Tyson's Senior Prom

Well, since my 'baby' just went to his senior prom I guess that means that I'm officially old! Here's a few photos of Tyson and his date Ashante...

Chelsee Update

Sister Walker's letter home this week was full of newsy tidbits:

HeLlo heLLo HEllO!!!!!

I have had such a great week!!! Where to begin… Krystal was baptized on Saturday and it was awesome! The spirit was out of control! The change that took place in Krystal’s countenance was amazing! She looks and sounds like a whole new person now! Her dad came to her baptism and I think that it really touched him to see the support that his daughter had and the love that everyone there had for her.

On Sunday we got a whole new Bishopric in the Villa Bonita ward… get this, the new Bishop is only 34. I was shocked, I had no idea they were even thinking about hanging the Bishopric, but it is SO GOOD! Bishop Theriot will be so good for the ward. He is supper gung hoe for missionary work!

We had Easter dinner with a family in the Greenbriar ward. It was sooooo yummy!! Bro. Cooper is a chef and he made ham, mustard greens, sweet potatoes, home-made root beer, cornbread… oh my ever livin, I was in heaven!!!

On Monday we got a new car… I think ours was about to die or at least the breaks were about to die. So now we are driving a Mazda 3!

We started teaching a new family from Haiti, they are awesome, super religious and freaking amazing!

On Tuesday we set Vanessa for baptism for May 2nd. It’s about time!!

We finished up everything that we needed to do for Luis baptism this weekend (interview, program… etc.). He is still super excited for his baptism!

Yesterday we went to a funeral for a sister in the Villa Bonita ward. We helped prep the food and such. Remember how much I HATE funerals??? Well, I decided that I just needed to get over myself, especially since this was our second funeral this transfer, and be there for support and to answer questions! It was actually a very nice funeral service!

We talked to our investigator John about being baptized and he said that he would think about it. He is super busy right now and just needs to have the time to sit down and finish the lessons. Hopefully we can get that all worked out. He is basically already a member, he goes to church every Sunday and to all of the ward activities. He just needs to be baptized!

We had an awesome lesson with Treicy and she is still super excited about her baptism on May 9th!!!

Our lesson with Kelly last night was the bomb! She had questions about going to the highest glory of the Celestial Kingdom because she isn’t married. We did a lot of research before her lesson so that we would be able to answer her questions and I think we were able to. We shared with her D&C 76 51-70 something where it talks about the qualifications for getting into the Celestial Kingdom and we shared with her D&C 131 and parts of 32. We were able to help her realize that not everyone will get a chance to be married for time and all eternity in this life but we will have the Millennium and if she has the desire to be married and has the desire to enter into the highest glory of the Celestial Kingdom then she will have the opportunity to be married during the Millennium. We are so excited for her baptism on the 25th!!!

The Lord has truly blessed us the past couple of weeks. We have a baptism every weekend for the next 3 weeks and we had Krystal’s last week. That is the fuel that keeps us going!!!

Well folks, that is about all that is going on in the life of Sister Walker!! It is pretty much an AMAZING life!!! Keep sending the letters and the updates! I love to hear how everyone is doing! I love you SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!

Make good choices, don’t do drugs, be happy and remember that Jesus Loves YOU!

Happy Anniversary April 18

Can you believe it? Gyle and I have been married for 29 years!!! When did I grow up and when did I get so old???

Love you Sweetheart! Thanks for being mine and for 29 years of sharing our lives together!

Life / Easter / Wind

Just a few thoughts -

So - it's windy today (darn) that puts such a damper on outdoor Easter plans. It's not so much fun to hide Easter eggs outside when it's only 30 degrees! Makes me want to bundle up with a blanket and go take a nap!

Easter is tomorrow. I love it! That means new, fresh, clean, bright, happy, SPRING to me! The sun shines longer each day and I just feel like I have more energy!

But that's not what Easter is really all about - my testimony is made stronger as I understand more and more about the atonement and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for continued knowledge that I gain as I study the scriptures, attend my meetings, and find opportunities to learn.

And then... LIFE... Life is good! Experiences in life are amazing! I am ever so grateful for my family that makes my life complete!
