Week 14: Mission Tour

Hello all!

This week was fun as always. The highlight of it all however was when Elder Whiting, a member of the 70 came and spoke to us. It was really cool! The entire mission gathered together in a chapel in Tacoma and basically filled every pew. He talked a lot about serving with our heart, might, mind and strength. He said that most of us serve with our might and strength but we should try and serve more with our heart and mind as well. He told us to do all we can to continually seek guidance from the Holy Ghost instead of relying on ourselves. It was a really cool talk. He talked for like 2.5 hours too, without a script! Which I thought was pretty impressive. After that, the whole mission had lunch together. It was awesome to see people I knew from the MTC and who had gotten transferred out of my zone last transfer.

The work out in Yelm is picking up pace as well! We have found several people interested by knocking and have received a bunch of referrals from members and other missionaries. It is super cool that we have gotten to know the ward well enough for them to trust us with the people around them. That is always the hardest part about referrals.

Anyways, that's all for now! Have a good week!

Love

Elder Parker
