Dear mom and dad,
Well last week I received a special email from president because my group of missionaries will be coming home January 12th and because many of the universities begin only a few days before that many have asked if it is possible to go home a little bit early to enter classes for winter semester. I hadnt really thought about it because i didnt know it was an option, but this last week I have been considering it a lot more, praying and fasting a lot to know what I should do. First of all I was wondering if you could contact BYU to see if it is even a possiblitiy to enter for winter semester because I deffered until spring term. Also I was wondering if you could join with me in prayer to help me receive an answer with what I need to do. I have been trying to think about the pros and cons about the two options. There are many benefits about beinging to study in winter semester, but I want to be sure it is what God wants for me. What are your feelings about it? I need to decide before the end of June because after that it will be too late for me to change my flight so if you could call BYU this week and let me know the information that would be wonderful!! I love you both so much! THank you for your support. There are a lot of things changing in the mission lately and I have a lot of responsability to take on this cambio. I will be senior companion with another hermana that is going home in September and will be helping her to know how to be a sister training leader. Also because the amount of missionaries in our mission are decreasing they are closing a lot of sectors and the elders who were in our sector are getting taken out. That means that we have to also teach their investigators, converts, and less actives. I feel very peaceful but am going to need a lot of help from the Lord to complete the work he wants me to do in Collao. Please pray for me to have the strength to be even more consecrated and to be able to follow the prompting of the holy ghost.
Thank you for everything. I loved my package! It was perfect. Thank you so much. It was very thoughtful. I am good for now. Because Hermana Blau is ending the mission I pretty much got all of her stuff so im set for quite a while. I love you both and pray for you every day. Have a wonderful week!!
ALL MY LOVE,
Hermana Parkin
