Spirituality for this week!!!!! I chose a new chinese name and it is: 樂輝 so that is my first name (: it is pronounced.....​Lè Huī and basically it is like happiness being spread to the world. As i go to Taiwan, I have the faith that God will bless me to learn the language and help the people. This is His work. I just pray I won't get in the way. Read 3 Nephi 12:14-16 and Matt 5:14-16 (: one of my favorites!!!
JAI YOU!!! (:(: 
loves,

"I KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS, EVERYDAY. LOVE THIS WATCH!"

ok, YALL  I just have to start of with saying, ONE MORE WEEKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. our "investigator" is getting baptized this saturday, so cool huh? Wow, she was golden, she just wanted her family to be together for ever! We taught about the priesthood and baptism and how she can do work for her mother and then she was just like, this is what I want and she wanted to be baptized right then... but we were like... we still have more stuff to teach you first!! haha, but she has been coming to church each week which is totally awesome. One miracle that happened with her was that we were talking about repentance and we could tell that she had a hard time forgiving someone.... sister jex was reading in 2 nephi for personal study and she told me about a scripture she came across that when she told me, we both knew that it was the exact scripture we needed to share with Lin JieMei and so we told her and it was an answer to her prayer! So cool! from now on she has been reading the Book of Mormon and finding out revelation for herself. wow.
2. I see Elder (Andrew) Jones all the time here! So fun, you know you get to be here for so long, that it took me a second to realized that it was him! I will get a picture and send it... my camera has been dead though.... thats ok because I got new batteries. today and now it works
3. oh ya, my watch has the day of the week and the date on it, so now i can live in the present (: its cool.
4. isn't this the most candid shot you have ever seen?

















5. got my flight plans!!! leaving july 29th at 6:30 in the morning for the SAlt Lake Airport... there for a couple of hours... then straight to TOKYO!!! then to TAIBEI!!! so exciting! i am so ready to leave this place.....



6. This is sister Seaman... a very special friend! she is going to Lithuania and she was so good to be sister jex and i's older "sister" we always had the funniest conversations while trying to brush our teeth!

















7. we got to hear from TC christenson just yesterday (directer of 17 miracles and like every other lds movie) it was so good. 
8. God loves us all. And blesses us so much! We just need to trust Him and follow His commandments.

LOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(:(:(:(:

SO YA, ANOTHER WEEK. STILL HERE!

Hey so good news, haven't died yet.
Just thought i'd keep you updated.
i, like you, are waiting until i get to Taiwan. and actually have cool adventures to write about.
LOVE YOU ALL <3

Spiritual thought for the week: KNOW YOUR PURPOSE, BE BOLD and EXPECT MIRACLES.

We all have hard times in our life and we all have things that are hard but well, God knows us. and Jesus Christ will help us see ALMA 7 (: 
HANG IN THERE. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON.

Love, Sister Walker

ps in church the other day, president woodfield was giving examples of enduring to the end... and having charity and forgiving... a grandfather. what a direct message to me. love you and i know that through christ's atonement all our pains will be taken away (:

our new sisters!! we got 50 new mandarins total... but only 4 sisters in our zone!

another picture of our adorable district...  (:

HEY PEOPLE IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD!

OK, so ya no time like always.... (:
This week has been good, but i am freaking out to go to TAIWANNN!!!!(:

1. we got to clean the crystal from the chandeliers and wall sconses in the sealing rooms! so cool! we got to disassemble... then reassemble and it was awesome!!! and the elders got to rip out carpet out of the celestial room and pick the glue up with these spears! wow, it was intense.

2.Chinese is coming....and thank you so much for the prayers!!(: and yup, the gospel is all about stretching and i feel that EVERY SINGLE DAY (:

3. OK, 4th of JULY was the best day ever!!!! how was yours? I want to hear all about it!!!! we got to have a really fun musical and talk devotional about liberty and how cool it is that the Lord was preparing this land for the restoration of the gospel, i am so grateful for the united states of america!! and then we got to watch 17 miracles... which i love that movie (:(: and then we got magnum ice cream bars which were really yummy and watch the fireworks from the stadium of fire.... of course behind the fence of the mtc but anyway... we were all really excited to stay up late and watch them! we went to bed finally at 11:30 and we were all dead the next day, but that is ok (: one thing was cool... was that we were all watching the fireworks and we just started singing the national anthem, it was cool to hear us all (:

4. It is starting to heat up. it is getting nice and warm here and it is beautiful, but i am pretty sure i am going to die. in taiwan. for real.

5.i am no longer sister training leader... those assignments get passed on every 3 weeks... but we get 50 new mandarins this week and sister jex and i are going to try and be their best friends, even though we no longer have that leadership role(: our whole district except for 2 people are going to taibei and the other district that came in the same day as us are going to taibei too!!!(: so it is a huge taiwan party, otherwise... there are a lot of other mandarin speaking missions..... taichung, new york, australia (sydney, melbourne and brisbane), scotland/ireland, california, new zealand, texas, canada, hong kong, etc!!!(:

6. I BELEIVE IN A GOD OF MIRACLES. WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS US. THIS WORK IS REAL AND IT CHANGES LIVES.

haven't started counting down the days yet. but i am kinda freaking out. 3 weeks left (:
love you!!!!!!!!
