Its kind of weird in the sense that its not weird that I'm 20 and one year older than 19. I feel the same and the church is still true. If this is what I am going to feel like, not any different, still the same guy just more studly and knowledgeable, no matter how old I get, my whole life, then..... its going to be weird to take those next steps in life like being married and having children. How did you guys do it?
We had the most awesome morning side this morning at the Church. An LDS comedian named Jason Hewlitt came and spoke to the seminary kids. Parents and missionaries were invited so, we all went. He is my new favorite idol. YOu should look him up on youtube. He spoke to us about his life and his mission and the goofy talents that he developed as a child. He grew eup always being the funny guy and impressing people with his impressions. But, when he got on his mission his mission pres told him that he needed to be serious. So, for the first couple of months he was dead serious as a missionary. He was reading one day in DC and found a scripture that prompted him to show his companion some of the "funny things" he could do. His companion then taught him that there was a "time and a place" for his weird and goofy talents. AFter that experience he started to do funny things to some of the people in brazil and had great success in doing it. He was awesome. I wish you guys could see him. He says he's performing in Gilbert next week but that its for a private convention. look him up and tell me what you guys think. He shared a powerful testiomony about using talents. He has such and ambitious spirit about him. He's performed all over the place and has been on Jay Leno a couple of times I guess.
I will write more next week about actual missionary work. I feel that there is definitely some unfinished business that needs to happen in Helena and as of now things are going good!
See Ya. this week = mr pibb and red vines.
so sick.

Well. You are probably wondering where I am now. Let me just tell you that I am not in Wyoming.
I am not in Billings
I am not in Kalispell
I am not in Glendive
I am not in Great Falls
I am not in Missoula
I am not in Bozeman
gIVE up Yet?
I AM IN HELENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello. This is your son, Parker, I am turning 20 this week. WOW. I am going on 11 months in the mission field and ........... 6 months in HELENA. WHOWOOOOOWWHOSOHLsdf, Yep thats right I stayed baby. Elder JENSEN = SEE YA to Riverton, WY and I get Elder Lewis. Hes only been out 4 months and is coming from Worland, WY. He is the nicest kid I have ever met. So nice and quiet and complimentary. I honestly feel very blessed to have him and to help him progress and grow as a missionary. THe only thing I could do is love him once I noticed that the whole left side of his body has been, for lack of better words, crippled. He was born and had a stroke as a baby, which as a result, made the whole left side of his body weaker and more feeble than his right side. He wears a size 9 shoe on his left foot and size 11 on his right. He walks with a slight limp and He is awesome. Just has a big smile on his face in everything we do and has the biggest heart. I love him.
Well, I dont know what to say. Helena is the place for me. There are so many things going on. We rescheduled to have Rod and Lisa over at the Maddox's house for a dinner and lesson. It fell through last night but should be good for next Monday. We are eating tonight with Melissa B. Holli M and Marie M are planning to get their patriarchal blessings within the next month. Scott is getting ready to bless the sacrament. etc etc. Many good things have happened and many good things are to come.
We taught Mary B last night and it went awesome. The parents are awesome. They weren't very receptive but still sat in and listened and are all ok with Mary getting baptized. All we have to do is a set a baptismal date and things will be good.
A couple quick random things that you should know: first, Elder Goff is staying in Helena which is sweet but what isn't is his parents getting a divorce. He's pretty bummed about that. I am too. He's had a rough week. Elder Robison and Elder Moore got doubled out. Elder Moore went to Laurel to be with Elder Journey and Elder Robison went to Great Falls to be a Zone Leader. Elder Conway and Elder Coker came in. They are both over 230 lbs and could be named fat Albert. Elder Lanham is training and thats about it for our district.
Next thing is that we are giving the Boulder Branch over to 5th ward Elders because they are only covering one ward and we just stick with 1st and 3rd wards now. Bro Wear is Boulders new branch mission leader and Bro Palmer is now the Branch priesthood leader. I will take you guys to Boulder one day.
Speaking of Boulder, we went out to Basin last week, which is part of the Boulder Branch, to see what it was like. Basin is about 7 miles down the interstate from Boulder and is/was mainly a place for the far out people in the world to gather to. Lots of interesting folks, let me tell ya. i.e. Homosexuals, Felons, Nature lovers, etc. etc. It was plain weird, but an awesome experience. I probably almost got mauled by over 5 dogs in 5 hours. Its scary. You rattle peoples fences to see if they have any dogs and if none come around the back side of the house or from the doggy door then you go for it. But, sometimes the dogs dont come out even though you can see dog tracks all over the yard so you still just have to go for it. Then, when you knock at the door you pretty much hear a stampede of buffalo and next thing you know there is a pack of pit bulls about to kill you. Its crazy. I wish that they would jsut come out when you rattle the fence but for some reason they don't come out until you knock at the door.
The mission life is great though. Luke and John are pretty much out of the picture now. We got the Stiles family to church last sunday. Charlene H (the LA lady that we ran into) called us at 3:00 in the morning because she had canceled her appt earlier that day due to depression and stayed up until 3 debating whether or not she should invite us back. It scared me to death, waking up at three to a phone call and then to see her name on the caller ID. No way did I answer. It was just weird though.
Well thats all; I got for this week.
As always this week is going to be... so sick x2 (pound pound)

So sick x2
Wheres my email from the Garcias. I want to hear about the married life. Theyve almost been together for close to 2 transfers now. Just like Elder Jensen and I.
Things are good. This is the last week of the transfer. By Sunday one of us will be gone. Like I said before, I am ready for the next transfer. Next MOnday I will be writing to you guys with a new companion or in a new area. Be ready.
The goood things of the week: Mary B will officially have her first lesson with the missionaries and her parents at her own home on 18th! whoo whoo. Bub rub and lil sis. The bummer about that is that one of us will most likely be gone. I'm really selfish. I want to stay. I actually think that I will stay too, but, whatever. There's lots going on and I like the people. I don't like them. I love them! Helena is a place that I could live. Not that I want to live in...but a place that I definitely could live in. I was just talking to one of the high councilors the other day and He said that he served his mission in Montana and served in Helena about 1990 to 91. Interesting I though. Right after my thoughts about staying and Living in Helena.
We are also looking forward to teaching the Hoffman family that we ran into a week and a half ago. They canceled their last appt and reshceduled for saturday. Rod and Lisa are doing good. Last MOnday night we went over there and It went really well. They are all happy. We are trying to get Lisa to set another baptismal date. We will be going over there tonight. It should be a splendid and marvelous visit. Jordan H is still coming to church but her mom has not given consent yet. I think she was a member then had the kids out of wedlock and experienced some cold shoulders from a lot of people. I think thats what turned her off a while back. Bro Bangerter and his wife were going to try to go over to their place to talk to her about it sometime this week. Bro Bangerter said that he got offended when he was about 19 because he didnt serve a mission and got lots of comments, looks, etc. I thought that was pretty cool and am hoping that things go through.
I like that they are having priesthood and relief society go through the gospel principles book. We had some awesome lessons yesterday.
I dont know if Ive told you about Wayne and Shawna yet but they are doing good. Wayne is a less active guy who is the man. He works at the BK lounge. HIs wife is not a member along with his two daughters who are 9 and 5yrs old. If Icould only start to explain their personalities and problems, etc ,etc, etc lkdjao ekt teec etkec.... we would be here for a while. You would have over 10 pages of me typing. They are awesome. Thats all Im gonna say for this week.
Thats about it for the week. Its Cold and My socks are growin Mold. Whooo weee.

Hey I'm in Montana...
This last week was another doozee. Im glad that Christmas and new years are over so that we can get back to the normal schedule. That will be nice. Everybody is anxious for transfers like we always are. I have no idea what will happen.
Story: Anthony B is an 18 yr old boy with a similar story to Thien Ngyuen(?) and Krissy Althoff. He grew up with LDS friends, went to seminary, then turned 18 (this last may) and was baptized by one of his best friends. HIs little sister, Mary, is 13 and has been coming to chruch, YW's, all that jazz ever since he was baptized, almost a year ago. Her parents deal was that she could go to church, young womens, again, all that chruch stuff as long as she wanted but would have to wait until she is 18 to be baptized. In the last couple months, Anthony has told his parents that he wants to serve a mission and has asked for their support. Just about about 2 weeks ago his parents told him that he would be supported. He plans to leave in May. Just yesterday, Anthony talked to us and said that his sister wants to be baptized before HE leaves in May. They were going to talk to their parents last night and let us know on Wedneday what the verdict is. IS THAT NOT SWEET OR WHAT? We are pretty excited. Im going to be selfish and say that I hope elder Jensen goes at the end of the transfer and I stay. Some good things are happening. They always seem to happen after I write you guys too. LIke on Tuesdays and Mondays good things always happen.
Story #2: Last Tuesday we went tracting and I think I told you but, It was just the most horrible day. For some reason I just had no motivation, AT ALL, to do anything. I was tired and grouchy and tired and mad and tired and unmotivated and tired..... IT was not a good day. But, with a little perseverance, diligence, and coach parkerness; we did what we had planned for the previous night, and began to tract out the planned for area. within an hour.....we had gotten into someones home and got onto mormon.org to teach them about the restoration and about continuing revelation. We watched some little clips with Jeffrey R. HOlland speaking. they werent interested but, hey, what the heck. next, gave a book of mormon away, had over 8 quality gospel conversations, ran into a less active lady with her non-member son and husband in which we have a return appt for this Saturday, and last but not least, got asked to come back to an old lady's house. BAM. Wasssup baby. Thats right. We came off Conqueror.
Other than those two stories, just the regular. We got back in with Rod & Lisa and hope to set another baptismal date with her. Also, Jordan H. Its been tough trying to get back in with them. I dont think that Jordans mother is too happy with us. We will see.
Just yesterday a family named the Swensons stopped in Helena for sacrament meeting as they were heading back to Canada. Calgary I think. We went through the normal missionary questions and then, me being from AZ asked If I knew the Florences. I said I did. Small world. I think their names werer mike and mary. (probably not) but Mike Swenson is Ricks Uncle. just 8 yrs older. You will have to tell them.
ON your guys' end sounds like things are good. Keep reading scrips. Keep doin good. What about those missionary experiences? Whats up with that? Tell dad to get black.Tell jared to stay in school. Tell KT and Aaron that babies should be a priority, tell dana to stop kissing boys, tell luke to work out, tell mom to invite a family over for FHE. And remember all of you too....."work on some goals" or "write some letters"
Keep the sabbath holy. No cardinals games.
This week should be: red vines + Mr Pibb = Crazy Delicious So sick (pound pound) x2
Peace!

SNORING + BAPTISM + FROZEN = CHRISTMAS
So I don’t think I’ve really told you guys but Its been hard for me to sleep because Elder Jensen SNORES. LOUD. So, We were at dinner with the Smith family the other night and the topic of snoring and some other things came up. Sister Smith said that she has been buying nasal strips for her husband lately so that He can breathe better at night and not snore. I don’t really remember how the whole story played out but Sister Smith ended up asking us if we snored and I said that Elder Jensen did and so she ended up giving us a bunch of the nasal strips. That night.... I slept well. End of story.
I got your presents and Im glad you got mine. I honestly do not know what I should do with that Rolex you guys sent me. (If anyone believes that we sent him a rolex...ha...We didn’t send a rolex but we did get him a nicer watch then the Walmart $12 model that we sent with him per mission instructions and broke months ago.) I’m too scared that it will get messed up while wearing it around working. I apologize that I have to be such a downer but Im just trying to be practical, efficient, and thrifty, reverent, obedient, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, brave, cheerful, clean, and reverent. HOnestly, just tell me what you think.
Anyway, on the good side of things and the best Christmas ever, Melissa was baptized on the 26th of December @ 6:30 pm by Elder Heywood and was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints December 27th @ 1:00 pm by Elder Heywood. It was Marvelous. Its always a good week when somebody gets baptized. WHooo! Whoooo! Whats that Racket? Is that Bub Rub and Lil' Sis I hear? Yes, I think it is. Somebody must have just gotten baptized.
Things are good. I’ve been wearing my space monster mask a lot lately its been pretty cold. Right now I think its about -5. Beautiful day.
Thank you for all of the other things that came in the package. For the pills, do I just dump one or two or three capsules into the whole thing of rubbing alcohol or what? Do tell.
Read the book of Mormon. Im tellin you, I think if you’re not obedient with the little things it adds up down the road. i.e. Sabbath Day, FHE, morning and evening family prayers/scriptures. Its so simple yet, so easy to slip also.
I liked reading about all the great things that are happening with Gilberts’ missionaries around the world. Thanks for those.
I can't wait until you guys get my new missionary pictures. You will like them. I forgot to mention it when talking to you guys on Christmas. But, also, along with the music can you try to send all the talks that you possibly can. I really like all the BYU devotional ones and if you could get Elder Hollands talk too that would be great.
Over and Out Heywood fam.

4 more days...
We had zone conference this last saturday here in Helena and it went pretty well. Elder Smith of the Seventy came and toured the mission. We sang lots of songs, President and sister Gardner talked, we had lunch, had a white elephant, (I bought the biggest microwave I could find at the thrift store) went back in and had the Smiths talk to us and then called it a day. Learned a lot. We had a big Q&A sesh at the end.
Weve been with Elder Goff the last 2 weeks and he finally gets his new comp tonight. That will be good and bad. We havent been teaching as many people in our area because we cover his too; so its been a little depressing to not stay in our area all the time.
On terms of depressing, Lisa freakin J. called us Last monday night and said that they werent ready for baptism and lessons etc. And that they were going to hold off for a while. I was flustered. I dont even know what to say. Im done talking about those fools of tooks. But on the way more exciting side, Melissa came to our ward party with her little girls, who had an awesome time, and afterwards came up to me and asked if I could baptize her. yep. Melissa is getting baptized. Bam. I cant wait for that lady to get baptized. She needs it. Before the ward party, which was on Friday night, we had a lesson with her on Wednesday night. It was so sweet. We talked about tithing and the Sabbath day, and the 10 commandments, and Word of Wisdom. It was what she needed to hear. That weekend had just been horrible for her and she said that she really just couldnt wait to see us and to talk about the church. It has been great to see her change and just want to be baptized. She is in such need of a ward home. The ward is doing so good with fellowshipping. I wish you could meet her. She is the nicest lady and is living off her and her mom's income and is poor and loves the Lord and wants to be happy and is finding it in the church and has unconditional love and loves being in our ward and is a Child of God. YOU GUYS NEED TO GET ON IT IN THE 4th WARD. There are so many people that are out there that are probably right under your nose. Pray so that you will know who to talk to and how you will talk to them. Good job Dana. But still, that doesn't mean you dont have to do anything now.
Bye, have your questions ready for Christmas. Im sorry to say but we dont know where we are going to call from or what time. I was just thinking of from Bro Barretts home in the morning? is that good for you guys? let me know. Write a quick lettter or something with what time works best for you guys and I will make it happen.
When does Nathan Smith leave?
How are the couples doing? Kate and ARe and Jare and Mad dog? Good to hear that the family is growing. talk to you on the friday. Remember, "GET A GRIP" -ann m dibbs
Goody gumdrops to you all,
LOVE EPHeywood

I dont even know what to say. Im done talking about those fools of tooks. But on the way more exciting side, Melissa came to our ward party with her little girls, who had an awesome time, and afterwards came up to me and asked if I could baptize her. yep. Melissa is getting baptized. Bam. I cant wait for that lady to get baptized. She needs it. Before the ward party, which was on Friday night, we had a lesson with her on Wednesday night. It was so sweet. We talked about tithing and the Sabbath day, and the 10 commandments, and Word of Wisdom. It was what she needed to hear. That weekend had just been horrible for her and she said that she really just couldnt wait to see us and to talk about the church. It has been great to see her change and just want to be baptized. She is in such need of a ward home. The ward is doing so good with fellowshipping. I wish you could meet her. She is the nicest lady and is living off her and her mom's income and is poor and loves the Lord and wants to be happy and is finding it in the church and has unconditional love and loves being in our ward and is a Child of God. YOU GUYS NEED TO GET ON IT IN THE 4th WARD. There are so many people that are out there that are probably right under your nose. Pray so that you will know who to talk to and how you will talk to them. Good job Dana. But still, that doesn't mean you dont have to do anything now.
Bye, have your questions ready for Christmas. Im sorry to say but we dont know where we are going to call from or what time. I was just thinking of from Bro Barretts home in the morning? is that good for you guys? let me know. Write a quick lettter or something with what time works best for you guys and I will make it happen.
