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.

This week on "The Mission"

So really cool thing happened! Elder Yamashita who spoke at conference (in Oct) right before i left came and spoke to us. Just the japanese missionaries and bore his testimony to us with his wife. later that day he also spoke at devotional to the entire MTC but it was so special being able to shake his hand and talk to him for a few minutes. :) the natives got here this week and we've spent alot of time getting to know them and practice our Japanese with native speakers :) I'm having a great time but i can't wait to get out of the MTC and go over to japan, i got the package with the hoodie and shirt and the care package with all the snacks. thanks. it really means alot to me :) and i feel terrible about asking this but could you please send me my school backpack? the grey and black one with the 2 clips on the back?its much bigger than the backpack i have and I'm going to need it for the books and such that i need to take with me. we get to be hosts this wed, bringing new missionaries into the MTC and helping show them to their classes. I'm super excited! my zone and district are doing great. everyone is getting along well. oh, I'm district leader now, and will be in charge of all the elders in my class until we all leave for japan. kind of an intimidating task but i suppose I'm kind of used to it. how are all the animals doing? and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! sorry it's a little late... how are you doing in school? did you do well on your super difficult test? i hope so. how are the cars doing? you haven't hurt my mustang anymore have you? hahaha. i can't wait to get to japan. I'm ready for it. even though i don't know the language and im scared to death i cant wait :) tell the primary kids that i love and miss teaching them each Sunday. tell me about life. love you all.
Love, Parker/Sims Choro
