Well this is weird. At the end of my
mission, I`m getting more letters than ever! Looks like everyone is
trying to make me trunky. Pues, It`s not going to work! I have more
energies than ever and I`m doing work. Just ask my companion. hehe.
Thank you for your prayers! Like Pres. Monson said,
you can really feel them. Even when my body feels tired, I get a
spiritual boost that pumps up my energies. I know it`s all the prayers
around the world. Even when they prayed for the missionaries during the
conference, I could feel the spirit inside of me. It was as if someone
else was inside.
About conference. I really like Uckdorf, Nelson, and
Bednar`s talk! Exclamation point. Hollands` was nice for the psychology
that I`ll get back into. The gospel really has the best psychology!
Exclamation point.
Just like you guys ask me questions and tell me
things to write about, I would like to hear from you guys in your
letters, Who are you teaching or helping come to Christ? I would like
specific names and details please. Just like Elder Ballard said, every
member should give AT LEAST one reference to the missionaries before
Christmas, or what he meant to say, before Elder Craig Walker comes
home.
We did service for Rosario, the woman who I talked
about 2 letters ago who would only talk about how blue my eyes were. We
used a machete for the service project. No mom, I won`t cut myself with
that ``knife´´. We cut thorns, vines, palm trees, grass, but mostly
espinas. And we did it all with a machete. I also brought a rake and a
shovel to the service but Rosary said, ``we don`t need those, they
aren`t machetes. Oh what do I know, Gringos work harder and smarter than
us bolivianos.´´ jaja. We ended up using everything. During the service
she kept saying things like ``I heard the mormons are really good
people´´ ``I did have that dream 3 years ago when God told me it was
true´´ and how much she didn`t like her church. She even said she might
change, refering to our church. She`s a little crazy and needs a
husband, but she`s also a child of God who is looking for the peace in
this world.
We got 2 baptisms this week, Felix and Alex, the
ones that I talked about from my last letter. This is probably the
reason why I`m not getting trunky yet, too much work to do... I`ll send
you Photos the next week. Their parents came. I think it might be a step
back to activation in the church. Felix wanted his dad to baptize him,
but his dad kept saying that he wasn`t worthy. He said he would have to
be active in order to baptize (even though that`s not specifically
true). But like I said, it`s a step towards Christ because he felt
pretty bad about not baptizing his son. We`ll see progress soon.
Well my 6 pack hurts. Too much ab ripper x. Take care, love,
Elder Walker
