I don't know what to subject this. So were going to practice Hawaiian. Ahonui. (Also I lost track of weeks and I don't want to count)


Howdy

So to start if y'all haven't ,getting my emails my bad. Had the brilliant idea to look at my list again and yeah so my bad. Also, as you can see by my subject somethings don't change.

So fun stories this week. Sandy's helped for this day. I was biking down the road racing a car trying to beat him to the crosswalk. I won. I also went over the handle bars. But natural instinct tuck and roll. It pays to go over the falls a couple times. 

Also quick plug, General conference was this weekend and it was amazing. It shows the importance of having a modern day prophet to guide the church in this ever changing world. The talks were amazing. I'd recommend every talk they have, so many spiritual truths and all talks testify of Christ. 

So now the fun time, I had this super cool opportunity to give a blessing to someone. For those who don't know what that is it's when we give a special prayer to someone who needs comfort or healing. It's an awesome experience and with the power and authority to act in God's name (priesthood) we are able to give that blessing. Anyway super cool experience and I truly felt words being put into my mouth. That being said, there was one thing I couldn't say. "You will be healed."

Ahonui means faith. Faith brings to pass miracles. Moroni teaches that miracles come by faith (Ether 12). I did not have enough faith to say you will be healed and it was truly a self reflecting moment. 

But what is faith? I invite you to think about it. Feel free to send me your thoughts. Hope y'all have a good week. 

Till next time, I 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.  ...

Waihoʻi kūʻokoʻa

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 ...
