Wow thats a funny story!!! Sounds like dads deer fighting one.
Well i had something else you could put in my box but i forgot.
So i decided you need to get a Gmail email account, so i can send you pictures. Apparently your inbox is too full for me to send you pictures. So you need to get an inbox with more storage space. I sent you a bunch. Including a picture of me in a coconut tree. I only made it half way, because they are nearly impossibel to climb unless your a limber 120 pound filipino with feet made of cow hide leather!!! For soem reason you have to climb them barefoot. It makes no since to me, but it sure hurts.
Well we finally finished off all the zone conferences, this week we will be going to Masbate to do apartment checks. We are traveling witht he lambsons. Should be fun, he has a temper. But no with me, he blows up on alot of people. But not with me, i think he likes me more.
Well Please tell me about Stevens Funeral. I'd like to know. Please tell Kelly i love her and her boys.
Well Family i have to be going now. I love you all

Wow that is one seriously cool story!!!
I have nothing like that. But i did try and climb a coconut tree on saturday. Which is alot harder than the way awesome filipinos make it look. You have to do it barefoot for some reason and it has no limbs so you just shimmy your way up. They are so fast, i made it about half way and couldnt make it any farther. I plan on doing it before the mission is over though!!!
I told Dad the story of our service project on saturday. Man i love to work like that, i dont think i'll ever be able to be a doctor or anything in an office or anything that doesnt involve me working and sweating and feeling accomplished. I'm thinking i'll end up being in construction, which is fine with me. I love it. Nothing else makes me feel so good. Besides football, and thats not really a career i'm qualified for.
Well we had a lot of zone conferences this week. We didnt really get to work in our area, becuase we were staying over in other areas and zones. But we did have 5 investigators come to church, and slowly but surely we are winning the respect of the Bishop. I honestly cant wait to become the lead AP. The way my comp does things just doens make since in my head, mostly because it revolves around what other people think and see in him. I'm not a very fond person of vanity. I'm not saying i dont like him, because i love him. I'm just saying its getting hard to tolerate doing things so other people can see us, instead of doing things because they need to be done!
Anyways i'll try and send that package today. I hope i can i might need like 30 more dollars in my account. Apparently they are 5000 pesos to send. Thats like asking for my right arm! anyways family i love you. I'm so happy bryson in going on a mission. He is going to love it! I'm happy you went to the temple too! I miss it sooo bad. And yes i hope you can come back here with me next year too!
love you all

Hello,
First off, WOW i had no idea we were Cherokee, i can officially say i am Indian, i always knew i could tell the time by looking at the sun, and could smell deer from 3 miles. But i never knew it was because i was part Indian!!!
I think you should defintitly get this DNA test. I wanna know who our ancestors are.
Well i took out 2000 pesos today, preparing to send this package i've been telling you all about for a year! haha i'm such a slacker. But seriously, i'm going to a place called cagsawa tommorrow to buy your other little nicknacks then i'll send it on monday. Or maybe sooner.
I'll be on the road this entire week, going to zone conferences. It should be fun, but tiring at the same time, I miss sleeping in my own bed when we do road trips.
Hey are we going on a vacation when i get home? The bantog family wants me to come back here and baptize Dayday in july. We went to their house for dinner. Dayday knows how to speak tagalog now. She used to only speak Bicol. And Nanay still calls me her son. When i got out of the van, the first thing she says is "AYYYYY ANAK KO!!!!" or in english, "AYYYYY MY SON"!!!! haha she is soo cool. She cooked me my favorite dish, adobo with pineapples. Which is a big sacrafice for them, because they have no money at all anymore. Sometimes they can't make it to church because they have no money. So them killing one of their chickens to make me adobo is a big thing!!! I'm sooo grateful for them! Such amazing people. I might have to steal dayday when i go home.
Here is something interesting, did you know they can induce rain by putting salt in the clouds? They call it cloud seeding. They did it here the other day. Because we are in an El Ninyo, or in other words, Really big drought. It wont be over till july, so everyones rice crops are dying. So they are putting salt in the air to make it rain. Crazy huh, look it up its true i promise.
Well i gotta go, i love you. And am very proud that your still reading your BoM. I played basketball today, and was pretty sure my lungs and heart were going to burst, i havent played sports in a really long time, Im not gonna be able to feel my legs tomorrow, or worse, i'll be able to feel all the soreness.
I love you all

letters from Feb, catching up
Hey mom, i got robbed last night. They took my cell phone and my flash drive. So do you think you could put like 100 bucks in my account so i can buy a new flash drive and maybe send this package home to you? They didnt steal your pearls or any of that stuff. so i'll still send that package this week.
Well gotta go...
Elder Walker
Hey, thanks so much for the money. I was home when it happened. The guy came in our room and took my cell phone from by my head. Thats a little creepy. But they didnt take my wallet or my camera cuz i left them at the mission office. I cant thank you enough for the money it was much needed. I love you so much. Please give me details why tell is home? that broke my heart. I love that kid with my entire soul!!!
Elder Walker
Hey,
Well i dont think justin is home yet, i think he comes home this week. Thats nuts i cant believe all my friends are home except for me. Crazy!
Thank you soooooooo much for the money you all have put in. It was much needed. The robber didnt take much, just my brand new cell phone and my flash drive and watch. And my keys.
Its been a crazy week for crime. The church got broken into and also the stake president got robbed. All in all the church or people from the church have gotten robbed 5 times this week. Crazy huh?
Well we had some crazy cool teaching this week. Yesterday especially, it really felt like the Lord guided our work. We taught alot of lessons and in each one i felt the investigator really learned from it. Yesterday was a really cool day, Elder Teh and Elder Augustin came from Manila, they are General Authorites they reorganized our stake yesterday. It was way cool because i got to see teh Bantog family, Do you remember them? From pili... Day Day was there it was soooooooooooooo coool i loved it. I took some pictures. It seriously made my heart swell knowing they were all still active. Jona is a mia maid president, and Nanay is a ward missionary. Her husband lost her job but she still goes to church, even though they have no money. They are so amazing. I also saw a family who i found when i was in Pili, they ended up getting baptized after i left! teh Sanchez family!!! that was cool too. It is awesome i love this work with all my heart! It is the best thing i've ever done in my life. I really dont want these next 7 months to go by fast. I hope they take another year!!!!
Well i gotta go. I love you and i am sooooo thankful i have such an amazing family. Dont worry about me. I love you
