Hello family, Hope you guys are having fun in the wilderness or cabins or whatever you guys are doing. Ryan, congratulations on making show choir and some other choir. What, were there like 6 guys that tried out. Just kidding, but have fun singing. The rest of the family, cuando no tienes ni idea de lo que hacer, recuerda a matar dos pajados con una pierda. Well, my week ended great. My new companion Elder Dias arrived Saturday night, so we really only had Sunday to work together. But I already know that he is exactly what I and this area needed. He´s great. He´s had 7 gringo companions, so he knows how to work with them and is really americanized, unlike my trainer (I was his first white companion). By the way, I heard my trainer really isn´t working at all and is very trunky or homesick. No surprise there. But really, with this change comes a fresh, new start with a new companion and a new me. If repentance means a change in heart, thoughts, and actions, then I suppose I´m repenting with this new companion. I´ve regained my purpose as a missionary y estoy feliz. I worked with the members this week and they and the bishop are starting to trust us again. They´ve had many bad experiences with missionaries and what happened a couple weeks ago didn´t really help. So mother´s day in Bolivia was yesterday. It turns out that last minute shopping for your loved ones is a universal concept. The streets were packed in the center of the city and it took a couple hours longer to get to the zone leaders house to pick up my companion on Saturday. We also had ward conference yesterday which was good. Let´s see, what else is going on here... I noticed that my spanish was a lot better when my new companion arrived. ummm, the weather, it´s hot in the sun, but cold in the shade. Well it appears I really have nothing else to talk about. Here´s what I learned in my studies. I was studying in the D&C´s while reading the BOM in Spanish (by the way, you should be on page 138... remember, 8 pages a day. yeah, you guys probably forgot). More specifically in D&C 137:10, which has one of the most beautiful doctrines in the gospel. The Lord takes many away, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, the sorrows, and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on Earth. How great! This also suggests that those of us here need the tests and trials of this life. We still have to overcome the world to become like those little children in their pure and spotless state. I don´t like to compare, but it bothers me when some other religions teach that if infants are not Baptized, they are damned. What kind of loving God would do that? Instead, they are alive in Christ! Te quiero, Elder Walker
