First,
President Richardson took us for the mission council to "The Crater."
It is an old volcano called pululahua. People live in the volcano. There
are only 5 (I think) volcanos in the world that are "inhabited" by
people, and this is one of them. That was a way cool experience, and it
was also the last time I will see my first companion here in the
mission. :( He leaves next week and is in the coast, about 13 hours
away. haha
Then this week, in the branch, for
the first time since the branch began, there were 100 people exactly
assisting! It was such a blessing. I have been thinking for a long time
how to help more people come to advance and progress, because before
there were 80-90 always going, but in the past few weeks, there have
only been 60-70. I have been praying a lot to know what more to do, and
the Lord responded this weekend in many different ways. I know that if
we seek His guidance, He will provide. In His own time, and in His own
way, but He will always provide.
Thank you all
for your prayers and support, and as we enter this Christmas season,
may we all reflect on the light that we have recieved because of a Babe
who was born in a manger. I know He lives, and I know He loves us.
Love, Elder Parker
