Email Update

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

Email Update

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!:)
