Week 51: 21st Birthday, Elder Parker and Thank you!

January 8, 2019 Hey yeah this week was really good! And I am going to tell you more about it tonight when I have more time to email. So I am staying in Aberdeen and I am training Elder Parker! He is from California! He is such a funny and great guy. It will be a great transfer and we will be in the same flat as everyone else! Today we have to hurry and go so we can go do something fun for my birthday! We are planning to go to a castle and Five Guys for lunch and then to Sister Milne’s for dinner. So I am going to have to shut it off right now!!!!  ………

Ok sorry for the short email this morning I found more time for my loving mother!!!! So this week wasn’t too crazy!!! At the start we were able to watch lots of movies my favorite was Angels in the Outfield!!! It killed me…so funny!!! Well so on Tuesday night I drove down to The Burgh for meetings. The next day I didn't have to go to meeting which was the best!! Oh and so because of the holidays and the departing missionaries we stayed there so I was able to spend time with all the boys (Elders) I love so it was nice!!!!  But anyway the next day I just went finding in the morning and went and saw Brother Myles! I miss that man so we went over and chilled with him for a while!!! He is doing good! Then we went to the mission home so I could go to some meetings. Then I met ELDER PARKER!!!! He is so funny we are going to have a great transfer together so it will be good!!!!!!

Umm during the week we were able to teach a lot of people and as well set up a lot of things for the coming week! So it should be good!!!! My favorite thing during the week was on Sunday we went to the Warks (the family we have a little connection with). So we went to their home this week for dinner and to talk about the missionary work in the ward! It was really good! Brother Wark is amazing I honestly love his family and look up to them!!!! He really did help me in so many ways the other day! So I am very thankful for him! He was like hard on me but at the same time was pushing me to be good so it is awesome I miss things like that! So I am very thankful for it! 

 Well mom and dad, I want you to know I love you! I LOVE YOU so MuCH!!!! It’s crazy to think that 21 years ago I came in to the world! As I look back I am one of the luckiest kids in the world to have been brought up with 2 annoying yet amazing sisters that still annoy me (just kidding) but I love them so much, and to have two loving parents that did everything for me, and to be brought up in Gods true Church!!!! I am very thankful for you guys and the promises you have made with God, because of those promises and covenants I have been blessed tenfold! I PRAY MY FUTURE WILL BE LIKE YOURS AND DADS! 

I love you so much and hope you have a great week! Make sure to have a fun day with dad for his birthday!!!

Love,

Elder O’Connor
