02-10-14--Life is What We Make of It
02/10/14
my fam and all who cares to hear from a jew boi out here in argentina
thanks to everybody who felt
bad for me "el Pobre" out here and hittin me up with some birthday
shoutouts! my birthday is coming in hot on saturday. i guess im gonna be an old
fart at 19 years old
dont you worry ive let my
whole ward know its my birthday...
for the love i hope they dont
make me eat dinners at every house because they just give food non stop... ive
learned how to say no without offending them though sooooo its all good now :)
i just finished this transfer
and slam dunked 6 months in argentina...
6 months of cheeto chopping
satan right in the face
its reyyyyy loco or way
crayyy in others words to think ive been here 6 months... time goes by suppper
fast and other times it feels like eternity since i used to take naps with my
best pooch lenny at home or rubbb my dads way nice belly, or go out to lunch or
dinner with my mommy
but its been 6 months of
LEARNING!
man have i learned so
much.... so many things that have made me into such a better son to my heavenly
father
and so many things ive
learned of how i need to be so much better than i am right now.
ive learned that life is what
we make of it. the mission is what you make of it
ive learned that every day we
have opportunities.
opportunities to grow, stay the same or decrease
we have the blessing of
making our own decisions, to take advantage of what life throws at us....
when it comes down to it..
are our decisions bringing us closer to our relationship with our heavenly
father or not?
are we following the example
of jesus christ?
umm just to let you know what
my ward is like...
we probably have a list of
400 members and about 50 are in the sacrament meeting.
if it rains... nobody comes
to church... or at least a few do :)
the members are so awesome
and they love their missionaries
sometimes i just wish they
would give me less food and more references to teach people! then they could
kick satan in the shins along with all of the other missionaries... the lords
work isnt just for missionaries.. its for members at home who work with the
missionaries!
ive learned so much this week
about how much our heavenly father loves us
he gave us this gospel for
the pure fact of that he loves us
he gave us family because he
loves us
this gospel makes families
strong!
i have seen so many things
this week of family having so many problems and honestly the gospel is the only
thing that is keeping these families together right now!
me and elder peterson are
staying together for another transfer!! yehadfjasdñfjdsf wooooo, its soo cool right??
mega dance move when i heard
we would be together for another transfer
i slammed a sweeet move down
on the streets when we got the call
ooo yeah parker you are my
brother and i havent gotten a letter from you for like 5 months soooo dont be a
homo and write me
elena..... im calling you
out... write me because i want to hear how fifi is and i want to hear how
spencers big ol biceps are doing!
man o man baby girl do i love
my family!! one of the greatest lessons you learn on a mission! i hope all is
well at home
no kissing on valentines
because thats cukkkkka
in a bit.
i love you
i love this gospel

Note
from Julie: I heard from one of the missionary mom’s in Cole’s group that
last week the missionaries put together a big ward party. I had sent Cole
the movie, “Ephraim’s Rescue” for his b-day, hoping at some point he would be
able to show it to the members. Wham, it sounds like he did. They
invited everyone and put up a makeshift movie screen and popped popcorn and
watched the movie. That’s my boyJ
