Jojutla is a municipality in the state of Morelos, Mexico. Its municipal seat is the city of Jojutla de Juárez. The towns of Tequesquitengo and Huautla as well as Lake Tequesquitengo are also located in the municipality. 

Well family we had changes today and I have officially left Amilcingo and now I’m in JOJUTLA!!!  I also have a new companion and he’s great so far.  His name is Elder Rodriguez and this is his last change in the mission and so I’m going to try extra hard to help him finish the mission strong and good.  I had great time in Amilcingo but I guess the Lord wants me to be in Jojutla.  Jojutla is the hottest part of state of Morelos but its not very hot because its winter right now so it’s pretty cool and a little bit cold.  My time with Elder Alvarez was tough not only because of the Spanish, but because we butted heads a little bit and he’s a little bit different in how to work. I learned a lot of things from this companionship and how to interact with people that I don’t really like but have to talk with...so it was a really good learning experience of me.  It’s kind of sad because right before I left I started to talk with a inactive family that I liked a lot. The husband loves Football American football and he’s a Steelers fan…I guess that’s why he is inactive haha.  We were talking about football and things like that and really just sports and at the end of talking with this family I asked them if they would come to church and they went but now I left and I’m in Jojutla its funny how things like happen. 

I know my Spanish has gotten better because I can understand and speak a lot better than before.  Now it’s another challenge with the language and I know if I do my part all will be good.  It’s funny again because the last companion of Elder Rodriguez was Elder Evans my comp in the MTC so that’s pretty cool.  It’s cool too because Elder Hessing is my Zone Leader and he’s in my district and so I will be seeing a lot of him soon.  Well Family I’m so glad that I have a family like you and that y’all are there for me and all that jazz.  I hope that y’all are doing your part to receive blessings by keeping the commandments and being faithful.  I love y’all and have a great week!

Por medio de nuestros Aflicions y Dificultades podemos superar y vencer estas pruebas en la vida.  Para Que podamos llegar a ser mas como nuestro Salvador y Redentor Jesucristo.  Siguen el Camino de Dios mediante 3 cosas.  1 orar  2 Estudiar las Escrituras  3 Obedecer los Mandamientos  si hagamos estas cosas vamos a tener muchismas bendicions les amo

Through our Afflictions and difficulties we can overcome and defeat these tests in life so that we can become more like our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Follow the path of God through 3 things: 1 Prayer; 2 studying the Scriptures; 3 Obey the Commandments.  If we do these things, we are going to have blessings. Thank you very much I love you!

Temple and Baptism

Well Family everything is going great here in Amilcingo Mexico.  I’m trying to be the best I can be in all things that I’m doing.  I’m trying to have patience with Elder Alverez but he’s super stubborn and doesn’t like to do things that I want to do. I have 5 messes and he has 8 or 9 but it doesn’t matter.  I’m a Park and so I’m the Boss haha.   We’re going to Find, Teach, and Baptize people who will be converted to the Gospel.  I’m doing better with the language. I still have tough times but I’m learning how to speak and understand.  The baptism with Rosario went great and we felt the spirit really strong.  I’m grateful for the blessing that I have and that now Rosario will have.  The Temple was amazing!!!! Super beautiful! It is the most beautiful temple in all of the world because it’s in my Home!!!  I love the people here, it’s different, but it’s my home.  Hope turkey day is going great and GO COWBOYS THEY’RE GOING TO GO THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR.  Boo Texans sorry Hannah but their chafismas.  Translation they are really bad haha. 

Here with the comp is going good but we just have to get over a few things but it’s all good.  I’m super excited for the 23 of this month, this Friday, because I’m going to complete...wait for it....6 MONTHS IN THE MISSION!!!  Man has it gone fast. I’m super scared that pretty soon I’m going to have to leave home for my home but I’m going to focus on this right now.  I’m doing great.  I’m learning so much as a servant of the Lord.  I want to tell you something that I learned in the temple.  When we have frustrations in our life with people, or work, just remember how Christ felt when he was hung on the cross and what he said to the all the people that were mocking him and torturing him.  He said to the Father forgive them for they know not what they do.  If we can have more of this attitude or Charity the world will be a better place in TEXAS and MEXICO.

Familia quiero testificarles que se que esta iglesia es la Iglesia de Jesucristo y que El da revelacion a Thomas S Monson para que podamos tener mas de su conocimiento y sabio.  Estoy agradecido por los Templos y por el Espiritu de ellos.  Familia aunque yo tenga muchas pruebas y afliciones como Misionero y humano estoy agradecido por este Evangelio de Dios.  Que podemos ser salvos por medio de la expiacion de Jesucristo.  Esta iglesia no es una iglesia de cosas para hacer en facto es un Evangelio de Promesas que nos invitan para hacer cosas para que podamos tener mas bendicions y la felizidad en la Vida.  Les amo con todo de mi corazon...Estas Cosas SON VERDADERAS se que eso

Con Amor Elder Park...Disfruten el dia de gracias y coman mucha pay de calabeza por mi jaja




Translation:

Family would like to testify that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and that he gives revelation to Thomas S. Monson so that we can have more knowledge and be wise. I am grateful for the temples and the spirit of them. Family, although I have many tests and afflictions as a missionary and human, I am grateful for this Gospel of God that we can be saved through the atonement of Jesus Christ. This church is not a church of things to do, in fact, it is a Gospel of promises that invite us to do things so that we can have more blessings and happiness in life. I love y’all with all my heart...These things ARE REAL AND TRUE!

With love Elder Park...Enjoy Thanksgiving and eat a lot of turkey for me!
