"It is important to Do good, but we need to focus more on the Being good. We all need to make that inner change" 
-A quote from my aunt who posted on my facebook the other day. 

Today let us look at why this quote means so much to me!!! the other day I got in a car accident... That's new news ain't it!!! Well this is something very valuable I learned. You see I had always lived my life that "Image is everything, If I look good then it doesn't matter what I'm like on the inside.

View the image of this room which used to be exactly how I lived my life. You see I figured "No one saw the inside of my apartment so I didn't really care what it looked like. While this was the inside I made sure the outside looks flawless. I mean just look at this beauty!!!


But since the accident I've learned a very valuable lesson, It doesn't really matter what it looks like on the outside at all, what matters is whats on the inside! So to relate this back to the initial quote, we must remember that no matter how much we focus on the desire to "do good" we must never forget that we must BE GOOD. There is a fine line between showing that you are good and knowing within that you are Christlike. Strive in all things to be as Christ was!!!!

I never thought I'd be running out of ideas to write, but i've kinda recently hit a stumbling block. A goliath in my life. People help me. what do you want to hear about or see??? Your kind replies are well needed to fuel this blog to the next level!!!!

Another message from my mom read this and understand the power of prayer!!! I love Prayer!!

I know you realize just how blessed you really are.  I hope you realize that the entire world has rallied around you and Elder Corbridge in fasting and prayer.  I physically felt the sustaining peace and support of those prayers last week as we were getting ready for the wedding and so scared, but thankful about your condition.
So how are you really?  In church our prayer was that you have a full and complete recovery and you are able to continue with your mission responsibilities. 
Well of coarse I bore my testimony in church.  So did Brother Astle.  He was our high counsel representative.  He said that he has spent more time in the emergency room with you Mac then he has with his own kids!  He also testified of the power of the fast and said that you have an important mission here on earth. 
After the meeting a lady came up to me.  She said she was from Texas on vacation and she had been praying for you Elder Walker.  She was so happy to get your updates.  Yup, she is from the missionary moms group.  Elder Colbridges mom just joined the group too!  We are going to meet for lunch when Dad and I go to Utah and Idaho at the end of the month.
A couple of other faith promoting things:  Grandma Pahl was at home in Arizona and turned on the TV.  It was an evgelical minister, you know the kind that do those tv prayer shows.  She said there were two young missionaries from the LDS church who were involved in a terrible accident and to pray for thier recovery.  Grandma said that the show originated somewhere in Kentucky.  I have two Catholic friends.  One said she stayed up at night and said rosery for you.  Another did a morning mass in your honor. 
My point:  Prayer is universal.  Our kind Heavenly Father loves all of his children and allowed them to be touched by the needs of two servants of the Lord.  All denominations have joined in praying for you complete recovery.  Wow

So it's time to make a bad into a good. Today will be an email from my mother I feel that everyone could use. A little background. I was in a huge car accident while out here. I am all well and God has blessed me beyond belief. Here is the email from my mother.

"My Dear Son, In whom I am well pleased.  Words cannot express the gratitude that your dad and I  feel in our hearts for the love and protection granted you and Elder Corbridge during your car accident.  So my message for you and for those reading is Thank You.
First of all:  Thank you Elder Walker & Elder Corbridge for representing the Church of Jesus Christ with honor, diligence and obedience.
Thank you to the Elders in Louisville Kentucky mission who came so quickly to the hospital to give you a priesthood blessing.
Thank you to all those people who have fasted and prayed on your behalf and on behalf of all the sisters and elders in the world.  Their prayers have brought both physical and mental strength to both our families and to your own temporal body that survived such an ordeal.
Thank you to your mission president President McKee.  His Christ like service and father's love helped keep me and your dad from jumping on the next plane to Kentucky!
.
And most of all, thank you to our loving Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ. May you know that a miracle happened on a tiny highway in Kentucky when two representatives of the Lord were protected from major harms, and the miracles continue as their injuries heal.  I could have lost a son.  Our Heavenly Father did.  However this sacrifice was for us.  I know that is was through the atonement of our Lord and Savior that you were offered protection that extended beyond this earthly veil. 
May all who read this know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true.   Love, your mom"
