Hey everybody,
Well, I am writing today because all of the internets in our
area were closed yesterday because it was a holiday. But unfortunately I don't
have much time because we have to start to work soon.
I'm glad to hear that everything is going well back home.
This past week we had a bit of a surprise because Cartagena was the host of the
Señorita Colombia beauty pageant this past weekend, and because of that we were
closed in our house every night after 4pm. It was not a very productive week
but one of the good things is that Nataly was able to be baptized. But because
of the close-in we were not able to attend the baptismal service but everybody
told us that all went well, but now we don't have a picture of the service. But
with that baptism we now don't have anyone who is actively preparing for
baptism. This week will be more-or-less pure contacting until we have more
people to work with.
This week I read 2 Nephi 27 during my personal study and
some things that really stood out to me are all of the prophesies about the
restoration and Joseph Smith. It really is amazing to think of the extent of
depth that was put into the prophesies, such as details about the education of
Joseph Smith and the losing of the manuscript. And even more interesting is
that many of the prophesies come directly from the book of Isaiah. It really shows
that the Bible and the Book of Mormon testify that Joseph Smith is a prophet of
God.
Thank you so much for all of your support. I have been able
to learn so much this week about the love that God has for me and it's more
more than I can explain over an email but I really know that God is my Heavenly
Father and he loves me more than anything. Even to the extent that he has
entrusted me with his most precious harvest. I know that Joseph Smith is a
prophet of God and that the church that he restored is the true church.
Have a great week,
Elder Parker
