THIS WILL BE PARKER'S LAST EMAIL FROM AUSTRALIA. ;-( She will arrive home April 3rd, 2020. She will be released as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, go into a 14-day isolation and will decide what's next. She has been a trooper through it all and we are so thankful for a wonderful mission president, Derek Marquis and for his wife, Colleen. We are so grateful to them for the many hours and dedication along with all the senior missionaries in getting all the missionaries home.

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Ned's Declassified: Corona survival guide.. I am your host Sister Parker Lockhart coming at you live from MAWSON LAKES IN SA BECAUSE I GOT TRANSFERRED. President Marquis thought the members were liking me too much ... six and a half months is pretty heckin long so I don't disagree with him. Plus, how could you not LOVE me???!!!

But seriously. I'm so over this coronarrhea crap (hehe) and I just want you all to know that I have the answer to your questions, concerns, and worries. And it's only one word and rhymes with yezus. 

Due to being quarantined, we have been blessed with much time to dive deep into the beautiful Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yesterday, I had the thought the re-watch a talk from 2009. A talk that btw was written for this very second that you are in, right now. So if you don't already know by now then ***NEWSFLASH*** THIS CHURCH IS LEAD BY GOD. and the amazing and wonderful Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, conveys everything God wants us / needs us to hear. *yes* it is scary. Sure. It is. Reaaaally spooky. But the reason I'm being so lame about this is because I know everything is gonna be okay. And so you need not fear. 

I don't really wanna give away my secret sauce part three for all this but I can't hype it up this much and not let you all in on my secret. 

Find a quite space, humble yourself and listen to this talk. Just listen to the 16 minutes that this Apostle of God let's us know exactly what we need to do in times of despair. And if you want to feel comfort, if you need burdens lifted and fog removed from your rearview mirror, listen. But don't forget to act. :)

I love each of you, and please don't ever think for one second that Heavenly Father doesn't love you or the people of this earth. We cannot comprehend how much he truly does love us. And it seems crazy to think that when we can think, "why does this have to happen then if he loves us" but I promise you with every fiber of my being, that he does care. And he does love us. He wants us to know the truth and to have peace of mind and heart and we can!!! If we ask, but FIRST, we have to trust Him.

ALSO let your hearts be prepared for this weekend. I can promise you as a set apart representative of Jesus Christ, that this weekend can change your life for the better. You just have to do the work. Remember, if it's easy it won't be worth it. So prepare! And love! And be HAPPPIIII. This life is beautiful and magical and so many blessings are waiting around the corner for the humble and faithful. 

Stay safe and plz wash your hands.. also if chickfila is closed when I get home I'm blaming all of you.

WITH (IMPATIENT) LOVE FROM QUARANTINE,,,,

Sister Lockhart <33
