Okay I hope that those points help a little bit, but lets look unto the past week.
Okay well it was for sure a memorable week. so remember
how I told about Rocke the investigator who went to church, well we had a
lesson with him on Tuesday and..... HE IS GOLDEN, whats more gold than
Gold? He's that. We had one of the best lessons i had on my mission. his
beliefs are so LDS, he was so interested in every word we said. the
spirit was so strong. he was asking us about modern prophets and so much
stuff. he just keep saying stuff like ¨ I know i can change, i know you
guys can help me change, i want to help other people and help them find
the truth like you guys.
remember that book of Mormon you sent me with a picture of
our family and your testimony in English, i have been saving it for
someone special and that spoke English, last week i felt like i should
keep it in my back back, then when i reached in my backpack to give him a
book of Mormon, i realized i had that one too, and knew i was supposed
to give it him, he was so touched and promised not to let me down for
giving him that book. thanks so much for that book fam, it helped him a
ton. then on Thursday we taught him lesson 3 with lots of scriptures, we
read 3 nephi 27 and he eat it up, the doctrine of ¨nothing in pure can
enter into his kingdom¨ unless we are cleansed by the savior through
faith, repentance baptism, the gift of the holy ghost and enduring to
the end. he ate it all up. so on Sunday at church we got there at there
20 minuets early and he was there in church clothes talking with all the
members, cracking jokes, we showed up and he was like finally you guys
got here( he cracks jokes all the time) we put is baptism date for the
15th of February and by the time we left church his date was changed to
the 2nd or this Saturday and the ward invited. ja I'm not kidding you.
Hes the nicest guy and right now he is so excited ¨to take a step closer
to god¨ and because ¨he found the church where he feels full¨ goodness
gracias.
alright so that was the good. the bad was..... Gaby didn't
get baptized, we had the baptism font full and everything. what
happened was that on Friday knight we had a lesson with Gaby and her mom
and they told us that her dad didn't know she was getting baptized the
next day and they wanted to do it without him knowing. so we were like
wow wow hold on a second its not a thing of secrets and because what had
happen early in the week .. this is was another amazing part of the
week. on Tuesday night we had a lesson with Gaby and her dad was there
and we invited him to say the pray, he said no but we insisted. then he
said an amazing pray and then put his head in his shirt and cried. he
didn't say anything for like 5 minutes. he finally talked and said that
when we are here things are different and that everything is better, and
what he just felt he hasn't felt in a really really long time. the rest
of the week he stop swearing and when we came by he has talked with us
and says he wants us to teach him. wow! I know that sincere prayers can
change everything. so back to the story we told Sandra and Gaby we would
talk to him. so Saturday we filled up the font expecting everything to
work out. and then went to talk to her dad. well its a long story but
her dad said he wants Gaby to be baptized but not so soon. so we talked
to him and explained it all and he said, no we will wait 2 months. then
we asked Gaby how she felt about baptism and....... she said¨ i don´t
know¨ if she would have said yes she would have been baptized but she
was scared. soo long story short she will get baptized soon and..... her
mom is getting divorced this week and they want to get married in the
next month and get baptized the both of them. It has been unreal to see
the lords hand with this family. wow.
alright so those were the main
things from the week. i am really exhausted but i feel so good. i would
have written all the details but it is the Monday of cambios and we have
to leave to go and work and do a million things still.
Stay safe in Utah with the cold. right now it is hot which
is nice. cause when its cold its super cold in the houses. Shout out to
kieran for his talk in stake conference, wow!! that is so cool.
oh this week i got the Christmas card from the family. and you guys
chose that picture of me jaja. i need to send you guys more pictures.
that was a really cool experience with elder Tate. well family sounds
good. oh so my favorite thing that i studied this week was Elder Bednars
talk on being converting to the lord, i just eat it up. every word of
that talk.
well family i hope that everyone has a great week. mom i am so down for some Texas trips and thanks for the pictures, love them.
love Elder Clark
