E Ola E Ola

There is a really good song by One republic that I want to listen to but can't so y'all should it's called I lived. 

Howdy my friends 

Let me tell you it's been a crazy week. There wasn't a day that didn't have a story. I also got really trunky this week. For those who don't know what that means it means man I missed home a little. But found so much joy in the work it was amazing. I know I don't usually go through my week but it will al make sense in the end I promise. 

Monday: P-day was awesome got to feel sand in my feet again playing some sand volleyball it was so fun. 

Tuesday: had Zone Conference which was great and had dinner with one of my favorite families the Lea's. 

Wednesday: Turned the ripe old age of 20 that was fun. Had lunch with Chuck. He s the man. And had dinner with another one of my favorite families Familia Ortiz 

Thursday: The church announced no church on Sunday due to the Corona virus. 

Friday: Put 2 more people on date for baptism had a sick exchange with Elder Clements and He s the man. We talked to everyone and there were so many people prepared. Also though some elders came in Contact with Corona don't worry they didn't. 

Saturday: With all the madness of no church we still went out and worked. And within an hour we had 2 great lessons 1 of which we put a person on date and found a new person in an hour. 

Sunday- didn't feel like a Sunday but man trafting was fun. Plus we had dinner with another one of my favorite families the Robert's! We still had our spirits feed at a family sacrament with the Melgoza's and then a district CFM 

So why did I do that? Because this was a dope week. It was hard work remembering it. I did this because I want to show that I lived. In this time of panic; we live. We are alive walking talking smiling. We love one another. We are humans. And this is a set back yes things are different but were still alive that's what matters. What's cool is that this is a perfect time to teach by example. Helaman 5:12 is a perfect scripture for now. Build your foundation on Christ and he promises the might whirlwind of the adversary shall not mess with you. 
Also it's so nice to have a living prophet on the Earth Today because we need one. There was a cool Facebook post that said isn't it amazing the Lord has called a doctor as our prophet. Isn't it amazing that for years the Prophet has told us to prepare food storage. Isn't it amazing that our prophet has made church a more home centered experience. There were more but I want to add. Isn't it amazing that God loves his children so much that he puts a person on the Earth to guide them back home. 
Isn't it amazing that we have life and that We Live. E Ola. Live on!

As usual love y'all! Stay safe and healthy and have some fun and trust in the Lord

Ps thanks for the Birthday wishes it means a lot. I love y'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 ...
