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 isn't going to be the same. The other ELDER and I came up with this definition of success. Doing our best with what we are given. Life gives you lemons make lemonade, life gives you an onion you're not gonna make lemonade but make onionade. Don't make onionade that's gross but you get the point. Make french onion soup. Find what works in this time and do it. 

Two of my favorite scriptures, one I just realized this week are in the Book of Mormon and both say the same thing. Ether 12:27 and Moroni 10:37 God and Jesus Christ will help us. Their grace is sufficient to make us successful. All they ask is for us to try and they will pick up the rest. Especially now try new things, fail, and try something else. Give it your all and you'll be successful. Who doesnʻt want to be successful. "Come what May and Love it" that is a banger talk. You should read it by Joseph B. Wirthlin. And pray for others. They need it. 

As always, I'm fine. Iʻm living making due with what I got and that's the gospel of Jesus Christ that brings peace and comfort. 

I'm not sick yet and the work still goes. Love y'all stay safe and healthy and find the joy of this time.

Aloha

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.  ...
