Howdy from TSAM

Howdy, well I'm not gonna lie Idk what week is it. 

This week was an amazing week for a couple reasons both of which filled me with joy. 
The first reason this week was great was we practiced teaching some lessons. Last week when I emailed y'all we had 2 lessons and it was great. We added 6 more lessons with members in the past week. The spirit was so strong and testified to me of the truthfulness of what we were teaching. We also taught our second lesson the Plan of Salvation and that one was a little rough. Someone asked about the 2nd coming and I had been reading some revelations before and I started talking about the millennium and that was not where it was supposed to go. It's good thing they were members. 
The second awesome experience this week was when I was reading. Yes I actually read now it's weird. I was reading the "Saints" and that book is awesome. I started reading it and I couldn't put it down. The only time I have felt such a feeling of peace and joy when reading was from reading the scriptures. It testified to me that Joseph Smith was a prophet. He received the plates and translated them. 
Other than that it was another week in the field. Soon we won't need to teach members but we will be teaching new friends. All in the Lord's time.

Mom's note: The families in San Antonio are so good about feeding their missionaries.  Elder Park has also met some friends from Hawaii. We are so grateful for good people!

Aloha

Hola Mi Amigos  So apparently I'm instagram famous now so please I don't do autographs except for sizable donations to my missionary funds. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, last week I talked about meeting this guy named Elder Ulissses S. Soares. He's a leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints and he posted a picture with me in it in one of his posts. Also, I can't actually take donations but if you absolutely feel like it, you have your own agency to choose so. In return a Book of Mormon will be sent to your door along with 2 young males or females with a message about happiness, joy, and aloha. Also, side note, I'm on facebook with that same picture. the name is Tyler Park. Other than being instafamous now, it's been a fun week. It's funny I'm in an area with a lot of Hispanics and because I'm brown they think I'm Hispanic and can speak Spanish so they are spitting Spanish to me ...

A Hui Hou Austin Ward

Good morning y'all  We got transfer news yesterday and I'm getting transferred up north more to Pflugerville. I'm still close to Austin just a little higher. I have mixed emotions about it, but I know it's where the Lord needs me and it's a good change. I will miss all the people and relationships that I've made here. It's sad to think about leaving so many people but I know it is not the end. I may never see any of these people again in this life but that's alright. (I'll probably be back at some point though).  Where am I going with this. To be honest I don't know I'm kind of just typing. But A hui hou means goodbye in Hawaii but hui means gather and hou means new. So, the literal meaning is until we meet again. And that is so true although we say goodbye to those we love, we will meet them again. There is a life after this. Jesus Christ is real. His atonement is real. And it was for us that we can say until we meet again.  ...

Good Morning Fam (or whatever time it is)  This was a week. As most of you know Corona virus sucks. And is growing everyday. Meaning new updates from the mission everyday. Wednesday night we were chilling trying social distancing. Thursday morning we are in Self-isolation. Fun stuff. So what does that mean? It means we are to do 95% of our missionary work online. The 5% we do not online is sacrament and baptisms but even those have guidelines. So what does that mean, time to get creative with online proselyting.  Then come to find out on Friday my comp has to go home because of corona virus. A lot has happened. But everything happens for a reason.  I think my message today is about being creative and finding success in the circumstances we are given. I was talking to a greenie (a new missionary) the other day and we discussed what success is. But this is a weird time many of us have to stay home meaning in work and school things are different. And success ...
