Hey everybody,
I moved! I am now in a ward called Las Moras that is right
on the edge of Barranquilla and a smaller city called Soledad. There are a lot
of people here and it's pretty crazy because the stadium for the Colombian
national soccer team is in my area so everytime there is a game we can only
work in half of our area. But I love this new area and everything that we are
doing here.
My new companion is named Elder Condorí. He is from
Argentina and has 15 months here in the mission. He is a super good missionary
and I have been learning a lot from him.
Conference was so great here. We were able to watch it in
the Stake Center and I loved all of the talks. I liked how all of the talks
were themed with the temple or the atonement. A really cool experience that I
had yesterday was that when we finished and started teaching, the first lesson
we had was with a less active member whose brother just died. It was sad to
hear about but was great because we were able to apply the talks about eternal
families and the atonement with her and it was a super powerful lesson.
So this transfer we probably won't have any baptisms because
next week there is a multi-stake conference and then the week after that is the
regular stake conference, but we are trying to get people ready for the next
transfer. We are working with a man named Samir whose mom and sister are
members. He is great and is really enthusiastic about the church but his problem
is that his wife is super Christian non-denominational. But his daughter is
excited about the church too and wants to be baptized so we are hoping that we
can help the whole family.
Well that's pretty much how things are going here. I hope
everything is well at home.
See you guys soon.
Elder Parker
