November 23, 2015 An Awesome Week!

Hey y'all this week was awesome. We got to give a blessing and we had a fireside on Sunday it was super awesome this guy named brother saddleback from Canada shared his story of his kids his one son got hit and killed by a drunk driver when he found out he immediately went and prayed and got a super strong impression to forgive the person who killed his son. He said "I had the audacity to ask when?" He said the answer came immediately and very strongly, the Holy Ghost said immediately. It was an emotional roller coaster through the course of the night of the fireside.

We went on a camp out and it was sick!!! We got to go to a fire tower and climb it it is 102 ft!!! It was scary because the wind was blowing and I'm not in shape like I used to be!

Well anything else? Hmmmm oh yeah we had zone conference it was awesome we learned what appropriate ways to talk to the opposite gender and we had a killer training about what lack I yet and I found what I lack so I am trying to work on that.

Well that's all for now

Talk to y'all later! ~Elder Walker

The awesome scary view from the top of fire tower!

October 26, 2015 Poetry and Mission Life

I thought I'd start off with a quote I came up with!

Do not fellowship the darkness, but harbor light within your soul.

I wrote a poem about the Savior

Savior

By Elder Walker

His body broken and torn apart

He bled from every pore

Showing love for all mankind

And the pains he meekly bore

His robe of red and his crown of thorns

Beaten, smitten, spit on, and killed

Pain he felt that the human mind cannot comprehend,

He suffered and bled and endured to the end!

My savior! My Savior! I shall cry,

And tears will run down my face as I look toward the sky

Remember Him, Remember Him

He did so much for you and me

Our Savior our brother our friend he shall be

Remember Him, Remember Him

Yes remember all that he did

For he suffered and died

That we all may live

With our father who dwells on high.

Once again I'd just like to say through words I can describe better what I feel through writing. It captures human emotion.

Poetry

Elder Walker

Poetry is the essence of life

Through the rhythms, and rhymes, and word choice.

With each breath we take and each word we utter.

From paper and pen, to ink in a book, to the own sound of your voice.

'Tis truly touching the power of words and of writing and verse.

So poetry, Yes poetry it is the essence of life.

This week was soooo amazing I felt soooo close to my savior Jesus Christ!!! The spirit was soooo strong in our lessons. I made a cake for Darwyns wife Kelly's birthday. I also made my first tortillas. This week was good we had lots of lessons and got a new branch presidency. Guess what?!?! The first councilor is named Richard Brimhall and I did some family history and found out a lot about my ancestors on that side anyways me and him are 1st cousins 5 times removed. His grandpa 4 generations back and my grandpa 5 generations back are brothers he comes from Noah Brimhall and we come from George Washington Brimhall. George Washington Brimhall met up with his brothers who were headed to Zion and told them his wife had joined the strangites who believed in the Book of Mormon but are another church. She refused to go west with him so he left his home and his wife and children and headed west and met up with his brothers.

Hey y'all go on with life with a smile on your face and bring light

into people's life. :D
