 Parker and his companion.. Elder Bernard

 Our district behind the temple

We found an empty conference room one night and we decided to plan there. Had to get a cool picture :D (we are wondering who he is talking to?? )

OI FAMILIA! Tudo Bem? Eu estou muito bom aqui!

So before I talk about stuff, onto the 20 questions!! (mom gave a list of 20 questions earlier this week for him to answer)

1. Things are going amazingly with my companion. Elder Bernard is amazing. I don't think he has a single mean bone in his body. And he has an incredible amount of faith, and love for everyone around him. I love him so much. He's been so supportive with me through all of my many trials and I am so grateful for him.

2. The best thing about him I think is probably the fact that Elder Bernard is always positive. He is always smiling and always has a good attitude no matter how hard things get. I love it!\

3. The other elders that stay in my room are awesome! They are all so cool and very different. I love learning and just doing anything with them. It's super fun.

4. I get up at 6:30 in the morning. Sometimes it's really hard to get up that early. REALLY HARD. But it's the mission life right?

Hello familia!!!

Thank you so much for all that you do! I love it so much. I am so loved and so blessed to have all these people who love me in my life. Thank you so much. I can't say that enough!

So I got the care package yesterday! It was so awesome to get all those goodies and food and drinks! Thank you so much! Even better were the letters that you all wrote to me. Thank you so very much! I feel like a broken record saying thank you so much! But I mean it!

 HI FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!! I'm alive!! GAH. I'm just gonna answer a few questions and stuff from the letters I've gotten before I start on my time here at the MTC.
 So I'm glad I was able to see Barbara and Diane before I got to the MTC. It was really nice and awesome to see them. Unfortunately they kinda saw me as an emotional wreck but hey it happens.
 Mom, it is HOT. At least 90's or above. And I'm actually outside fairly often! I walk the campus fairly often and between classes and meals we walk outside. We also have 'gym time' almost everyday and I don't like to work out inside the gyms that they have. I go out to the field just below the temple! So I'm out in the hot sun working out! They have volleyball, soccer, softball, four-square and other stuff. I usually just run around the field. The field is right below the temple so its awesome to be able to see it while I run. ITS HOT.
