Dear Family,

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! Ripe old age of 52! Hahaha hope you have a good day!
  I agree with you dad on Paul's writings in Romans. He is so confusing!!! President Miller gives us notes that we use to follow along but even with those it's hard to follow him.
  So yes transfers are happening this week. No clue what will happen because a lot of stuff is going to happen. On Friday, we had a mission conference with Elder Clayton in the presidency of the 70. He told us that a new mission will be formed from our mission and the north mission! In only one year our mission will have been divided twice! It's going to be called the Salt Lake City East Mission which will make 5 proselyting missions here in the valley. Pretty crazy huh? We were also told the names of the 2 new mission presidents (our mission and the East mission). The south mission president is a teacher right now up at BYU-Idaho. It's gonna get crazy here by July, I could potentially be in a new mission again!
  Taylor I have been in Scheels. It's in my area and so is that In-n-out on 123rd. Scheels is too nice to go into, and especially as missionaries(or RMs probably) everything is too expensive to buy! Haha we walk in sometimes and just imagine buying stuff.
  Another hard week this. Didn't teach any lessons at all. However we're still pushing forward and looking for those that are ready to receive us.
Hope all is well with y'all!
Love
Elder Parks

P.S I'll get more pictures/send the pictures again. I forgot my camera at home today.
