I miss St. Vincent, but it's really nice having a ward again. This
is a Zone conference transfer so I haven't seen the Mehr’s or the AP’s much.
Normally I'll be going on splits with the AP's a lot, but I don't really know
how much I will see President and Sister Mehr. There is about a 50/50 ratio of
Indians to Black people, and there are no white people anywhere, except the
other missionaries. It's kind of funny being a minority. My companion is a Utes
fan and he lives about 20 minutes away from aunt Robin. (His girlfriend lives
very close to them). It sounds like both teams are in for a great year! We
tried contacting a guy sitting on a bench with his family a few nights ago and
he was a Hindu. Let's just say that he was not ripe fruit. I met two Muslim
brothers named Wazzim and Fazzim. They were really nice but neither were prepared
to hear about the gospel. Elder Rowley and I are getting along really well. He
is into rafting and backpacking and most of the other things that I like to do
so we have many common interests. Mom told me about a movie that the Church is producing
coming called "The Mormons". That's cool. I wonder how soon we will
get a copy of it down here? I still get in some good proselyting time and being
in the office makes me want to go out to teach even more than I did before. I
enjoy the office work though. The senior couple (The Rays) that we get to work
with and the other senior missionary (Sister Ray) are all great. I wish we
could get more senior missionaries out here. We will be losing all three of the
Rays and several other senior couples and we don't have anybody to replace
them. If you know anybody who is thinking about doing a senior missionary, tell
them that the West Indies Mission desperately needs some!
Hurrah for Israel!
Love, Elder Parker
