Email Update

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

Email Update

Hey MOM and Dad,

Thanks for all the doughnuts and all the candy and all the letters. I have gotten at least one everyday the whole time I've been here thanks so much. Dad how is Mowing the lawn?? 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

First Letter to the Lishes

Dear Jen, Landen and 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.

Love, Your Brother/Uncle

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

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

P.S. Will you send Brooke my address? Thanks again for everything.
P.S.S. Will you take Trenton’s and my sisters’ mail to them. I don’t know their addresses.
