Dear Family,
Well, I will kill the tension. I am staying with Elder Riche for 6 more weeks in Exeter! It was really really shocking, but I am way excited.
We got to teach Kevin and his wife Jessica this week, that was really cool, they have 4 kids, ages 7,7,7,6. They are a pretty promising family. He is a less active member, she isn't. But she wants to come to church with everyone and be baptized eventually.
We got a super awesome Media Referral named Mario. He was in Salt Lake last week for a convention, felt like he needed to go to temple square. He had never heard of Mormons, but spent 7 hours with the sisters at the visitor’s center. Then we taught the restoration. We are gonna hand him off to Lundberg because he is YSA age. It will be cool to see him progress.
The markers are doing ok, Kim was in the hospital yesterday, but should be out soon. Jon is looking for work again.
The Cherneskys came to church, as did Veronica and the boys.
Everything seems to be going pretty good so far.
We had a pretty good broadcast stake conference, Elder Anderson spoke, as did Elder Katcher, who will be visiting the mission soon. Elder Hales also spoke.
I hope you all have a great week! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Parker

Dear Family,
We had a pretty good week. Nothing really new to report.
Veronica is doing well, and Dakoda and Kris should be getting the
priesthood in just a few weeks.
The Markers are doing good. Alyssa gave a talk in sacrament and did
really great, it was awesome!
Selena is doing good. She gave a lesson in young woman's. They also
made us Jamaican food for dinner last night. Chris is a funny guy, he
was talking about how the missionaries would always schedule their
lessons with him at around 6 or 7 because they knew they would get
fed.
We are pretty much in the process of refilling our teaching pool right
now. We have a few people that have lots of potential, hopefully we
will be able to make some headway with them this week.
We also get transfer calls this week, so we will find out who is
staying and leaving, I feel like it's a 50/50 chance of me staying of
leaving.
I would like to apologize if you have recently (last 5 weeks) sent me
a letter and I haven't replied. I will repent and try to be better at
that.
I hope you all have a great week! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Parker

Dear Family,
This week was pretty great. We had our Zone Training meeting that we had to present. It went pretty well, it was all about planning. That was where the photo from the Gardners came from.
After we had that meeting I went to Pottsville with Elder Oldroyd on exchanges. Pottsville is about an hour and 20 minutes north of our area. That is where the Gardners are as well. It was a lot of fun.
We also had the baptism of Selena this weekend! It went really well, her father Chris, who is a recent convert was able to baptize her. The turn out from the ward was great.
That was pretty much all that happened this week. We were able to see some less active members and recent converts. Veronica and Kris and Dakoda are doing well. Madison Chernesky is doing well. The Markers are doing well.
I was able to be reminded of the great blessing I have of having a great family. Elder Gardner talks every time and to all the missionaries about how great my Grandpa Parker is and how much he loves him and looks up to him. Sometimes I take those kinds of things for granted.
Thank you all for all you do, I will send some pictures in a little bit. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Parker

Dear Family,
We had a really good week, it was a little different because of lots of meetings and General Conference, but it was good.
Selena is still on for her baptism this Saturday, her Dad who is a recent convert is going to baptize her.
We had Zone Conference on Wednesday, it was really good, we spent a lot of time learning about how to more effectively teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was great.
I loved being able to watch general conference. On Saturday we watched it at the church, for all 3 sessions. Then on Sunday we watched it all at the Framptons. I really loved Elder Pearson’s talk in the Sunday afternoon session. I love how bold he was.
I also got to meet the Gardners! They are an awesome senior couple. He has already adopted me into their family, it has been fun.
It was a pretty calm week, busy though.
I hope you all have a great week! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Parker
