'A'ano Wela


Howdy y'all!

Hope you all are doing great. Had another busy and good week. We had a lot of lessons taught and we talked to a lot of interesting people. Had a Bible bash with a preacher that was a fun experience a very humbling experience. It wasn't really a bash it was him talking to us. I wanted to try and bash back but II would have gotten wrecked. I give this man respect he knows the Bible. 

Now to the more fun parts of the week our fun story of the week. Every week we have what we call district council and thatʻs when a few missionaries get together and discuss how we can work best together and help invite  more people to come unto Christ. Anyway we always go to lunch after district council and we wanted wings so we went to Bdubs but that was closed. Then we went to a place named Pluckers and those wings were so good. Anyway the hottest sauce there is called Death sauce and if you eat 20 wings of that you get a picture on their wall of fame. Anyway one of the other Elders got a side of death sauce. Then he lost a game and had to drink the sauce. My story can't do this time justice. He chugged it and the waitress was freaking out behind us as he did it. There were some habaneros some other stuff. It was hot. 

So why the long story of an Elder drinking hot sauce? what does it have to do with being a missionary or the gospel? Great questions, this story reminds me and I hope to remind you to have fun in what you do. Elder Beck has helped me remember to have a balance in having fun and being productive. Everything is better when we enjoy our time, when we like what were doing. You never work a day in your life when you love what you're doing. That is so true enjoy your life. 

Now all the time isn't going to be enjoyable and we are going to have jobs we don't like. It's important to make time to do things you enjoy to keep your emotions and spirits positive. And Iʻm not saying that we shouldn't work hard I'm saying we do both. Work Hard Play Hard. Enjoy yourselves, no one likes a person who is always serious. Smile, laugh, tell a joke. And as always remember Jesus Christ and what He has done for you, when we remember Jesus Christ we can turn fun into joy. 

So go out there this week and enjoy yourself make a new friend, play a sport, go to the beach, just smile more. I love yʻall

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 ...
