Akamai


Howdy Fam 

Another week in Austin and another group of interesting people met. There is never a dull day in Austin. We meet a guy named Titus Armstrong Bentley and he was just chillin. Then we meet a preacher and this man was super nice. He was super cool and we just talked to him and he told us his story. It was great. I also weighed myself after eating 3 huge dinners in a row and come to find out I weighed 180. 1/2 to my TSAM 40. We're also excited for a baptism this Thursday which will most likely be the topic of my email next week.  

So I was wondering what to talk about today and if y'all have suggestions for email topics let me know but were gonna talk about akamai and not smart but meek. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus teaches that the meek will inherit the Kingdom of God. And Moroni in the Book of Mormon teaches that without meekness and lowly of heart we can't be saved (Moroni 7:44). So what is meekness? 

There is a great talk from Elder Bednar titled Meek and Lowly of Heart amazing talk. And Elder Soares has one called Be Meek and Lowly of Heart. And both say almost the same thing. Someone who is meek is, not weak but strong, modest, and gracious, and patient. In both talks it talks about how Meekness is a spiritual gift we can all have. Elder Soares says something that really hits. Meekness is not something we can achieve in the snap of a finger. It is a process. It takes time. What is even better is he says the first step is being better everyday. 

That's my challenge for y'all is to be more patient, more gracious, more humble, and more modest. I promise that we all can achieve this gift of Meekness and as we do our relationships with ours will increase, our love for others will increase, and we will be saved in the Kingdom of God. I love you all and I hope y'all will be chillin in Heaven for eternity. 

Love you 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 ...
