Howdy Fam bam

Another Monday  another email. There are some whack people in Austin but it's pretty fun. On Saturday our bus driver was a preacher as well. Sunday we were walking behind a guy and he says who the F is following us. When we pass by, Elder Clark compliments his shoes and he then says he likes our fit. Then asks who we work for and sees our tags and says Dang y'all work for Jesus Christ. Those are just two of our great experiences in Austin and that doesn't  even say what happens in our apartment with habanero's. Good Times.

Well last week we talked about change and the difference between the Matthew scripture and the 3 Nephi scripture is that in Matthew only Heavenly Father is perfect. In 3 Nephi both are perfect showing that Christ was resurrected and we will be resurrected just like he was. That was a cool realization.

This week my study was based in pride and humility. There are some dope talks by General Authorities that talk about humility. I'd recommend the Greatest Among us by Elder Uchtdorf and Lord is it I? by Elder Uchtdorf and Meek and Lowly of Heart by Elder Bednar. Also I read this great talk titled "I Believe I can I knew I Could." (The subject of this email) by President James E Faust. It talked about the Little train that could and how we can be like that train. We may not be the biggest, we may not be the smartest but we have God and Jesus Christ on our team. We at times will be stretched to our limits but when we have a positive attitude we can completely those tasks. This really stuck out me because the times that we are stretched are the times we grow the most. We just have to trust and keep trying. 

Love Y'all 
Elder Park

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 ...
