time is going. Anyway, I know that I always promise this, but I will
try and be better about writing you!
Much of the mission has been in mourning with the loss of Sister
Parrish's family. She took a flight home on Tuesday and we got word
last night that she has decided not to come back out. Can't really
blame her, her and her brother have way too much on their plate right
now. Quit is interesting though how much The Lord cares for each one
of us. He knew what was going to happen and he knew why they needed to
go. He knew that Elder and Sister Parrish would be suffering more than
most people can imagine and would need the prayers of 200 of the
finest missionaries in they church, the best members in e NW, and many
of thousands of other prayers from around the world to help them
through the grieving process. She is a strong missionary and I know
that her ASL testimony has been felt throughout the Zone and mission.
Thank you for all the support that you have given her. I know that she
would really be grateful for the prayers and thoughts that has been
directed her way.
The rest of the week has been a little hectic. We just received our
I-pads, and I am lost. I really hate technology! But it is kinda
sweet....I am just lost though with all the changes and what not. I
hope that I can just keep up with the hastening of the work!
Love,
Elder Hamblin

From Sister Hamblin:
So I posted on my missions wall that Sister Parrish needed prayers and I can't tell you the response that I got from them! There is one missionary whose family lives in that mission and he said that if she needs anything to just let him know and he will let his family know! I have been getting calls all week from missionaries asking about her and how she is doing and if I know her personally... It is just really great! Missionaries are just the coolest people on the planet besides the HAMBLIN family! Ha ha But seriously. They are so great! Elder Hamblin if she needs anything PLEASE let us know! She has the Whole of NY NYS praying for her and her brother!
