Mission Conference
Dear Family and Friends,
It has been a pretty crazy week and I am going to keep this short. My entire zone traveled to Corrientes Friday night to spend the night in the apartments of the missionaries that live there so that we could wake up bright and early Saturday morning and travel the last 40 minutes to Resistencia for our special mission conference with Elder Christofferson.
We made it to Corrientes pretty late at night and slept on hard tile floor (there were only 2 beds and 6 sisters) in smothering heat. But my gift for sleeping really came in handy and I managed to sleep a good 4 or 5 hours despite the conditions. In the end, it was all more than worth it to get to meet and listen to an Apostle speak. We also got to listen to Sister Christofferson, and Elder and Sister Jensen (of the 70) and Elder and Sister Foster (of the area 70).

Next week I will share some things from the notes I took. For now I will leave you with my testimony. I am so thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know the atonement is real. For me, belief in Jesus Christ is unflinching, immovable faith in the good and in the power of goodness and light to overthrow darkness and sadness and destruction. I have seen this first hand in my short time in Argentina as I have seen the changes people experience when they choose to come to Jesus Christ. This belief pentrates to my very core and it makes me an optomistic person--I have hope in a better world through living the gospel. I am thankful to know that Gods speaks and leads His church today. I am thankful for a living prophet and apostles.
Until next week,
Hermana Parker
