First Baptism

YEs i loved conference. It was Amazing... There were some pretty stern warning given. Especially the one at the end by President Monson himself. About Pornography. He is so right. Porn does destroy the soul. Its not a maybe it might destroy the soul, but the definite WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL. Ive seen it happen many times on my mission now. Porn is sold at every dvd shop here. RIght now i have a very close friend in the mission struggling with it. It breaks my heart that a messenger of the lord could give in to such a temptation and ive seen it ruin his mission so far. It is such a dangerous habit and ruins lives i hate it!!!! anyways My companion didnt get sent home. President thought he would give them a second chance. i dont agree with his decision but i accept it and uphold it. But i have another story for you... so the day of transfers we came back.and i was expecting to work hard so i took my companion to all the people i knew. When we came home at night there was someone in our apartment. It turned out to be other missionaries. they told us they were sleeping over. but the next morning my companion and one of the other elders woke me up at 5 and told me they were leaving and left me with the other comp. Well the other comp decided he wanted to skip areas and go somewhere else. But i wasnt having any of it. I told him off, but he left without me. So i sat there contemplating what i should do. i prayed about it and decided to go text the Assistants to the Pres. so i texted and eventually the lambsons came and picked me up. I ended up staying at the mission home ( which wasnt bad cuz they have hot water and amazing food) but anyways the next day all 3 showed up and we had interviews with president. because they all went and visited there girlfriends. yea it really makes me wonder what the freak people come on missions for! i mean honestly. why would you come on a mission if you just want the same things as before your mission. I mean honestly the reason i came here was to never do the things i did before. and to serve teh Lord...... anyways im very thankful for the strength i receive from my family and from the Lord. Without it i couldnt take it here. Anyways mom thanks for the journal it was perfect and teh scriptures too. i probably wont use them though i dont think cuz i already have my other ones marked how i like them. but thanks so much... i loved the candy!!! it was amazing!!! i hope you all get better and get rid of your cold. I didnt think that i would ever get a cold here becasue its so hot. but then i realized that colds are a sickness not because of the weather... yea im an idiot.... But the other day i had a cool expeirence we were teaching out recent converts and it was a black out. and out of the darkness came a 28 year old man. he asked if he could join. he was way good with the questions and at the end of the lesson asked if he could be baptised. haha it was cool. of course he has to come to church 4 times and learn the lessons. but he is way cool. he just got out of jail for smoking weed. But really wants to change his life... so if we can help that will be awesome.... anyways fam i gotta go i love you all. Thank you so much for your prayers they are much needed.. i miss you all.... gotta run... Elder Walker... love you
