I wish I spoke more Spanish but I hope I caught some of y'all off gaurd. I wish I spoke Spanish but that leads into this week's email. This week has seen some changes. First of all I got a new Comp Elder Clark. This man is crazy good at being a missionary and he grinds. I'm learning so much. But sadly that means Elder Pollock had left the Austin Area. The last couple days we said good bye to all the friends he has made as we prepared the area for Elder Clark. During that time I wondered why change is hard? Why do we all have some fear of change? 

It made me think and come to a little more understanding. There is a scripture in Matthew 5:48 and it says be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect. Now I challenge you to read 3 Nephi 12:48 and tell me the difference you see. It speaks so much in it. But any way Raise your hand if you're perfect. Jake and Jonah put your hands down. None of us are perfect we all need to change in order to become perfect. God and Jesus Christ want us to be like them. But we can't right now. So why is it so hard to change? Chill I'm getting to that

Satan cannot progress any more. He doesn't have a body and he didn't come to Earth with a physical body. Therefore he can't become like our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. A water dam stops water from flowing right. I hope it does but if it doesn't keep the anology going. Satan is the same way with his progression. Satan is "damned" The scriptures warn us that we will be damned to hell. What does that mean. It means that we will stop progressing. 

What does that have to do with change? I'm getting there. Satan doesn't want us to change so we become miserable like him. The hardest times in our life involve change. And the hardest changes are the best changes. And the best changes leads to Heavenly Father and Happiness. 

Hope that made sense but I love you all, I'm grateful for your prayers and everything y'all do. Feel free to email me the difference in Matthew 5:48 and 3 Nephi 12:48 and if I remember I will talk about that next week. Till next time dueces.

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 ...
