Walker's Week #103

Hey family, whats up? So this week was super good. We had an activity. We had everyone act about a prophet. So the young men did it about Joseph Smith, the young women about Adam, the primary about Noah, high priests did Moses, elders quorum did Abraham, relief society did Enoc, and the bishopric did the time of Jesus. The best part of all is that we had two families of investigators come. Actually, they got there before all the members, because they were all late. But we are working on that. 

Walker's Week #102

Hey whats up? So funny story, usually to remember dates I put them in my agenda. So this last week I wrote all of the dates until Friday, then I looked to make sure I wrote them right. So I realized that I was a day behind so I skipped the 1st and wrote the second and continued. So I was just kind of chilling saturday and someone asked me how old I was. I answered 20 like usual, but then I realized that it was almost my birthday so I asked my companion what the date was and it was the second. I had completely forgotten my birthday. But oh well, I now can drink legally in the states. Woot. So this week the stake president came and had a reunion with the ward council, and pretty much told us that we don´t know how to work. So yeah. I don´t know I´m pretty sure everyone is trying, they just aren´t thinking, but we´re working on that.

Walker's Week #101

Hey guys whats up? So this week was cool, so i´m right next to santa ana, so really they are in my district. So this last week dennis baptized his brother. So that was pretty cool. So ciudad colon is a super super small city that doesn´t have buses, so we walk a lot. My companion is super cool, he doesn´t like talking that much so our house is pretty quiet. So the ward I´m in about two or three years ago had about 130 people that went to church and now were lucky if there are 60, and every week its worse. So we try to have a lot of lessons with the members.

So there is a kid in my zone that played rugby for highland and got invited to go and play for byu and stuff. So today he taught us how to play rugby and really I have decided that latinos can´t play anything that isn´t soccer. No matter how many times you explain they just don´t understand.

Walker's Week #100

Hey guys whats up? So I got changed. I am now in ciudad colon, which is right next door to santa ana. Yep my companion's name is Elder Marques. He´s a mexican. So today I went and visited Magaly and her family, they're super awesome. So i have no idea what to write. I have no idea what is going on here so I´ll write more next week.

Walker's Week #99

Walker's Week #98

Hey guys, how is everything going? Everything here is good. I don´t really understand new years. Everyone acts like something has changed, but really I feel exactly the same as the day before. But everyone did get drunk and really being missionary we really couldn´t do anything, but everything is good. So courtney do you have a car or are you just going to take the bus and walk to everything?

Walker's Week #97

Hey hows it going? So Christmas is a little different here, its more of a big party than anything. The best way I can describe its like a new years party. Everyone the twenty fourth waits up till midnight and they all hug each other ask for forgiveness for anything they did during the year, start crying a little because they're all drunk. Fireworks going off all over the place. Yep the best. I think its better the way we do it go to sleep early wake up late. Yep a lot better, but the fireworks are nice.
