6th & final update from Portola, CA - Week 11

Hi Everyone!  Unfortunately we didn't get our weekly email update from Elder Walker today because he is on his way to the Netherlands!!  He flew out from the SLC airport this morning to Atlanta, GA and from there he should arrive in Amsterdam at 8:10 am their time, 12:10 am our time. 

These past couple of days I was fortunate enough to get some awesome pictures of Jerrick (excuse me, Elder Walker ;-) ) in Portola for the 4th of July celebration and his last day there.  They were sent to Jason and I by the Bishops wife in Portola.  They just loved having Elder Walker serve there and they will miss him very much.  I'm so grateful to them and the people in Portola for taking care of him for the short time he was there. 

I know he is eager to get to the Netherlands, yet leaving Portola was very bitter sweet.  He loved and spoke very highly of his companion Elder Corry and of the people he met there. 

Please keep him and the other Elders & Sisters in your thoughts and prayers as they make the long flight to the Netherlands!  We should hear from him in a week!  :-)
