Woo Hoo! Go Mitch!! Excited for your promotion and move!!
My new companion is from Boise, Idaho...yeah his dad did serve in Tokyo but his dad is only 46 right now...so not the same...his name is Rich Clements (the dad)
He is way easy to get along with, nothing bothers him. We had really good homemade spaghetti the other day with Brazililan beef in it, way good. I am excited to eat more Brazillian food here!
hahahaha
thank you!! I love that birthday song!
I look forward to seeing miracles right up to the end so ganbaro!!
haha ok thanks,
yeah I love the area here, it is way pretty and I think it will be way fun! I don't remember visiting here when we lived in Japan. All the names and places run together in my mine. But then you mention it, I remember parts about it. I guess I have a bad memory. hahaha
and by the way, I had no idea Heather was getting married. You are slipping because you keep me informed about everyone. hahaha!! I guess we both have memory things now.
COOL! That will be an awesome reunion! I am sending an email out to everyone that I want us all to go to the temple together when I get home. Can you make that happen for me?
Hey Everyone!
So I was thinking about when I get home and the temple and us going as a family. In order to do so I would like to commit each of you to prepare yourselves to be able to enter the temple as a family the day after I get home, June 25.
I am sure you are already doing this anyways but I thought this will be a good goal to set together.
So lets do what we have to do to enter the temple!
Love you tons!!

WEEKLY:
Hey Family!!
So I am officially in my new area of Okazaki and loving all the Sakura blooming!! We were able to go to a matsuri, festival, saturday night and had tons of fun!! My companion was in the MTC with me, just six weeks behind me. We will be going home at the same time in June so are interested to see what happens with transfers this time!!
Well my portuguese as been resurrected and we are teaching some awesome brazillians. One of them, Elaine, set a date with us for her baptism on May 2nd so we are working with her to get all that going well. Her family is all way strong Evangelical and is very opposed to her doing anything else. That is the biggest thing keeping her back and she is kind of apprehensive about saying anything too bold. So we are praying with her for that and fasted for that purpose yesterday.
I had a neat experience the other day, saturday, through giving Sister Koyama a blessing. Sister Koyama, who, by the way, is my former companion Elder Koyama:s older sister, got in a bike wreck last week and said her back still hurts. So after we went out with a recent convert to eat she asked one of us to give her a blessing.
We then went to the church to do so. As i began speaking I immediately felt the power of God with me. It was as if i was being led into what to say. I was amazed at the truth and power of the Priesthood as manifest to me through a blessing. I was guided to say things that were pretty bold and know that God wanted them to be said. I know God lives and loves us. As we worthily use His Priesthood more miracles will happen in our lives. I know that God is waiting to help us and will as we call out to Him in humility.
I love you tons and am so happy for all the good things going on in your lives.
Good luck this week!Love elder parks
