Week 12: Need for Speed

Hello all! This week has been pretty normal to be honest, not a lot of craziness went down. I knocked on doors and taught a few lessons. It's been awesome to see people progress and grow a lot in such a short amount of time. 

There was one funny thing that happened though. Me and my companion were out knocking doors on a particularly desolate road and all of the sudden heard a loud noise coming towards us. We turn and look and all of a sudden a guy on a riding lawnmower cames out of the woods, drives past us, serpentines down the road for a long while and then drives his lawnmower back into the woods. It was really strange haha. Then later we found his house and he had like little hills and ramps and was driving over and going off them on his lawnmower. We tried to talk to him but he wouldn't acknowledge our existence and just kept racing. It was definitely an experience to say the least!

General conference was also this weekend! That was really cool. I watched all 4 sessions at 4 different places and got to sit in with a bunch of different families and got to know the ward better. It is funny to see the different conference styles. One family we went to was like, all in church clothes and was very formal (I think maybe because we were there) and another was having a barbeque in their pajamas and all the kids had brought their mattresses to the living room to sit on and color and stuff. Both were really good experiences. Conference had a lot of really good messages this time as well, especially about hardships coming to good people and how as we fight through them we become stronger and more faithful because of them. It is amazing to see that in my life as well as in the people I work with. 
Anyways, that's all for this week!
Till next time,
Elder Parker
