This week, I learned some good things. We have been
doing a lot of part member family work. There is a young woman who was baptized
just before I got here and we have been teaching her mom Stacey. Last night we
got the paperwork from Stacey to our ward mission leader Brother Simmons so
that the work can commence for her divorce so that she can get married to the
person she is currently living with. We have been able to have some spiritual
lessons with her and she has been showing some good signs of growth, like
reading the Book of Mormon on a consistent basis, and deciding not to go lime
with her friends (limeing with friends=riotous living). She needs to come to
church again, so there are certainly several mountains to help her climb over,
but the beginning steps have begun. Unfortunately the teaching pool has
remained low this week. Conference was awesome! There is a noticeable
difference that comes during the conference season. I noticed a big theme from
conference is the need to be more prepared to defend the faith, and being more
centered on Christ. I liked that counsel, especially because I am working on
being more courageous. Being more willing to stand for the truth. I am down at
the knuckle on the ring finger if you make a map of Trinidad with your fist
keeping the pinky and thumb extended parallel to the rest of the fingers. I
thought of you during Elder Holland’s talk. You really are a great example. I
think of your strength from you telling about during your high school years how
you would stay away from parties and other activities because of the standards
you held. It has been helping me. It must have been fun to see some of your old
missionary friends. I have been better about taking pictures. I love you mom.
-Love, Elder Parker
