mom,
ya that was so crazy when they announced the new age limit
for missionaries. elder schenerwark started shouting and clapping his hands
like it was a football game. i think the wierdest thing is going to be sisters
that are 19. most of the sisters in our mission are all like 23 and already
graduated from college. its wierd thinking that some sisters will arrive younger
then me. i could training elders straight out of high school here in a few
months.
ya my comp is
elder schenewark! i dont know where he is from cause hes lived all over the
country. he tells people he is from boston but
he says he lives in ohio
so i dont know how that works out. when i told elder chambers on the phone that
my comp was from boston, elder chambers said, " hes from boston
texas!" i love him :D but elder schenewark is fine, he speaks portuguese
really well for only two months, but hes like a little baby missionary and has
lot to learn. im super bummed i didnt get a baptism lined up for him in the
first week, our investigator didnt show up for her interview, ill see what
happens tonight when we visit her but i think were gonna cut her.
did aunty sheryl
like conference...
dang, if brazil didnt take so long to get a passport and
stuff dakoty could get called to brasil londrina
and i could train him. thatd be cool.
o ya i got an
email from tyler haroldson but pres. tavares made a new rule that we cant even
recieve emails from anyone besides grandparents, parents and brothers and
sisters. so i erased it on the spot but could you tell him to just write me a
letter instead, its the only way i can recieve it.
the wheat
pics were with elder luchmun, my 5th comp. after elder zioli.
how am i
supposed to return and marry some young summer flower if they can leave at 19
now. so much for blessings from the mission. ill probably wind up marrying one
of the older ones that already served, graduated from college and is like 25,
then again she could work and just take care of me for the rest of my life...
blessings from the mission. :D
why do
all you moms stay in contact with each other, its wierd. because were not there
so what do 4 moms talk about to each other on the computer, im just confused at
the relationships that are forming and how rapidly they are forming.
jared
metcalf wanted to know what the missionary work was like here in brazil and how
do we proselyte, i hope the bus video answered his questions cause i dont know
if i have time to answer all of them. sorry jared.
elder
schenewark is super funny, i told him that my last comp was transferred cause he thought this area was dangerous. then
i said to him dont be scared, and he said, " o im not scared! my dad grew
up in compton man, i can take anything!" i
was like alright calm down Compton
now your just getting crazy.
when i was
watching conference i couldnt help but remember about my last conference before
i went into the field and thinking about how i only watched 1 of the 4 sessions
as usually was every year but then i thought to myself what is it that is so
much different now then 10 months ago. why is this conference making such an
impact on me that other conferences never could. its because i came to this
conference with a humble heart, meek as a little child ready to learn. the name
tag i wear and the title of elder before my name dont change the person that i
am and never will. this conference wasnt the best conference of my life because
im a missionary, it was the best because i made it the best and i hope i can
strive to make every conference the best for the rest of my life.
Te Amo!
- Elder Parker
