Elder Parker is now a trainer


mom,
     baptize some people. if you keep taking more people to church im gonna pay for a flight, come home and baptize them then return to brazil. gee goly jimminey what a marvelous work that is happening in fresno.
  
  my birthday party was awesome! i filmed it all youll probably get it in a month. i spent it with some random brazilian family i met while knocking doors.
    
    President Tavares, seeing the need,  has sent two more groups of missionaries to tupã. One for elder chambers ward and one for mine.  The people of Tupa wonder why the church has been here for 33 years and they still aren’t a stake and they have 1300 members here in this city but still in sacrament meeting only 61 were there. Which is a huge win. the branch had 42 when i showed up. im not whining, im just showing you why tupã is one of the hardest areas  in my mission. The people here really struggle with keeping the commandments of God.
       
o ya ala 2 my old area in Londrina, it got closed because some drug dealer showed up and told the missionaries if he sees them again, hes going to kill them. i served there! i got robbed there! ive got street cred on the mission. o believe me ive got street cred.
     
    and better yet i got called to train! im gonna train! ive got a little baby missionary waiting for me in the ctm. hes sitting there right now shaking in his little suit not knowing what hes getting in to! im so excited!!! im staying in tupã! but im gonna move my house so dont send anything, ill give you the info on my new house next week. o ya that reminds me, elder chambers and i went house shopping in brazil, it was very boring, difficult and frustrating. how are two americans gonna know how to get a house, ive never even lived out of my parents house before in my life. My companion elder saraiva got transfered, im not sure where though. . im gonna train an american, i think hes from provo, i dont know for sure yet because i only saw that really quickly but ill find out tomorrow. elder freitas will be so happy!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAMBRIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i love you so much cambria. just think i was your age when we first got you as a little baby. i was just ten years old when i first held you in my arms. you had big eyes and a bald head! :D
           me and elder chambers are changing tupã. one soul at a time!
                     - Elder Parker
