Well family, i got emergency transfer out of my Threesome. I guess an Elder hurt his knee getting into a jeepney and cant work anymore so i took his spot. President Smith Interviewed me to see if i wanted to go Ligit senior companion, but i think he sensed my nervousness and is waiting,, phhhew, so right now my companiion is a HUGE Tongan. He is from New Zealand his name is Elder Finau he is really cool. But he breaks the rules alot.And i didnt come here to break rules so things are gonna have to change. But he loves to lift and my new house has a gym right by it so we lifted the first day i arrived in my New area, Pili, by the way. But wow im sore right now. We did chest and i got 205 for 5 without a spotter so it hasnt left me completely yet, im alright strong still. But yea he is ok, im really kinda depressed though because i was just gettting to love my last area and the people and my companions, it was the coolest companionship. I miss it. But yea, other than that nothing new, just a new companion and area. But things are looking up we had an investigator come to church and she says she wants to be baptised. But yea family nothing real great here. Tell Jace i said happy birthday, i have a hammock for him, only i havent sent it to him. and tell everyone i said hi i love them. i was playing rugby with my comp and some other poly's today. Umm it is hot season right now, so its just really really hot now. haha but it still rains sometimes. Anyways hope all is well at home. I Love you all and miss you. Oh yea if you can will you try and get ahold of Emily Sanchezes email for me, she is my friend from college if you dont remember. Anyways thanks a ton. all is well here. I love you Elder Walker

First off let me tell you about my transfer. Im in Bato. on the mainland. Nathan Adair served in this same area. I met a family he baptized and talked to them alot. Im in a threesome. Meaning i have two companions. One is Elder Johnson from idaho, he is going home in a month and a half. The other is Elder Gless from Mesa az. He has only been here a month and a half. Anyways the older one elder johnson is actually companions with a member in our branch so me and elder Gless the new guy are companions. I am the senior companion. Meaning i teach the lessons and find the people. Because elder Gless is like every brand new missionary he cant speak, and is afraid. Im not really sure what President smith was thinking when he decided this. But im called of god to be where im at. anyways it will be an interesting transfer. But its already been a blast. I love teaching. Its so fun. And i love my new companions. The lord blessed me with my last companion. Forcing me to learn the language. so now i can speak comfortably. Anyways, have the figured out what is the matter with desirae? that is scary!.... ummm. dad thanks for the letter. i love hearing from you. its my favorite.
