JULY 6, 2015

Dear Family,

Well, we had another great week, it was tons of fun to be down here for the 4th of July! Lots of stuff going on with everyone. It seems that this was the vacation spot for the weekend with all of the people that came in from out of town. We probably had almost double at church on Sunday.

We taught Mark this week, he had read the whole book of 1st Nephi in 2 days, he has pretty much fallen of the face of the earth since then though. Hopefully we can get back in touch soon.

Linda and Tyler are doing well, we taught the Word of Wisdom and it went really good, we also did service with Tyler at a members home for a little while.

We taught Paul last night, it was really good. He is going to live the Word of Wisdom this week to try it out. It’s been great to see his progression.

Pauline is doing well, she came to Sunday School this week and then had to leave. But hopefully we can get her there for the sacrament this Sunday.

We had Zone Training this week, it went pretty good. We had a theme of "Learn it, Live it, Share it." We used the talk that I emailed last week to teach about "Learn it" and how the savior prepared for his ministry and how we can prepare for the various things we do. Then we had the STL's(Sister Training Leaders) train on teaching like the Savior. We ended by talking about working with Members in missionary work and had a role play that went pretty good.

Saturday we got to spend a lot of time with Members. We went to the Howell's for a cook out and pretty much the whole ward was there. It was fun. They live in Upper Township and we stayed down there and watched fireworks, it was a lot of fun. Then on the drive home on the bridge we saw Fireworks from Ocean City, Atlantic City, Margate and a few other townships on the coast, it was pretty neat to see. Thankfully we beat all the traffic and made it home in a reasonable time.

I hope you all have a great week! I love you all!



Love,
Elder Parker
