This message will be short because we just got back from the beach and I don´t have a lot of time to write! But pictures speak louder than words so I´ll attach a few of the pictures I took. I took a ton but I´ll just attach the best ones.
Today for Pday we went to a beach called La Boquíta and it was absolutely beautiful. The beach was a lot different than I had expected it to be. Other than all the missionaries there were only about 5 other people there! We walked around, took pictures, and played soccer on the beach. It was a great Pday, but I am exhausted now and very sunburnt. I think by the time these two years are up I´ll basically be hispanic because my arms and face will be so tan.
It was great to call home last night! As you noticed, my English is getting worse and worse as my Spanish is improving. I had a very difficult time structuring my sentences in English! I hope I was able to answer all your questions though. More than anything it was just great to talk to and hear from all of you!
This past week was pretty normal. We had a conference on Tuesday with a member of the 70 named James E. Martino and it was incredible. He talked about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how even as missionaries we need to repent every day for our weaknesses and sins. I learned so much and it has helped me a lot this week as I´ve tried to improve personally in order to better help our investigators.
I love and miss each one of you! You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Elder Parrish
