Hi, Mom. So, first things first, I am now working in my very
first BRANCH! We had a solid 80 attendance last Sunday (including around 10
visitors), and we are also the Young Men's Organization. That being said, the
first counselor gave us the permission and privilege of machete-ing all 3 of
our Aaronic Priesthood holders to behave how they should. I felt a little bad,
but at the same time, I am the new Young Men's Secretary, after all. I gotta do
my job somehow, hahaha! Anyway, so not only are we four missionaries also the
Young Men's Organization, but we're also in charge of the Family History, and
the Activities Coordinators. As "unorganized" as this branch may
sound, I have heard that there have been (and may still are) worse branches.
So, I have hope, and not just because I'm here :P Even though it may seem that
my companion and I complain a lot about the situation and circumstances here,
we've also been discussing potential solutions with each other. I apologize
that my entry for this week isn't too long, but I can explain that it's because
of all the work and amazing stuff that we've been doing here. I can only hope
that we can get this branch up and running how it should be, and perhaps one of
those blessings could be a 100 minimum attendance. Until next week, guys, keep
praying often, I love you guys a ton, and thanks again for all the love,
prayers, and support while I've been here. Take care!!!
Con Sinceridad y Amor,
Elder Conner Duane "Poderoso" Parke
PS: I apologize again that I wasn't able to
send any pictures this week! Please forgive me!
