Someone was tired!

3 Liters...drink away just not the WATER!

Love his missionary tag ... Elder Parque

The flight was good and the APs picked us up at the airport and then we had a two hour bus drive to Cuernavaca but it wasn't that bad. It's so beautiful down here it's really green hilly and the food is absolutely amazing !!! I wasn't able to work a lot because we were in a tri-companionship for this first week but that elder is leaving which is good because he was really lazy and didn't want to work. But Elder Hessing and I are going to do great we have some big goals but we can do it! The language is tough but I'm hopefully picking it up haha but I'm not to worried about it...it's not like I have to talk to these people or anything haha...hows Texas? I bet really hot it's not too bad down here.

I'm doing great and love you all just keeping thinking about me and my Spanish.

Con Amor Elder Park

Ok so the flight over was awesome and Mexico City is huge !!! We were over it for a good 10 minutes. So the APs picked us up and took us to Cuernavaca... I'll start off by saying the food is amazing here. I was never a big fan of Mexican food until now and its absolutely amazing!! The first week was tough because we had an extra elder with us and he was sick for the entire time and just is really frito!! It's ok he's gone and Elder Hessing and I are going to do awesome things...the only hard part right now is Spanish they speak so fast and I not so fast haha but that will come with time and work hopefully lol but I love you and I pumped up the Football today it was a glorious thing haha...hows on the Cover of NCAA 13 just wondering love y'all!

Sister Kusch's email - Mission President's wife!

This email and picture came as a 'SURPRISE' on June 23rd from Elder Park's Mission President's Wife:

Sister Park,

I wanted to let you know that we got to meet your great Elder tonight at the Mission President's Seminar. He is doing wonderful and will make a fantastic missionary. It was so good to be with him and hear his testimony.

I asked him to write a little note to you and here it is:

Mother! I met my mission president and his wife Kusch! I want to let you know that I'm great. I pray for y'all every prayer, which is a lot. I hope everything is going great. I challenge y'all to read the B.O.M. and read cada dia (every day).

Love y'all more than you can imagine!
Love, Elder Park.

I want you to know that we will take very good care of your son.

Con amor,
Hermana Kusch

VEGAS!!!

Elder Park's emails from last week - July 10th! In the subject line was: VEGAS!!!

Well everything is going well. I know that I'm going to leave the MTC on time because 5 of us are going to Las Vegas tomorrow to receive our Visa's and do something. I don't know why were leaving to go to Vegas but its whatever...Mexicans are so weird. Well that's cool that Jaxson finally got his call but I have to wait more until he opens it . My Spanish is getting better day by day. As being ZL's all I really do is go to a lot of meetings on Sundays and after each day visit the Zone and talk about the Gospel or questions that they have...I love being the ZL because I get to meet new elders and become better friends and just serve them. I'm sorry for Aunt Marla and for Uncle Elmo. I hope that he is doing OK. I bet he is because he has the gospel and knows it is true and that he will see her again for time and all eternity. Well I love you so much and glad for you example to me.

Con Amor Your favorite Elder Park

pues this wednesday 5 of us are leaving for VEGAS to recieve our Visas so that means I will be leaving the MTC soon and On time for mexico !!!

estoy muy agradecido por el CCM y por mi Maestros. estoy agradecido por las escrituras Y todo las palabras de dios. Yo se que cuando nosotros leemos el LDM y SB nosotros sentiremos el espiritu santo o el amor de Dios. Gracias por todo sus ejemplos en mi vida!!

Yo se que la Iglesia is verdadera y que mediante Jesucristo estaremos limpios Con Amor

SO, how funny it was to read he was going to VEGAS! I'm thinking to myself...no one asked me if he could fly to VEGAS!!!

Tyler had been on my mind all day Tuesday and Wednesday and on Wednesday I received this picture and text:

I just met your son at the UNLV Institute. He's doing great.
He's here today to work on getting his visa.

I'm from Sandy, Utah working here this week.

I sent a text back asking why they were there and this was his response:

They were there to process their visas. They take them to the institute and usually over to the temple

while they're there. Usually just a one day trip.

It was such a wonderful surprise, tender mercy, and answered prayer to a missionary mom from someone I don't know.

Thank you!

Tyler thought this was SO hilarious that he had to take a picture ... PLAID FAMILY!

The next few pictures might be duplicates but they were on Tyler's camera.

Salt Lake City Temple

At the Provo Temple parking lot getting in a few throws with dad before going into the MTC.

Elder Park and Elder Evans (Bountiful, UT) - Zone Leaders! Check out his tan towel...yes it's folded and hung up!

Once a week the Elder's get to go the Provo Temple.

The sign says "PLEASE DON'T WRITE ON SIDEWALKS"! People (girls) try to write messages on the sidewalks with chalk so their missionaries can see it on their way to the Provo Temple.
