Chelsee Mission Update October 16, 2008

Chelsee still sounds just as enthused and excited about serving as ever! Here's some highlights from her most recent letter:

  • For Family Home Evening, our family prepared a "Greenie Package" for Chelsee. She loved it. This is what she said, "Sister Egan loved it too!! We had a bit of a peanut fight in our car! Um... yeah, those things don't vacuum up too well!" (she's talking about the packing peanuts)
  • Exciting news: "Katrina and Rodney were baptized and the baptism was fabulous! It was incredible to see them come out of the water and shine!"
  • A little road trip: " Sister Egan got permission from the AP’s to attend a baptism in Vegas so she and I went up to Vegas on Saturday to go to a baptism of an 83 year old and her grandson. Another beautiful baptism and it goes to show that you are never too old to accept the fullness of the gospel."
  • Chelsee got to see the Las Vegas Temple for the first time and thought it was beautiful.
  • She says it got cold over the weekend and that she's going to have to get some warmer clothes to make it through the winter. (winter clothes were NOT on her packing list) However, I can promise it was not any where near as cold as Rexburg!!! (smile)
  • She and Sis. Egan picked up 4 new investigators over the weekend.
  • Loved her Zone Conference
  • For Preparation Day, they visited "Oakman" which is a little ghost town / cowboy paradise / mining town.
  • She claims she's happy and healthy and loves sharing the Gospel.
Way to GO Sis. Walker!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Walker Family, hope you don't mind if I check on your family once in a while to see how you guys are doing. How wonderful for Chelsee to have all those experiences. Lots of love, The Bayles Family
