Hey Mom and Dad and Jill and Jax,
Its good to hear from y'all. Jill sorry i didnt write you last week i didnt get your e-mail till after i already sent mine Jax same with you i would have written but you guys sent it too late. Well Jax i will respond to you first.
My life is awesome i am lovin Texas just being a missionary with Elder Josie. This is the last P-day of this Transfer, I cant believe its been 3 weeks since Christmas and its almost my Birthday i'm so excited. Can you believe i'm going to be 20 years old!!! Thats so weird to me i have seen 2 decades roll through. I am so old. But Jaclyn i will do my best to help you out but mine will be lean tough as nails muscle i will not be fat ever i do however look bigger in my face and neck. I am super jealous of that i want to play everyday i miss it a lot but i have a life time to do that and only two years to do this so i gotta stay focused and do all i can now cause it will be over before i know it.
I think i did know that and a way i used to talk to people about that and how important it is, I say like there is a wall between us and God we cant go through around or even under the wall and we cant talk through the wall but we can throw a message in a bottle or a prayer over the wall. But in order to know what god wants us to do we need constant communication so there has to be someone on top of the wall aka a prophet to help us have that constant commmunication that we need. Its really hard to type and explain what i really want to say but thats the gist of it if you dont understand it just let me know and i'll try and tell you in a more simple kind of way or more detailed whatever you want. The music thing, just go to itunes and look at the top songs for whatever genre you want hey are normally good ones to listen too or ask jill and jen they should know.
well Love ya Jax. Just keep tellin me how you guys are and whats goin on with y'all.
- Jill thanks for writing me ever if it was really short. I understand though I hope that you guys are doing okay especially Jeremy. Also i hope that it wasnt to hard for ya, You know what i mean, I am still waiting on pictures from everyone i sent mom two memory cards with a few pictures on them but i would really like some pictures of y'all like hard copies that way i can look at them anytime. I love you jill have a good week okay!
- Colton Its okay i dont feel to bad it just makes it look like i have more emails this week haha. So do you have any simpathy for me now when i said that my teeth hurt? I do feel for ya though on the wisdom teeth they suck bad. I have been oing awesome since Christmas i have had a ton of fun with my Comp but we think this is the last week we ahve together cause he is probably getting transfered cause he has been here for quite a long time like 6 months. He has been in Joshua longer than i have been out on my mission total. I am still way excited for ya too get your call and am glad that you got everything taken care of and i hope that you keep talking to pord and tell him to get back out there and do work like we both know he can. Is there ever a doubt in your mind tha we wont stay friends through it all i mean what else can we go through? You move like 10 hours away and we still stayed tight and you went to a camp where i couldnt talk to you for like 8 months and we still stayed tight i dont know what else we can go through i mean really we will be tight no matter what. You are my brother so we gotta stay tight we family forever. I miss ya man i cant wait to hear where your going it will be an exciting day. Well let me know and keep me updated on life. Love ya bro forever.
-Mom and Dad, Hey y'all its good to hear from ya i love thursdays just cause i get to hear from ya'll it makes me feel loved. Mom thanks for the updates on my friends i am really glad to hear about mike going out that is so cool me and ian are the only ones not learning a language thats gonna be rough when they all come back and they are talkin in spanish and me and ian cant understand a word they say ugh. All well, I wont open any packages from you i promise till my b-day.
My favortie scripture is Helaman 5:9 It is really good so that one or 2 nephi 31:21 which ever one you like more cause i like both of them equally and dont want to choose between them. Where in texas will y'all be?? I dont care if you read all the mission stuff it doesnt bother me at all and if you would like to send me some i wont tell ya no but in february i will be extremely smart with my money cause thats when i get 135 from the church. Also i hate to tell ya'll this but i got a ticket for going 42 in a 30 which i though was a 35 but i can take defensive driving and get it off my record if you would put 145 dollars in my account casue it is 105 for the paperwork stuff to take the class then 40 more to take the test thingy. Sorry i promise i wont get anymore tickets while i am here.
Dad, thanks for that i really liked it a lot and i really like the sports updates. Jocelyn has that scholarship for Volleyball and she goes there on like the 8th or 20th of August. Does that surprise you that Jordon is lazy ha he is never gonna change and Colton has always been like that he just needs to be humbled a lot.Well i have to sign off as well family thanks for being you, Never change that. I love y'all and Miss ya'll
Elder Walker!! : )

Email Update: Need more letters
Hi parents i am only gonna talk to you guys cause everybody else was too busy to write me this week except y'all. Dad that is really cool i hope you learn a lot about the BOM it really is a super book i enjoy learning about it all the time its so much fun to study cause its full of actiion its almost like a novel. An idea for your class is too have them read it in a month cause if they do they gain a better understanding of the story and the time line and everything makes more sense like all the Nephi's and all the Laman's and i just think it is a really good idea and you should let all my friends who want to come in to your class and study with y'all and learn all they can about it it will help them i gaurentee it or however you spell it. Mom i dont think your preaching but i just wanna know why you think i am not a disciple what do you think i did or have since done too not be a disiple of Christ? i am not mad i just wanna know what is on your mind and why you think that. Well i am lovin life out here with Elder josie we have interviews tomorrow and i will have a better understanding of the chances of me and Josie stickin together for another transfer it will be a lot of fun if he stays and if i stay as well i really want to have a companion for longer than 6 weeks. For my birthday i dont know what i want hmm... i want Gift cards i dont need any clothes i dont need anything really i just eat a lot so gift cards will be great! Dad i dont get to watch the games but members keep us updated on things so i will know who won and the score and some stats. I am really excited to possibly see uncle bill that would be really cool i am hope i get too i will ask pres in my interview tomorrow you said february right? That is so awesome. Jocelyn told me about Chris and his Mission call too Mexico city east mission thats really cool i bet he fly into dallas on his way there and i am still excited for sean and everyone else too. well i am so glad to hear from y'all and i cant wait to see uncle bill i hope ha. Well i gotta go y'all bye
Love ya,
Elder Walker

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!:)
