Well another week has past. The time is going by faster and faster. On Sunday we had Rex's baptism! It was really great. A lot of the ward showed up to support him. After his baptism, he bore his testimony and I could tell that he knew he was making the right choice. Other than the baptism, this week has been kind of quiet. It’s been hard to get a hold of people and it might be because of the up-coming holiday. The weather has been getting really cold. It was like 30 degrees yesterday and a pretty strong breeze. Luckily we were inside :) Zone Conference was really great. We talked about teaching by the spirit and how we can have the spirit with us. Usually we have 45 min to an hour lessons with people. Now we are trying to be in and out in 20 minutes with the lesson being less than 10. Crazy huh?! It’s sooo cool though! We are trying to use pictures more and cut out all the fluff. It’s interesting because now we teach more like we did in the MTC. When I came to the mission field we added other stuff; now we are back to what it was like in the MTC.
Cool experience. I was on exchanges with my favorite missionary (Elder Readhead) and we were in his area. We were tracting in an apartment compound. So there were buildings that each held 12 different apartments. Well they were all supposed to be locked. But we got into a lot of them because the locks were broken. We didn't really have a lot of success, but on our last one, we got in and met a boy who was 18 years old. We asked him if he wanted to hear a message about Jesus Christ. He said yes, we were unprepared and rambled through half of the restoration then gave him a Book of Mormon and set a return appointment. Cool thing is when we went out, we found out the door actually locks... somehow we got in though. So Cool! Hopefully he keeps his appointment, his name is Sayvon. Really cool kid.
Hope everything is going well at home! Love you all!
Love, Elder Parker
