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.

Hola everyone,

    Hey y'all well my life is going good!  Its crazy its already May well basically.  Hmm, not much has happened this week.  We went to zone conference yesterday and it was president thurston's second to last one he only has 1 more!  President Saggers comes in about two months.  Wow, thats weird its exciting but weird.  So thats about the only thing new down here. 

Sean man you are awesome i cant wait to see ya again man your gonna be an amazing missionary.  Your fire is burning right now and never let it go out okay?!  You need to show spain what sugar city idaho is all about!  Ha Well at least what Elder Pope is about.  I cant believe your time is up and your going out already.  Time will fly by buddy so make it worth it.  Brett man it was good to hear from ya i cant wait for you to go to georgia and get to talk to real people the TA does suck a little bit but its get better with time i promise.  Your testimony will grow stronger out there and it will also be challenged so keep it up and be strong with it.  Same with you sean.  

Misty it was great to hear from you i don't know what to do for the summer just keep them entertained ha easier said than done huh.  Tell them all Hi and good luck in their piano recital They are probably really good so tell them to keep it up.  Jill good luck sis i hope it is the answer that we all want for ya.  I am prayin like crazy for ya.  Mom thanks for the letter and the encouragement i cant wait to get that package and its okay i'm not going anywhere anytime soon.  Dillon i'll just send you a letter okay? Its better that way.  Elder Dayley thats awesome man i cant believe you've been out for what is it now 4 months right? Thats a long time man congrats on your Baptism as well your probably an amazing teacher and can speak spanish like a mexican! haha.  Pord man thanks for the letter and the Love.   How is kiora???  How is just chillin with dill all the time now??   I still am excited to go to brazil!!  Also how is O'dells? Dad how is school going?? Any good players in any of your classes?? Love ya dad!

Hey Y'all!

      Okay well my week has been awesome so far and we are setting dates and just having a good time with it all!  On may 16th a Lady named Samara Hall is getting baptized and she has been investigating since November and she just decided that she is ready and she had some concerns and we answered them and she is excited to feel the spirit and be baptized.  Also Erik's date got moved to the 2nd of May because he got called into CQ (Army term that i know nothing about) so he has to wait one more week, but he will be baptized.  

Mom it was good to hear from ya i am glad that you were able to help Brett out and are helpping Sean, Chris, Jordon, Dillon and Colton get out here and do there work.  You guys rock and are so great to my friends they really should have been nicer to ya, haha.  I will print some pictures out today and send them with the tape thingy. Okay?  Also thanks for the Mona vie mom and Dad its a good one i like it.  

Brett i hope your likin the MTC you will like the field even more its really better out here cause you get used to it and you start to love it.  Your such a good example to everyone budy you just keep on truckin okay i know you wont read this for a week but you can make it dude! I mean Elder you can make it, haha.  Mike i am not jealous of your time in the MTC just so ya know but i am jealous of your spanish speaking ability now.  Thats way awesome that your baptizing people you will find a lot of sucess with Hispanics out there cause they are super humble.  Good luck man  you will do awesome!  

Dad thanks for the Mona Vie again its really good i like it.  Thanks for the email and the updates and yes i still bike a lot ha and it wont be very cool when my pants dont fit cause you will have to pay for new ones!! Haha so dont hope my legs get that big.  We get a fair amount of refferals and we do get a lot of cold contacts as well i think that only like 3-4 people i have baptized we actually knocked into most of them are refferals cause thats when people are interested.  Me and elder bagley are doing good he is from kearns/ West jordan, he doesnt know the batemans or the wolfgrahms, i already asked him.  And yes we get along.  P-day we normally get together and do some activity like basketball or football then we e-mail shop and write letters or whatever we want really.  P-days are awesome they are a milestone each week.  

Jenny thanks for the letters you sent me i realy like them and its really good to hear from ya. Thank you and good luck in Kentucky.  Jill thanks for the letter i did have time to read it all but thanks i will write you a letter after i read it so thanks again Jill.

 

Love y'all

Elder Walker!!

P.S. I Love you Colton
