Yea i guess some moms called and were worried. I knew you didn't. Or at least hoped... ha ha... Well I'm glad to here that Tell is about to leave. I think Evan is in the MTC now. Cool. I'm so proud of my friends. They've been probably the biggest influence in my life. Ha ha that's the funniest thing I've heard about Gan. Oh man he better not be getting a big head already! ha ha That a boy, i knew he'd be a chick magnet! I've taught him well! ha ha.... He really had no chance, having the uncles he does.... Well this week was OK.. we didn't work for half of it, because my comp has a cold. Lousy excuse..... But yea he is bout to go home. I kinda feel for him, i think he is nervous... I know i will be.. Talk about awkward.... Well nothing big this week. Except the Scottish man i almost fought turned out to be a really nice man. Our land lord took him to court, and filed a complaint for us so we had to go settle that. I just talked to him calmly and settled everything fine. He called me a Pleasant young man ha ha. The next day we took him cookies, and he invited us to dinner! crazy huh... He is getting sued for 100,000 pesos though and getting kicked out of his apartment for what he did to the Landlord. just goes to show you anger gets you no where and ruins everything! ...Yea i took out 54 dollars the other day cuz i had to buy jaces and dads Water buffalo horn belts... I got them both size 40 hope they fit... I am looking for a cool gift for Gan. What is he interested in right now besides football? cuz they have no football stuff here.I'll probably get him some native stuff... anyways family,,, i hope all is going well i hope that your reading your scriptures. I'm now in Alma again i love the Book of Mormon its amazing! Everyday i pray that what i'll read i'll be able to share with someone. So far its worked about every time. I got to share Alma 36:3 with a girl who got pregnant out of wedlock yesterday. It was awesome, i could see the shame and regret in her eyes. And i knew that scripture could help her. Because its helped me so much in times of trials. When she read it she couldn't finish it because she was crying. Its a really good scripture. I knew she didn't need to hear that what she had done was a sin, that she needed to repent. She needed the comfort that God still loved her and always will love her. I think or hope she felt that yesterday.... Well fam. thats a short story for you all. I love you and hope your doing well... Elder Walker

Stop worrying I'm ok.. i told dad, the only thing that happened to me when the typhoon hit was my laundry got wet on the clothes line. It made me mad, but that's it..... I still have the same comp. Ill let you know when that changes. haha.... Um I actually did not know that they had moved. Cool though. I hope it makes them happier! funny they moved into your ward again. They followed the Smiths haha.... Well This morning i have a story... I almost fought a Scottish man. We were playing some church music on our CD player and it really wasn't loud at all. But he came over screaming the F bomb and this and that. Kicking our gate. Until i finally came down from upstairs wondering what all the commotion was. When i met a red faced Scott at the door. I couldn't help but laugh at him. I was just smiling ear to ear dying laughing. Which wasn't the best idea. I was very angry on the inside, for him accusing us instead of politely asking to turn it down. but i remembered the counsel President Monson gave yesterday. SO i just laughed it off.... Tonight we plan on taking him a gift of some sort. Then giving him a Book of Mormon. Its really the only thing that can bring a person of that kind of anger to peace. ...This week i went to an island and went on splits I had to give a baptismal Interview to a man. He was 27 and married, When i asked him if he had had a homosexual relationship he told me yes. I was dumbfounded. I didn't know how to respond. Talk about awkward. Cuz he had a really strong testimony. He was also the most honest person I've met. Turns out he is able to get baptized anyway cuz it was in high school and president approved it. But yea my mission is full of awkward experiences like the time i asked the hugely pregnant lady how far along she was, and she replied she wasn't prego. She just had a big tummy. .... awkward. Needless to say i didn't go back to that house. haha... well those are my stories for the day.. I hope you all watched General Conference. It was amazing. Especially Elder Hollands talk. I found alot of inspiration in all of it... Well i love you all .... hope your ok... Elder Walker

Oct.4th

hey all is well here. Nothing major. No flooding in our area.... It sucked on Thursday though, a girl in our Zone is from Samoa and she found out here Grandmother died of a sickness the other day. We went and gave her a blessing of comfort. Then right afterwards the mission president texted us and told us to tell her he country had just been hit by a Tsunami. She was a wreck after that. Talk about bad timing. She didn't really show her sadness though she tried her hardest to keep smiling. So if you could include her in your prayers that'd be cool. Well I just hit the year mark. Didn't feel like i thought it would feel. nothing extraordinary happened. Just a normal day. We found some good investigators the other day. I found out a good way to get my companion to work. I just invite the ward missionaries over at the time we are supposed to work. So when he sees them it compels him to work! its finally turning out to be an ok transfer. Well this morning we smelled something awful in our bathroom, it turns out the two rats we have been trying to catch both got caught on our sticky pad and died in our attic. Which was awful. But that's about all the exciting news i have for you. I know two dead rats isn't that exciting or spiritual but its all i got. sorry.... Oh I've started reading the BoM again. We have a challenge to finish before the year is over, it will be easy. We are marking every time it mentions Christs name or a reference to him. And things like that its really awesome! i recommend it to you all. I sent some letters to Gan and Adi. And bishop. hopefully you'll get them soon. Well fam i love you Thanks for your prayers and support. Elder Walker
