Parker Update

Parker has now been in the MTC for 4 weeks and has 12 days to go until he flies to Trinidad.  He's doing great and is thriving in the MTC.  We are so proud of him and all the hard work he's putting in.  He's learning so much Dutch already! We're very excited for him!
 His name-tag in Dutch.
 His very small district.  He's the district leader.
Sister Parker (he says she has a cool name), Elder Burr, Elder Buehler, and Elder Hunt 
(He's in a trio and poor Sister Parker is a solo missionary)
 Part of his zone.  There are 70 elders in his zone and 1 sister.
They speak Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish in their zone.
 Already writing in Dutch the first week! 
 Parker in his study perch.
 Yes, he is sitting on top of his closet!
 Hanging up the flag in their room.
 They had an ugly tie draft and Parker got the "Dirty Bird" tie. 
Parker with Eldste Hall (who tells him he wants to kill him ... all in love of course)! 
Parker and Elder Osguthorp who Parker has bonded with.  He said he want to room with him when he goes to BYU.
More Dutch translating.  He's doing so awesome!
And, it wouldn't be Parker if he didn't have an injury!
We love getting his emails each week!  You can read them on his blog.  www.elderparkerburr.blogspot.com
