Mom,
yup one year passes by so fast. but it came and it went, i was going crazy though the day of but now its settled in. im and old missonary now. cant say im still a newby.
crazy to think that in a year, what i just did, ill be going home. got me thinking about all my recent converts and how there lives changed and in about 1 year i wont be here anymore to babysit them and itll be just them and ill be just me. ill only have myself to look after, wont have this stress of what there doing because its "not my job!" - mac dre i guess in the end of everything, when all is said and done and i walk off the plane, the only thing i can ask myself is, "am i a better man walking off this plane then i was when i got on 2 years ago?" that is a really difficult question. so i asked myself, am i better man right now then i was one year ago?
i dont know about the Christmas package because transfers are on the 17th which means i could be out of here on the 17th. maybe itd be betterto hold off on the package.
we had 70 people in sacrament meeting, its pretty good. im trying to get stuff done here but i feel so limited. nothing ever happens on the timeline we want huh?
i think Christmas time is better when its cold, hot is terrible. its wierd saying merry Christmas with sweat running down your face.
i really dont have much to write about this week im sorry, i need to baptize more people though on my mission. só batiza!
so this is what 1 year feels like, nothing to write haha. everybody tells me that within 6 months my emails will turn into about a paragraph and that ill recieve about a letter a month. well the letter one is already true but the email one seems like its coming also. im sorry i just have nothing to write to you all,
o ya im gonna get my haircut today.
well love you all, im working really hard and i hope i see the benefits here pretty soon. - ELder Parker
Dad,
sounds like winter has come around there. here in tupã it is super hot. yesterday the priesthood leaders had a council to see if they should excommunicate this one lady here that actually got baptized this year. shes basically gone crazy and is crazy. just another sunday in tupã :D
i need to start baptizing more people and fast. im so sick of trying so hard just to squirt out one baptism. im trying to baptize families, families families families, but every family seems to have a step dad that drinks to much and is numb to the spirit.
good to know that riley is still playing basketball, careful though, this is the age when the boys start to get into the habit of breaking the commandments, i never did like the environment of sports teams that much. were working really hard and seeing little results but we will keep on working. love you dad! - Elder Parker
