  We had transfer calls this weekend. Things are not changing much. I'm still in Naches with Elder Bird.

     I would like to have the Christmas photo book. I am missing Y'all, but the work here is where I need to be (even if it sometimes sucks).

     The work here has been good. There are several people who are having a really hard time, and we're trying to work with them. It's been cool to see. This week we had several people bare their souls to us on the doorstep. It was really cool to see the spirit work through them and let us try and help them. 

     Thanks for the email.

Love,

     Things are a little better. I really appreciated the advice email. Thanks for that. 

     That really sucks that you guys hit a deer. That's good though that nobody got hurt. 

     This week has gone by pretty quick. We had a ward Christmas party on the 7th. That was pretty sweet. We saw some people we don't normally see and met a few new people. We also got to go to a Christmas nativity thing which was super awesome because an elder who I was in the MTC with (Elder Thompson) got moved down here to our zone, so we got to hang with them for a little bit.  

     Thanks for the email, the prayers and the support. 

Love,

     That's good that Abby is doing better, and that Jamie is doing well in school too. That's nuts that there have been 3 car incidents since I've been gone.

     The work here has been pretty good. We were able to start teaching 3 new people this week. We also had the Christmas gathering for all the southern zones on Saturday, so that was tons of fun.  Other than that it has been pretty normal: the companionship still sucks but not quite so bad right now.  I don't know what time we will be doing the whole Skype thing, but I believe that somebody will be getting in contact with you about that sometime this week, so watch out for that. I'll try and make sure its after 1. 

     Thanks for the email,

Monday, December 24, 2018 - Christmas Eve

     That's good that everyone is out for the Christmas break. Let me know how the food turns out. 

     That's cool that Abby and James are now official, and pretty funny that they got stock in Hideaway Valley--though I don't know how that happens in a 4-wheel drive truck.

     We finally got some snow the past few days. Its kinda pitiful, but I'm not complaining since I have to be out in it. 

     I'm looking forward to tomorrow too. It'll be good to talk to Y'all. hopefully that all goes off without a hitch. 

     The work here has been pretty good. We got to talk to a few cool people, and we've got a few new people that are showing some promise. We also went delivering cookies that we made yesterday, so that was fun. We were talking with a guy last night; he's super cool, and he gave us each a silver coin (bullion) as a Christmas present, it was pretty sweet. Grandpa Steed and him would get along pretty well.
     We had a Scandanavian Christmas feast with the Oja family, complete with re-enacting the nativity. It was great.

     Thanks for the email. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow.

Love,

Elder Walker
