Email Update: Loving it!

 Hola mi amigos!

      Okay so i wish i could speak spanish all i can do is practice, right?  Well, guys my week was awesome i had a lot of fun with Elder Spear the work in killeen is speeding up.  We're building our teaching pool a lot and people are progressing its really cool.  Its General Conference time in the mission and i am excited thats weird for me to say  that cause i dreaded conference back home it was really hard to sit through it all, it still is cause i hate sitting still but i now enjoy it so its awesome.  People dont realize how blessed they can be by just watching it so thats what we are doing is inviting people to come to the church and watch it. 

 

Mom i am glad that you stick  up for my team thanks nobody else would so thank you i hope they win it all just to rub it in.  My eye is fine nothing to worry about its all better now i got some drops and they worked out fine.  Tell Dave that its okay we're over each other well i am over her anyways i dont know if she is over me i mean how is that even possible?  Elder spear is from Nyssa Oregon its a small town a mile from the Idaho Border.  I will write her today what happened?? My address is 501 west central texas expressway #3102 killeen tx 76541  i dont think there is anything that i need except i want misty to send me my cards back with some pictures of them on them.  Also did you find the camera that i lost before i came out???  

 

Dad i cant believe you would pick Kansas over Duke i mean really Kansas they lost to k-state and you know duke is my team i cant believe you.  Ha i am just kidding its all good they were supposed to win it all from what i heard.  I know what you mean when talking about getting deep into the BoM I spent an hour this morning on 10 pages thats to bad your gonna be all by yourself for a while it might be good tho give you some time to relax and just be alone i am never alone.  I am sorry the weather has been cold and stuff but i would rather have that then 80 degrees with like 50-60% humidity its horrible its hard on your body. Its even hard on my body.  Misty i would really appreciate them back with you guys on them!!  Hope that your week goes good and you enjoy the time with mom & everybody.  

 

Pord good luck man i hope it works out for ya and i hope that you kill everyone at that tournament thing dont let darren eat the ball.  Do work kid okay! I am so stoked that you got your visa nad everything it makes it easier to go and do your work you could just ask to come to the Texas ft worth mission ya know i am just through in that out there ha jk jk.  Who says regards after there letter  i mean really?? Say sincerly or love or soemthing cool but regards man? its okay i forgive you at least you wirte me back.  Hows The Language coming??  

 

Jeremy thanks for the letter and i have no idea about those questions maybe you can copy paste your notes and send them to me then i can be enlightened.  I love PMG its really a good information filled book.  Well y'all i have to get going but thank you for the letters and the love i will write ya next week!

 

Love y'all

Email Update: Another week, 2 more baptisms

Hey Everyone!

Well my week has been awesome i have talked to some really cool people. We have a baptism this Sunday with a family named the Ayer's they are sweet Deborah and Audrey and soon her husband Dave. They are really cool. She is black and her daughter is half black and they are awesome, she actually asked Elder Spear how she could take classes to get baptized she is awesome. So on Sunday they are getting baptized and we area also meeting with another couple named Matt & April they are awesome as well they have a date for the 4th of April and we should be setting another date before the end of the week. I am loving life in Killeen Elder Spear is a really good missionary i like him a lot. We are doing awesome solid work the people we teach really do want to gain knowledge its so awesome talking to people like that.

Mom i did get a bike it only cost me 30 bucks too it was another missionaries bike and he went home and i got it so were good there i like it too. I think that the blog thing would be an awesome idea are you guys going to go with Brett through the temple too?? I think you should tell him i will be there in spirit. Also the guy who is huge is a recent convert in the burleson ward named chris jalali, he is an amazing guy he has liver cancer but is so positive. I love his family they have a kid named ayden (A-den) i dont know how to spell it so that will suffice. I am not sure what people your talking about i forgot what picture i sent home sorry.

Well the work is goin awesome i am so glad that things are good back home and i did get your package and i love the pictures and everything else it was awesome. I also got Your package too Brooke i Loved it a ton i mean a lot a lot. Ha

umm Jill i liked your pictures they were classy ha you look awesome in green ha but i didnt do much for st. Patrick's day i had a zone conference yesterday so i didnt do much of anything yesterday it was kinda boring about 5 hours of driving but i did get top see a movie called the Go-getter its about a guy named william (billy) Peck its cool you should look for it. I know you'll like it i did anyways and there are a lot of eternal principles behind it too. Also i dont like Pentecostal people they believe that you have to speak in tongues to receive the holy Ghost its so ridiculous. The book of acts is the cause for so many different denominations taking just one instance to prove something

thats why the book of mormon is so essential Because it is something else we can look to for guidence on those stupid subjects that people dont understand at all it bugs me so bad but i get through the days so i am okay. Dad thanks for the letter i liked it a lot and everything is going just great the bike worked out and i have plenty of everything thanks you so much for all that you and mom do for me and for my friends. Tell sean he cant do that any more and he knows what i am talking about ha just tell him he will know its in the picture wow well thanks family i love you so much!!!!!!

Bye-Bye

Speaking of the field Mike man its so good ot hear from ya and this is the right Elder Walker it has been a while man so your goin to denver you lucky dog and you get to speak espanole, somethin like that, I'm jealous i love trying to speak it you'll rock the mexicans socks off man the inly advise i might have is go 100% all the time cause like you said it does go by super fast and then its gone so we have to do all we can in this 2 years that we have it so much fun your gonnna love the feild its awesome dont be afraid of people either they really arent that scary they are quite funny actually.  man mike i love you elder Dayley thats weird but your gonna be one heck of an elder.  

Mom i have not yet gotten your package i will tomorrow tho i am really exciteed for that and brooke same with you i have yet gotten it but i am super excited to get it.   I will write you a letter today!  Mom i love that talk its really good i even printed this one off ha but really thanks for all that you do i really appreiciate it i get more packagess than anyone else i know i really love knowing that i am missed i will send that tape recorder today and i will make elder spear talk into it for a second and say hi.   

Jeremy i don think that is my apartment the address is 501 w texas exspress way #3102 killeen texas 76541 so if that is the adress that you typed in maybe thats what it looks like form the highway i wouldnt know i dont have a car anymore so i dont ride on the freeway.  I really like being with Elder Spear he is really good at pickin g up on things and doing them really quickly he will be an awesome missionary.  I like follow up trainiing its fun.  The weather here is getting hot like 75-80 already and i think that i might die if it gets any hotter which it  will so i am going to die a horrible sweaty death ha.  i could't get up at 5 even if i wanted to so i am impressed that you are doing it ha its hard getting up at 6:30 but the sad part is that i get more sleep than ever in my life i think haha.  

Well everyone is waiting on me so i got to go guys i love you all so much thank you for all the letters

If you sent it to Joshua i will get it on tuesday wif you sent it to the office i will get it on tuesday.  So basically i will get it on tuesday.  Okay well i am serving with Elder Spear he is an awesome elder from Oregon he lives like a mile outside of idaho.  He has been out for almost 2 months now i am follow up training is what its called i am lovin it down here so far except i have to buy a bike so i need some money asap so i can buy one i dont know how much they are just put in as much as you think i will need to buy it.  Elder Spear is a really great we are going to have a ton of fun.  Its starting to get hot here now its like 70 today i am going to die of a heat stroke ha just kidding but really i probably will cause its going to be super hot.  

Well mom thats sweet that Everybody is getting there calls i cant wait to here where brett is going its gonna be really awesome anywhere he goes.  There isnt really much to report from down here i am just excited to get those pictures and see snow and y'all again.  I am going to attach a picture or 2 so you guys can see me and elder boden and elder spear.  

Brett man i did hear about that i laughed a little bit and then i laughed even more thats what happenes when you dont put the pedal to the medal or in coach miller termanology killer instinct or don't let up remember when he told us that that when there down keep it up its so funny.  All well it just  goes to show that we were and will always be better.  Pord you could get me some talks from EFY or anything like that really i can listen to that so i enjoy talks now.  Dad its good that your last year will be a good easy one and then your nobodys slave.  Well except for mom cause she has stuff for you to do now that you have time to do it.  Well guys it was so good to hear from ya.

Email Update: 6 Month Mark Tomorrow

Hey Everyone!

         Hey Family, well first off thanks for the letters and the packages and everything.  The Baptism went great he is an amazing guy i like him a lot he told me to tell y'all thanks for being so good to me, and letting me come down here and help him.  Well this week has really flown by and transfers are this saturday so i dont know if i'll be here next week we'll have to wait and see its weird how fast things have gone by.  

So jen how is home and where is Landen?  I miss watching those two have there fun i cant wait to see them be big enough to matbe actually hurt me haha.  Jen i dont think i have gotten it yet but at least there is something to look forward too now ha and i have mail coming.  You should ask those missionaries if they would like to come eat withoyou sometime missionaries love that.  Also your right about the  differences int he wards down here and up there they are a lot closer down here and like you said they have to be a family or the worldly preasures eventually drag you away homet eaching is really bad here too caue ther are so many less actives.   

Mom the cookie dough rocked i made some of it into cookies and the rest into my stomache yumm!  Ha well the work is really starting to pick up here our teaching pool is grownig very rapidly.  We talked to 200 people last week and had really good numbers, i like numbers a lot.  Elder boden and i have been doing really well and we are having a lot of fun too.  Being a missionary is a lot of fun i am starting to really like it and have sucess too.  I am going to send the tape player back and it will have my voice on it and i like it it was weird to hear y'alls voices.  Me and Boden have been companions for about 6 weeks now mom but we have had fun and i like him.  I can use the scripture case and i like it a lot it feels just like a ball ha it helps me cope.  I didnt buy a bike i dont think i will if i dont go to a bike area soon cause it wouldnt be worth it too me to spend a lot of money and only have it for one year or something like that.  Mom you should ask the missionaries who cover our ward if they would like to come eat food with you too.  

Dad thats sad to hear well i guess that coach miller never learns that you dont slow down you push it at em when they're down.  Who told that he said that??  He said the same thing when we played buhl my junior year.  All well life goes on it sucks a little bit more but it does go on. Speaking of basketball i was wondering if maybe after things settle down with coach miller and everything maybe you could ask him to make you a copy of all my games and make a highlight film and send it to different places and see if they think i am good or not cause i would like to know what others think about me cause if they think i am good i will try and go big when i get home.  So thats good to hear about your buisness i hope things work out and everything is better and that you can make it big time.  How did the house turn out? you should send me pictures and I WOULD LIKE PICTURES FROM HOME SOMETIME SOON, Thanks.  Also if you Could Get Some Talks or EFY stuff that would be cool too.  

Misty thanks for the letter its crazy that abe is already that big and Tell goose to talk in french on the recoder thing so i can hear her and liayh too i want to hear her spanish so i can learn some.  The Old testament is weird i think i mean its cool but really weird ha there are good things in there like moses and Elisha killignthe priest of baal and everything but some of it is weird.  I personally like the story about uriah in 2 samule its a good one chapter 11 i think he is a very honest man and is a very good example.  

Jeremy thanks for the letter i love hearing from y'all and its so good to have turkey i agree ha i like the stuff.  I miss having a phone that i could text on your phone is so cool that it has e-mail and that cool stuff on there.  Well i have go to get gone i am out of time love y'all!!!

Elder Walker

P.S. read matt chapter 5-7 the sermon on the mount and look at it as the temple i mean in 5:1 it says "into a mount" not on a mount just look at things like the Endowment on the mount
