Dear Family,

Can you already believe it is July!?!?! Wow, time sure is going by really fast! It is crazy to think that one year ago, I was stressing about getting ready to go on a mission. It’s hard to believe I have almost been out a year. Don’t worry, I am not going to officially say anything until it happens. And yes, I will burn a white shirt! (No, not one I own, I will get it at a goodwill.

Tuesday was District meeting with the whole district. The Zone Leaders were there as well, so we had a big group. We learned a lot from the district and it was a really spiritual meeting. I thought that it went really well. I was very impressed with the outcome of the meeting.

We had a good lesson with Sarah Purcell, a girl that we are teaching. She has a strong testimony but she is still waiting on her parents. I think something is going on with her grandma so I don’t know if that will slow down things or if we will even get to meet her.

Matt Moore, a member here in Jackson, is going on his mission next week. He spoke on Sunday and did a really good job. All I know is that he kind of has a bad past and that people are really surprised at his turn around in his life. I am proud of him, he is a really good kid. We played Frisbee golf this morning with him and his friend. It was fun. I am not really good at that game though. Oh well! They had a big party on Saturday for him that that was neat for him

Other than that, I am excited for 4th of July. This is will be my first one on the mission. We are trying to get some more things going on but things are going just a little slow for now. I hope all is well with y’all, I love ya and thanks for your prayers, love and support. God bless y’all and America!

Love,

Elder Kyle Parker
