Hey Y'all!

      Okay well first off HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!! Your birthday was my Month day so its like we have the same birthday. Well now I am in a place called Highland Village and i am lovin life. Its in the Lewisville Zone or stake whatever you wanna call it.   My Companion is Elder Barney he is from REXBURG  he said that he lives behind the hospital kind of by our house.  We live with Members and there house is pretty nice its way cool too.  I haven't really met the whole family yet.  We live in a pink little loft thing on the back side of there house.  The Mcintires is there name or something like that.  Our area is another bike area so yeah for me nice and hott during the summer.  This area is really really rich like everybody is loaded we went to two peoples houses last night and their homes were big.  This is quite the change from Killeen there are no ghetto's, no big rims, and no Army folk either.  I have a feeling tho that we are gonna have a lot of fun this transfer. Thats about the only change in my life now.  Jill did you ever live with members??? 

Brett man i cant wait for your letter my area is doing well as far as i know i think that we could have 4 baptisms this transfer.  We have 2 dates already but they are pretty far off so we are going to move them up tonight so yeah and 2 for miracles.  Hotlanta sounds pretty Hot tho i feel for ya i dont know how hot it is here i dont wanna know.  Pord i remember that ride it was fun when we did it i enjoyed it a lot.  Do you guys ride down poleline?  Or do you just go down 2nd E?  I cant wait for your letter back i am excited for it.  Dad thanks for the really long letter today i loved it.  Its okay that you didnt send me a letter last week i still love ya.  just as much and i got the Emv thank you.  Thanks for the encouragement and Compliments they are much appreciated.  Mom i am sorry i didnt write you a letter i will this week and it will be a good one i hope that you have a great B-day and i will continue to pray for jill i hope she has a new boy/girl when i get home.  Buddah thanks for the letter well email i liked it a lot and you can email me all you want i just cant send you a personal email back so email me away haha. MIke man thanks for the letter and happy b-day to you too i totally forgot about that but yeah your right we are getting to be quite old .  Well i have a letter just waitin for the address to send it too. Btw did you get transfered or what??

Hola mi Familia! Y Mi Amigos!

     Okay well this week has been a blast!!  Me and Elder Bagley have biked a ton we went too the most Northern tip of our area and then the next day we went to the most southern tip it was awesome yesterday we biked about 19+ Miles wow right?!  Also we finally Baptized Erik it took us a while but we did it and ha was also confirmed because we have Stake Conference this weekend so we decided to do it that day instead it was really cool.  Elder Bagley got to do both of them it was his first real convert so it was even better that way.  It was great to get all of your Letters its always good to hear about all y'all it makes me feel loved.  

Sean i know you can do it buddy your awesome its just a test you can make it back out people need to feel of your spirit so get better and Just Do It.  Pord i sent you a letter today cause i kinda didnt have any stamps until today so sorry it took it a while but its comin i promise and it kind of is a crappy letter so i am writing another one today so dont be disappointed with the first one i was in a rush.  I hope i set a good example for ya i am doing better now than i was before.  Congrats on Graduation Jocey hope it is/was fun.  Mike Colorado es mui Malo Tejas is Mucho Mejor Y Tejas es Mucho Bueno!! Ha jk it is pretty Ballin tho man and SLCC sounds like a plan that would be awesome if we can i am excited to do it.  Mike send me your mission address so i can write ya letter for reals okay?  Brett i kinda need your address too.  How is your trainer? Do you like him?  Do you have a door approach yet?  How big is your area?  Ha a lot of questions sorry but it is gettin way hot I got a mean sun burn yesterday cause we spent all day tracting it wa fun.  I got fried like usual.  You sound great now just give me an address.   Colton, my little brother, I would definitely put up a good fight now i am scrappy as always and now got a little meat on me.  Texas is good tho its still pretty warm and humid as always but i love it i'm getting Acclimated so it isnt as bad as it could be.  You should start school in august.  I think that way you can get done with it and get a career and move on with life.  I dont know if you can or not but you should try.  Love you Bro keep bein you and be nice to Claud or i'll fight ya when i get home haha.   

Mom, You sound very busy.  How was your trip?  I'm just guessin that its over now.  Tell Jill i'm prayin for her every night and that it will happen for her i know it will they should keep on growing strong.  Tell the Calderwoods Hi for me.  I will look that up it sounds interesting.  I love you mom your awesome you keep on keepin on life hard but we need the bitter so we can taste the sweet!  D&C 136:31  my favorite Scripture as of now.  Dad i hope school is going well and that your havin fun with it.  Just a question did you get a chance to talk to Coach Miller about the films??  Thanks if ya did and Please if ya didnt ha.  Well i love you all your awesome and i will tel ya next week where i am and if i left and all that good stuff.  Okay well i love you guys every single one of ya.

Hola everyone,

     Hey Family Friends and others!  Okay well my week has been really good we've been talking to people & just enjoying it.  It was so hot yesterday it was like 96 with 55% humidity. I was so sweaty it was nasty.  I have a camelback that i got from an investigator and its a life saver.  I think i am more hydrated then i have ever been in my life.  I am lovin Texas and just life in general its weird to think about what i did before this i feel like i have been a missionary my whole life.  Its crazy like i cant even fathom "Real Life".  You guys have to live in it everyday.

By the way Happy Birthday to DAD and Misty and Belated to Jaclyn (i think)!!!  Also Happy Mothers day MOM!  Other than the heat my life has been pretty much the same as always. I guess 6 o'clock my time will be okay for the call home.  I forget that you guys now have late church cause when i left it was at 11 which is what my church is at also.  Well i told you guys that i was getting bigger and nobody believed me >: (  I have found time in between missionary efforts to work out and get bigger just like Coach Parish told me to do so i can play Ball when i get home : )  I haven't gotten mom's package yet and i am waiting for it patiently.  Somthing that i would like if you can find it anywhere would be Bag Pipe hymns or classical Bag Pipe music.  Its a good change up from regular Motab and piano's. So thats my one request this week i think that that would be really cool but dont just send that wait till you want to send me more stuff i can wait for that.  Umm,  Brett it was really good to hear from ya i cant wait for your letter i'm so excited to read it.  Ha i love mail its awesome.   I dont get very much snail mail but i get good emails so thats okay.   T bear i didnt even hear about your Call i feel so left out now y'all where are ya going?? I am stoked about that i cant wait to know where your going your awesome man keep the faith be a really good missionary!!!!  Pord i am jealous of ya i really would like to here that concert haha tell me how it is and take pictures and send them too me so i can see you!  It is nice to get a letter from you every week too i love it. Elder Dayley man que paso?  Mi es mui Bueno and mi es mucho cansado.  Yo amo sue!  Amor Elder Walker.  

 Hey gracy happy late b-day i love you.  Jace your good at typing i love you too!!  hey Jill and Jeremy i love you guys i'll send ya a letter with my thoughts and stuff.  Mom your awesome thanks for dealing with jake and my friends and everything thats actually really funny about jake and Deseret book store. it made me laugh and i will talk to you the longest on sunday i am glad that you guys were so much help to my friends! Whose Carleton?? I love you mom and hope your package comes!   Dad i will do that thingy today and send it to you i am sorry for this thing i should have taken care of it. Tell Pord that he is family and can get on for the whole thing but i only have 40 minutes this time and yeah you can tell Brooke to jump on like i would say no haha. Also we can use our cell phones this time so its all good.  Anyways you guys are awesome i will talk to you on sunday and am supper excited to do that!

Love you guys so much,

Elder Walker

P.S. I love you Brooklyn! you too pord in a different way.
