Wow! What a change! I guess I could run to the house from BYU now. I’m
kind of bummed that we are moving, but will we be in the same ward as Aunt
Annie and Uncle Bob? That would be sweet!
P and L won't be baptized this upcoming week because they taking their
time, making sure that they understand everything. They are still progressing
though. We are going to move their date to later in August so that we can make
sure that they understand the things that they need to and so that they can
receive answers to their prayers. They have been struggling a little with
accepting the Sabbath day as Sunday. We are working on helping them understand
living prophets, because it is through them that we know which day to be the
Sabbath. They will still come to church, but they need to understand and accept
God's living prophets as who they really are. We still have spiritual lessons
with them, so I am not too worried. They are willing to pray and ask, and act
so I believe that they will receive answers to their prayers, and get things
sorted out.
I have learned a lot about being more prepared this last week. Elder
Grimm and I taught a Zone meeting on what we learned at MLC this last Tuesday.
President Egbert was there with his wife and also both the AP's were there so
it could have been stressful, but because we were prepared we did not fear
(D&C 38:30). It turned out to be a great zone meeting because the spirit
was there. I know that preparation is a powerful way to invite the spirit.
Elder Grimm is great. We get a long very well, and he also will be attending
BYU. He goes home in September. Being a zone leader has really taught me about
the importance of charity. I'm excited when our zone does well. I imagine that
it is a little like being a parent. There's a lot that I am still learning, but
it has been a good experience so far. Love you lots! Hurrah for Israel!
Love, Elder Parker
