Patience, Service and More Service

Y'all is actually really fun to say. 

Hope everything is going well with y'all. First thing I'd like to do is what I do a lot say sorry. My last email sounded like I was strongly discouraged about my area and it is tough some days but I love this area. The members are awesome, the food is great, and there is so much potential where I am. Everyone loves Jesus and hopefully they can see that this gospel is true. 

This week went by really fast. It was filled with a lot of service. I love doing service. We went to the retirement home twice and they had a lot for us to do on Wednesday it was great. Then we went to a members home with some members to help put in some flooring and that was awesome. On Saturday we were out from 7 am -12 pm making bunks for kids who don't have beds to sleep on. That was an awesome experience. I also learned there missionaries aren't allowed to us any sort of saw. That was fun I was seeing some wood taking me back to freshman year woods with Joslin and my mission President was behind me. Of course I shook his hand then went to cutting wood. Well apparently we aren't supposed to do that. 

Mosiah 2:17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.

The good news from this week were teaching people. All of them are active members. But hey were teaching or practicing. We have appointments now. It's awesome and the members here are great. We started teaching last night and it feels so good to be share the gospel. I love this gospel and what I love the most is that it's a gospel of doing not just listening. We don't just listen and believe because someone tells us to. We believe because we've all received our own answer. We've learned and we've asked if this is true and I have recieve an answer that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of the Lord and we have a prophet today. The gospel has been restored.

When we work hard and be patient we the Lord will bless us. 

Love y'all 
Elder Park

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 ...
