Hola Como Estas

This week has been a pretty interesting week. It was thanksgiving and that was like my first big holiday on the mission and boy was that a cool day. We also got 2 more elders move into our apartment and they are awesome. They're spanish elders and the coolest elders ever. Now there's 8 different elders in the apartment complex. We also got our car towed on Saturday night. Funny thing is we've been parking their for the past 5 months and aparently on Saturday they decided to tow it. I felt bad because one of the new Elders is new to the mission and is still on his first week and had to deal with that. That was an ordeal on Sunday. 

That was the week and man did I eat so much food this week. Thursday was thanksgiving of course and I ate a lot at one members house. Then on Friday we went to this BBQ place called Rudy and we had so much food there. Our mission "grandma" I say that because they care for all the missionaries in my district made the missionaries like 12 pies and if you know me pie is one of my weaknesses. And of course all the leftovers we got to eat on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday I couldn't breathe after eating and Friday night whenever I laughed or coughed my core was sore. And I didnt do core until Saturday morning. I was full. That got me thinking of what do we fill ourselves with? Do we feast upon good things? Upon the words of Christ? things that bring true happiness and joy. Or do we fill ourselves with temporal happiness? Two conference talks are "What Lack I yet" (thanks mom) from October 2015 and Feasting upon the Words of Christ from April 2019. 

As you read and as you ponder this week. Ponder a self evaluation of where you are. And as you do this self evaluation remember all the wonderful blessings Heavenly Father has given you. It's Thanksgiving its a time to be thankful so be thankful for something everyday. 

Also it's officially Christmas season!

I love y'all

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 ...
