Elder Parker Sims...

...is currently preparing to be DEPORTED TO JAPAN. Ok so not quite. He is preparing to serve a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Sapporo, Japan. He will be in the MTC starting on October 5, 2011 to study and learn the Japanese language. There is no doubt he will be an amazing missionary and a major blessing to the people that he will encounter.

Continuing On

So, cool thing happened this week. our class was chosen out of the entire MTC to be the representitives for the MTC and be the example district for a white house dignitary i honestly cant remember his name but he is incharge of corresponding with all the religions in the US and such, young guy. 31 i think. also the really cool part was that Elder Hinkley (pres. Hinkleys' son and wife came too :) SUPER AWESOME EXPERIENCE!
on the down side one of our brothers went home yesterday, so from a super high to a super low so now im the senior companion of the only elder tripanionship on the zone. its almost scary when one day one of the beds are just empty... but he'll be back. he's not the kind of guy to just quit.
the under classmen got here and alot of them have a buch of japanese background and they are further along than i am and its they're second day. kinda discourageing but at the same time its all good. whats happening at home? how the whole masters thing going? mom you should write me more than just "write me i miss you" because i want to know whats going on over there and in the world. i'm kinda cut off from all news of any sort. i miss yall but time is going so fast here. its like the days are weeks but the weeks are days. its a crazy feeling. only 4 weeks till we ship out to Sapporo. :) super excited. :) languare is coming.
i love you guys, write me back please.
Love, Parker.
