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 and I have no idea what they're saying. This lady doesn't speak English but spoke really good Spanish and kept talking. It was fun. It's also fun to be in a Texas rainstorm. When it rains it pours in Texas and it was fun to walk in it. The lighting and thunder was pounding and the next day it's like nothing happened. Then the next day it was freezing. Texas was colder than Canada. The wind was cold it was a very cold day. 



So last week we talked about being humble and I appreciate all the responses I've gotten. There is a common thread in what it means to be humble. Life is hard and we can't do it on our own. We have to remember the Lord in all we do. The bad, we have to trust the Lord that it will get better and our trials will be for our best. The hard part of being humble is when all good is happening, will we remember the Lord and be grateful. When all is going good it's easy to forget but hard to remember. I invite you to remember the Lord in all things. Good, Better, Best, Bad, ugly, and worse remember the Lord in everything because his hand is in everything. 

Going with the theme of my previous emails a word to ponder for this week. Love or Aloha. The 2 greatest commandments involve love.

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 ...
