Just so you know i am totally fine health wise, everything is all good here.
this
week we had to catch up in the office a ton from not being to work for a
couple days. but i got all caught up which was a miracle and i also got
a ton of other things done. i have some big projects i am trying it get
done before my replacement gets here so he doesn't have problems.
speaking of which transferees are on Sunday and Monday so i will know my
future, hopefully. we will see if my replacement gets here, if so I'm
gonna train the heck out of him, i will be like a drill Sargent, to
avoid what happened to me when elder Cameron left.
anyway so yeah lots of time in the offices but we did have
some great things happen in the area., so we taught Gaby on Saturday
and it went pretty well butt.. she didn't go to church, we don't know
why. we think she will still be baptized on Saturday but i feel like
Satan is giving all hes got.
okay so the best thing of the week aka miracle was what
happened in church. early in the week Sister Puente told us that her
daughter who is 10 had a reference for us. it was a man named Rocke who
they see everyday walking to school and talk to a lot, he is an ex
friar( higher thank priest in the catholic church) . it was her birthday
on Sunday so she told Rocke that he had to go to church with her
because it was her birthday on Sunday. so she took us to meet him so we
talked a little and told him where the church is and he promised to be
there.
we got to church and he showed up. Sacrament meeting was
amazing, the young men talked and did really well. then in gospel
principals we felt like we should teach the plan of salvation. we taught
it so good, with tons of scriptures, the spirit was working so strong.
then as we were waiting for priesthood to start Rocke started to talk to
brother escutia( i acted like i wasn't listening) about his life and
then he got chocked up and told him that he had been praying as hard as
he could to become closer to god and for the truth and to know what was
going to happen after this life. i couldn't believe it. Brother escutia
shared his testimony and then we had to go to elders quorum which was
on non other than... baptism. thank you Teachings of Lorenzo Snow
Chapter 4. another great lesson and as we left the class brother esutia
told him to come back next week and he said of coarse, and we will see
if you cant help me with that, pointing to the chalkboard, or pointing
to the word baptism. azu!! Hermano escutia, sister puente and me and
elder cayetano stood thinking,. what just happened??
we are going to see how it all develops but sooooo cooool. we will see what Old man Satan has to say about it.
I know that the lord listens to prayers.
on
my mission i have come to the complete knowledge that this church is
true. even lately in my mission. in my head there is absolutely no
doubt, it is not a second thought or a meditation anymore. i am so
greatful to be apart of it. but i am still working on my conversion, it
is a hard long process with a ton of faith.
mm it is so cool to be a missionary.
something
really cool was that this less active couple are starting to
reactivate. when i got here the brother had an accident in work and
couldn't work for 6 -7 months, and his wife had there first baby a
months of ago, with those two events they have humbled so much and have
sincere desires to come unto the savior. the bother Oscar just got the
aaronic priesthood this week. i care for them so much and so happy to
see there lives improve.
so yeah i am doing great. learning and working
oh
quick random thought, mom do you see the pictures that Eric sends,
tigers, elephants, waterfalls. i just showed everyone here in the
offices those pictures and they were dying. Oh and Jason are the 49ers
in the super bowl or just close?
sounds like Hawaii is and was amazing. dint know what to
say. i learned so many small things this week. i read president Monsons
talk about looking at blessing and prayer. i am so grateful for all the
little and big things the lord has blessed me with, and i know that
heavenly father answers prayers.
so this will be another busy week, prep for transfers.
thanks for your prayers. it hit me so strong that you guys really do
pray for me non stop when dad shared what breya said after the prays. it
was like ohhh they really do, that's where all that strength comes
from. non kidding, some moorings i should be totally dead but i don't
feel tired and i am ready to start the day.
alright, if you have any questions please ask.
Love Elder Clark
