In
the orient, things are a little bit different because there are 2
cities in our mission out here that are about 2 hours apart. So there
are 6 missionaries in Coca (the other city) and 6 here in Lago Agrio. To
be able to manage everything better the president split the zone
leaders up as well. Normally there are 2 together, but here, I am in
Lago and the other zone leader is in Coca. We also travel every other
week to the other city to have zone/district meeting. This week we did
it in Coca. So instead of going from Quito to Lago, then Coca super
early the next morning, I just went to Coca with the other zone leader.
And they have air conditioning in their house :)
But
today we had an interesting experience cleaning our house, and it has
to do with cockroaches. In our fridge... Now before you start to judge
us or start to think that we are just messy and dirty kids, let me
explain. We were cleaning it all out, and I took the cover off of the
water dispenser on the outside of the fridge to clean it out. I pull off
the cover and there it is. A big fat cockroach. Unfortunately I don´t
have a pic because, well, just because I forgot to take a pic.. I took
the foto after of where it was. But it was there with all its baby
cockroaches. But now: Problem solved. 👍
In
this time that I have been in the orient, I have had the privilege to
work very closely with many of God´s children, and it has strengthened
the testimony of the divine potential that we all have as children of
God to learn and grow and progress. I have also had the privilege to see
the Lord´s hand work and move things in His church to hasten the work. I
know that the Lord works through His servants that He has called. He
moves the pieces.
Thank you for all your support.
I saw this video and it touched me a lot. The Lord has something for all of us to do. I know this church is true.
Love,
Elder Parker
