Sister Walker's Fort Collins Mission Adventures

Week 13 Hello Everyone! First of all Merry Christmas!  I hope you all had a great one!  Mine was amazing! We went to an old folks home and sang Christmas songs to them  and it was way fun.  They loved it and were so grateful.  Also I got to talk to my family!  It was so good to see and talk to them!  I miss them a lot.  Our mission president gave us permission to watch The Best Two Years, which is a movie about missionaries.  We got to do that at the Katz’s house, who are these really rich people that have a theater room! It was so cool! We also got to have zone conference  on Friday  which was super fun! We did a white elephant gift exchange and I ended up with a football sippy cup! Today we had district pday and it was so fun! We played basketball and soccer and zombies, which is a tag game with nerf guns! It was awesome! It snowed so much here this week! It was crazy! On one of the days it was so bad that we weren'...

Week 12 Hello! It's been a great week! Time has gone by so fast! It's already almost Christmas! Sister Francom went home this week, which was super sad! I learned so much for her!  Now I am companions with Sister Coder who is also from Oregon, and she knows my cousins!  She is super sweet!  Everyone calls her Snow White because she literally acts like a princess!  We are covering the YSA and 3rd ward so that's been pretty crazy!  Sundays are the craziest because 3rd ward has church at  9:00  and the YSA has church at  11:00  so we have to run back and forth! In the 3rd ward we found a new investigator named Cory!  She is so amazing!  She is so prepared and ready to receive the gospel.  She is on date to be baptized on January 6 th  and I am so excited!   It will be my first baptism! She has four kids ages 13,8,6 and 3.  The 13 year old, Alanna, wants to get baptized also, so that's amazing! The...

Week 11 Hello! It's been a great week! It went by so fast! Crazy story… we do service at a food bank called Joshua’s and this week when we were there the BBC came and did a story on poverty in America and filmed us helping people! So we are going to be on the news in England! Hit me up when I'm famous! Haha just kidding!  Another crazy story, on Friday the Elders who live three houses down from us were waiting outside our apartment for us. Then told us they needed some advice, then proceeded to tell us they got in a fight and one of them, Elder Brunner, had a gash on the side of his head! They were wondering if they should go to the hospital… ya, we told them they should! It was crazy!   We went on exchanges this week which was so fun! I went with Sister Clark and the people we ate dinner with had a stuffed bear that the dad had shot, haha! We also saw some beautiful lights! Also she let me drive! I miss driving so much!  Also sad day, Sister Francom leaves ...
