  Howdy y'all hope everyone is safe. Heard Hawaii is back in lockdown that's scary but there is good in all things.    I was reading today and noticed something I never saw before! In Alma 29:4 4 I ought not to harrow up in my desires the firm decree of a just God, for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or unto life; yea, I know that he allotteth unto men, yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills, whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction.   What I noticed today is we choose what we do according to our desires. When we want to do something we are going to find away to do it. So how does this relate to us now?    We can choose how we look at 2020. Every month has been something it's so funny to think about. Double hurricanes, covid, and so many other things and yet there is still good. The oceans are cleaner, the air is cleaner. People are buildi...

 Howdy y'all!  It's been a week! I got a new companion. Elder Davis. He's new he was supposed to go to Brazil so that it's lit.  Anyway this week we had some rules clarified and it was not the news I wanted to hear. I liked where we were at and now we are kind of going backwards. But, I was reminded that not only do I need to be patient with myself and others, but also rules. I was studying patient the other week and one definition of Patience I liked was doing things in the Lord's time. Definitely now I need to trust the Lord's time. It's been difficult but I know God is all knowing. I know God is watching us and we are in is hands. I was thinking this is to much it's been too long but Patience involves a lot of trust. We just need to trust the Lord knows what he's doing.  Love y'all hope you have a good week. Have fun be happy, and be patient "this too will pass!"  Elder Park

 Howdy Fam Bam!  Alright bad news first we got transfers and I'm training. Meaning my new comp will be a brand new missionary. Fun yay! Woohoo! I'm not a big fan of training tbh  Anyway on better news we were talking about the Book of Mormon and there are some great insights there. In a lot of ancient religions and culture there is a God in white that visited the people and they are waiting for his return. Sound familiar? Coincidence? I think not. I believed Jesus Christ visited all if his children and that these cultures are waiting for his return! It really cool to this k that God loves each one of his children that he would send his son to visit them. The gospel is great!  Well I hope y'all have a good week. Do something fun and stay safe love y'all Elder Park

  Howdy y'all Today's gonna be a a shorter email. We played a lot of ball. I'm tired and cramping up. It's ok we got some buckets.  So this week was dope got to do a cool food drive service project which was great. Also just having fun finding people and teaching.  Lately I've been thinking a lot about others we share messages with and I've noticed the best lessons are when we listen to others. And as I've been thinking about it even when we walk parks and streets the most important part is listening. Elder Holland promises that when we listen we will know what to say. And it is true. Another thing is people don't care how much you know till you show then how much you care. That's one of my favorite quotes. Because it's true. You can be the best teacher, have the most knowledge none of that matters if people don't want to listen to you. They're just gonna tune you out.  Hope yall have a great week. Do something fun do some...

Howdy Y'all  What a week it was. Let's get right in to it. Saturday was probably one of the greatest days ever. We had a 2 people of a family get baptised. And baptisms are great but what was awesome is that the father was baptised then received the priesthood to baptize his daughter.  For y'all who don't know the priesthood is the power and authority to act in God's name to bless others. And with that priesthood we are able to make promises with God. At baptism the priesthood is needed. Usually you can't get the priesthood and the Father can't baptize his daughter but because of COVID we were able to ordain the dad to the priesthood. So he was able to baptize his daughter. That family is on the path to live together forever! Now the subject of my email is Good or Bad. you choose. This week we didn't any new people and Sunday almost every lesson canceled. But what do we choose to look. I can remember the special day on Satu...
