Howdy Fam!

This week was an amazing week. It was transfer week and Elder Clark is one and done in the area, meaning he was only my comp for 6 weeks. My new Comp Elder Beck is awesome.  He's 6'6 and a baller. You already know were gonna play a ton of basketball. 

Another reason this week was great we had lessons on lessons on lessons. We literally went from one lesson to the next on Friday and Saturday. And the lessons were great. With one of our people we invited her to be baptized and she said yeah I think that’s what God has been telling me to do. Another person we answered her questions on the Plan of Salvation and she said that it gave her peace and happiness and hope. The spirit was so strong in those lessons. 

That is really what my email is about today. Every day we learn lessons. We learn in everything. We learn what works and what doesn't work. We learn good and we learn bad. That is the purpose of life is to learn and grow. Heavenly Father wants us to be just like him and the way to do that is to learn on Earth. We will never stop learning. Till the second we die we will learn. And what’s great is the knowledge we gain on Earth is what we get to keep when we are living in Heaven with our families and Heavenly Father. We have peace in knowledge and we can have peace in knowing. God loves us and Jesus Christ loves us. 

I 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 ...
