Week 11: How Great Thou Art





Howdy 

This week went by faster than last week. Finally got to see rain after about 8 weeks in Texas and the rain drops were pretty big. It wasn’t a big storm but it was still great to see the rain. We got to power wash a couple of Patios at Emerald oaks the retirement home we volunteer at and those patios were really dirty. Also Elder Ochoa came to visit on Thursday for some conference and that man speaks with the spirit. Having him and President Tveten was pretty amazing and a really good Zone Conference. 

The cool story of this week so one of the wards I'm in got about 10 new families because of some ward realignments. Elder Pryde and I were planning on visiting every family on Saturday from about 3 till dinner. Every one of the 10 visits we texted all said they couldn't do it this Saturday. Right after each person told s no we got a text from a less active member who needed help moving. That was an awesome experience helping him move. It took a lot longer than we thought it was gonna and we missed our dinner appointment because when we finished it was time for us to head back to our apartment. But I didn't get hungry at all during the service because the Lord was telling us that what we’re doing was right. Had we not gone to help him, he wouldn’t have left the storage unit loading boxes till about 11 at night then he had to drive 13 hours to Tusan. Had even just 2 of the families we texted said yes we wouldn't have been able to help but Heavenly Father knew this man needed our help. Heavenly Father knows every one and he will put us in places that we need to be to help others. 

Another spiritual thought this week from a dinner message that I thought was so cool. Elder Pryde shared Romans 8 which talks about the love of God and how we will never be separated from Heavenly Father's love. My companion did great and all I needed to add was one line, "There is nothing we can do that will ever make Heavenly Father stop loving us." I say that with 100% knowledge that it is true. We never have to feel alone because of the atonement and Jesus Christ felt everything and we never have to feel unloved because our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ will always love us. That's a new thought but it is so true. Heavenly Father will always love each and every one of His children which is all of us. I also love y'all 

Love y'all

The sun reminded me of the suns of Tattoine in Star Wars except for the fact it was missing a sun.

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 ...
