A Quick Note Home - First day in the MTC

Hello!

First day was crazy! So much material and lots of classrooms but the food is good and it's been an awesome day! With the zone leaders now and they wanted us to send home an email letting y'all know that we're here and safe! I love and miss y'all so much! Let the kids know I'm thinking about them!

Ready to DO WORK!

Love,

Elder Justin Allen Parr

How this blog came to be.

Elder Justin Parr is serving as a full time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 2 years in the great state of Montana.

Elder Parr (Justin) does not post to or read this blog. Although he is aware of and approves it.

He is able to email home once a week and this is a sampling of his letters to share the work he is doing with his family and friends.

This blog was created as a means for others to share in Elder Parr's experiences and to better understand the service he has chosen to do in preaching the gospel to all who desire to hear.

His testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ is evident in his service.

It is managed by his mom. :) I hope you enjoy!

"When I looked up gospel in the bible dictionary it says that gospel means good news. The good news is that Jesus Christ has made a perfect atonement for mankind that will redeem all mankind from the grave and reward each individual according to his/her works. Our message is just that! It is good news! That wherever we are in our journey in life; the Lord knows each and every single one of us. He knows our desires, worries, dreams, hopes, inadequacies. He knows everything. And through His great and infinite atonement, as we lean on Him for strength and guidance, and not only our own, we can become strong and overcome anything in life! We can change our lives for good. Let go of something that has held us down. Become a new person! That is my challenge to anyone who reads this! To rely on our Savior and Redeemer for strength through daily prayer and scripture reading and learn more about HIS gospel! I promise you will find the greatest joy and happiness one can have!" ~Elder Parr
