basketball... I love you guys more but i still love basketball. We have some really cool investigators tho i love em all.

Hey Dad and Mom,

hey guys thanks for the letters i'm lovin them. I didn't get transfered so dont worry anything you sent to me will get here. My new companions name is Elder Goldsberry he is pretty cool so far he has been out for a while so he knows his stuff ha. Our mission is supposed to have a really good month this month. Our goal is to get 100 baptisms in the month of November. I'm really excited to be out here and doing what i'm doing i lov it so far. People down here are so religious its so weird. like its crazy they have Christian talk radio a member left on on accident. Its just really weird how poeple who dont have the gospel are they dont know what life could be like. are jen and miyah still there? On a different note. We played basketball today and its sad how far my shot is off and how everything has changed. I kinda sucked to be completely honest to what i used to be its horrible. Mom i agree that it will be weird not writing down a wish list and a friends wish list but i will endure i'm still Lovin life down in the south its so humid today tho. So tell me about Salmon and how the girls did at state, and how buddah and scott are doing if there little PMG thing is still goin on or what. I love hearin from ya'll it makes my day really i didn't know letters could do that to you to be honest cause at home your like oh a letter but here your Oh my gosh i love mail time haha its kind of ridiculous. Well Mom thanks for the quotes they are really cool umm i didnt get transfered and the next transfer date is december 9th. wow time flies when you do stuff all day.

Last Week Email Update

Hey mom and Dad ,
Sorry about last week it was really confusing and annoying. Well last week Elder Goldsmith actually sprained his ankle pretty bad. it was really disgusting it turned all purple and red ugh. he is almost all better now tho its only a little bit swelled up. About me umm well its pretty much the same everyday, we get up workout till 7 then shower put on our white shirts and ties and eat then study till like 10 then go knock or on mondays we plan till about 2 then we knock but other than that its all pretty much the same everyday. P-day so far all we've done is play basketball till today cause the Spanish Elders in our area are real sick and we didn't want to play 2 on 2 it wouldn't be that much fun. thanks for all the letters and stuff you should tell me how the football team is doing manly Wilson but the football team to. On Tuesday tho i made an old man cry, it was a good cry tho his name is Carleton and I just told him that he could feel good again and he started crying. A little background on him tho he had just told us how his wife was a Crack Whore and she lives with a colored man now it was really funny, but then he told us that he was going to go get a couple of 42 oz beers drink them and talk to himself that night till he fell asleep. It was really cool tho i liked feeling the spirit with him. My ward is really cool also they are good at coming out with us to help us teach its pretty cool how many of them are willing to give up there time to help us. Well my back is better i just take some IBU and deal with it it doesn't hurt if i do that. Thanks again for everything including the package and i love you guys so much i love you a ton.
Love ya
Elder Walker, your Favorite Son
P.S. Mom you don't have to say that at the end of your letters it made me feel bad like i hurt you or something

Jill,
its okay that you haven't written me i don't have time to write anyone anyways i dont type fast enough to send it to that many people. so its okay but thanks for the package i love Mail, you should know how getting mail feels right? its not lame either its great haha i'm not greedy i promise. i love elder hollands talk to it was the bomb he is so bold and doesn't care about what people think. I cant believe that i make good lesson material. How i have only been out for like a month? read moms letter for a good story tho it was really cool. My area is Zion in Texas haha. My ward is great tho they are all really missinoary minded except for food we havent had a dinner like 2 times this week already. I think i have gained maybe 5-7 pounds the scale is hard to read for sure and i didn't know my starting weight. Well i have on more letter to write so
Eu Amor Voce Jill,

Hey mom and dad
Thank you so much for the package. i loved everything in it. i have already eaten 2 of the cup of noodles and 2 of the macaronis. I love the sour patch kids too thanks so much i'm excited to make a cake tonight its another greenie in our areas birthday its gonna be good. The weather here has been really good kinda like home nice and cold but way more rain its rained all but one day in temple since i've been here. We live in an apartment building called Turtle Creek Apartments its right in Belton by the walmart. My trainer has been here for 2 transfers before this one so he will probably go out and our district leaders think that i will to. my typical day is just waking up at 630 going to the gym in our complex if there is a female working out we have to leave which gets annoying because there used to be one who would get there at like 640 and we would have to leave in the middle of our work out, i hated it but for the past couple of days she hasn't come in so i've been getting a pretty good work out in the morning. then after that we go back eat breakfast and get ready for the day. After that we have our personal and Companionship studys. then we go out and teach the gospel either in referrals or tracting. I like tracting personally i thought walking would be annoying but i actually like it. Tomorrow tho we are going up to fort worth for a trainer greeny meeting training thing its like 2 and a half hours away. we have a car tho which is kind of disappointing cause riding a bike would be way fun i would make sure my seat was way comfy. Waking up early has been a lot easier here but my back has been hurting me so i bought some IBU and have been taking it at night which has helped a ton because i don't wake up in the middle of the night with an aching back. What is sugar's Record in football, and what happened to Cameron? Today we played Basketball again and it was way fun but in the last game i jammed my thumb finger which hurts way bad still. Dad i'm sorry that your class s so hard but like you said it makes you work hard cause you have to know the answer to every question like you always have haha. I love you guys and am so glad your helping my friends out and tell Scott and Buddha thank you so much for being nice to them especially Buddha and tell Buddha thanks for the package and all the stuff she told me the first day i got to the MTC in her letter it helped ease the pain. Mom thanks for keeping me updated on my friends and keeping them in line. Tell Colton to get something done in his life because in a while he will be without Jordon and then what is he going to do? Nothing at all except go to Dillons or Bretts tell him to practice football and make a goal to be able to walk on at BSU or where ever he wants to after his Mission. Well i have to write back pord and misty now but i loe you guys and Dad your first email still got to me but thanks for caring enough to send 2

Love ya,
Elder Walker

Misty thank you so much for the Email and jayce's letter and everything you sent me so far but just ask mom and dad about my days and everything i like they can tell ya i have to go everyone else is waiting for me i would write a longer letter bu ti have to go i love you sorry mom and dad have everything i have done since i've been here

Well i know that if i had to do it i would more than happy to. I'm gonna send you guys a letter because I'm running out of time to send my emails

love you guys bye

Love you lots,
Elder Walker

Hey Jax,

Thanks for all the letters and pictures from Jake they really are great. I love everything especially the Doctor Pepper, saved my life a couple times, add caffeine next time its better that way. Well my companions name is Bradley Boden from Malt/Elba Idaho -- haha, funny huh, 2 Idaho boys together. My district is way bomb they are all cool. I do [great] at basketball still tho. Me and my comp are the only 2 goin to texas, the rest are going to philly. There are some good ball players tho like one is a college baller and another 2 want to play and some of em are good, but I'm just that much better. My favorite teacher so far has been Brother Laubaugh he is so fetchin smart its not even cool, and Sister walker is bomb as well. I love em all its just the spirit that they all have is so intense its great and i love it. It isn't as bad as i thought it would be. The hard part is not fallen asleep in class or PS. I think i might have gained a pound but that's all, might have even lost one. Heard about your race tho and that you ran really good dad said that your team passed a lot of teams -- and sorry if my spelling sucks i have to type so fast its hard -- well back to your race i'm still impressed that you were able to do it after like what 4 months of having a baby. Its freakin impressive. That story about Jace and jake is hilarious thanks it made my day. I sent my memory card to jill so you should see some really cool pics and a Video directed towards your family well i have to write another letter so thanks again for everything you've done for me.

Love You and Jake and Jared
Love, Elder walker

Hey, Jen and Landen. I miss you so much. Walker I M-I-S-S Y-O-U T-O-O. He can practice his letters haha. Well, I just want to thank you for being who you were and still are to me, a great sister and brother. Landen you know what I’m going through and it still sucks. Your first 3 days are horrible. They drag on for what seems like an eternity. I’m so grateful for your example these past years and look forward to hanging out with you guys when I get home. I’ll be back before you know it. I hope so anyways haha. I hope you‘re either just having another kid or preggo when I get home so we can go play ball together. Gym is by far my most favorite time of the day. It keeps me sane, well as sane as I come. You better write me back. Okay? Just make a personal promise to for me. Well, Walker I’m excited to hear from you and write you back. Tell your Mom to send me an SD Memory Card of you. Jen, just go buy one, put it on your comp., then paste it on the SD card if you have a card reader. If not then I’ll miss your pictures. Haha jk I love you Jen and Landen and Walker.

First Letter to the Erbs

Dear Jill and Jeremy,

Hey, Sis and Bro, so it has been so hard here so far it sucks. The first day went on forever and ever. So did the second day but today was a little bit faster. So was it this hard for you? Either of you? Well, I just wanted you to know that I love the spirit and I love learning and teaching. It’s insane how much I don’t know. I know doctrinal stuff but that’s about all. I should have studied PMG more, it would have helped so much. Why didn’t you tell me to do that? You guys know more than anyone what I’m going through. I can’t wait for your wise words of wisdom to help me cope with my situation. Well, I have to go to bed so love ya both, miss you guys, can’t wait to see you come pick me up at the airport haha.

Love your brother,
Elder Kevin Walker

You’re beautiful just so you know your gorgeous. You better be there to pick me up when I come home. You’re going to be so big. It’s so weird how old you’re getting. I remember when you were born.

Elder Walker's First Letter to Mom and Dad

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thanks for the candy, you’re right, I love it. The food here is food tho it makes me so full. I think I’ve gained a couple pounds. Haha. Not really. I’m still a stick but the food really is good. I miss home already and the first night here I realized how long 2 years could actually be. It’s been hard these first couple of days. I’ve had about zero sleep and have a pounding headache all the time. Mom you were right I do miss you a ton but I’m gonna have to deal with it. Well I’m running out of time to write so I’ll email you Thursday.

Love

Elder Walker
