hey family whats goin on. hows texas jason and jason. hows iowa michelle.
so this was great. on tuesday we had our meeting with president and officaly told me and elder mills that elder mills will be the new financial secretary and said ´should know everything in just a few weeks¨ so its almost for sure that march 4th i will leave. wow. a lot of mixed feelings. it will be so hard to leave. the thought of maybe, big maybe,  never seeing these people again just kills every part of my heart. but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. 
so i have been teaching elder mills everythings and he is a really good learner. but i kinda feel bad, i feel like it is my burden to bear, i know how hard it is and that its not a plesant burden for someone but i know that i have done what the lord has asked me to do and know its someone elses turn. 
this week we looked and looked for less actives on the ward list. i dont know if i told you guys but we cant visit members anymore to ask for refereals. we have to work with pure less actives and investigators. we didnt find a whole lot but we did find some and we were happy to get to know them and that they didnt kick us out. it is sad that there are a lot of less actives. it doesnt make any sense how a lot of these people have changed chuches. we meet this less active that has a calling in a christan church. she says that her 3 years in the church were like her base to her faith in christ and this church is like the rest of the building, but she needed a good base or the rest doesnt work.... what???? but you have to respect there belives and try and teach about athority. some people just dont get it, it should make sence but i just doesnt to some people. alright im done venting.
so maybe the best part of the week was our new investigator named Aby. we were looking for a house and we knocked on one to ask if they lived there by chance and a 20 year old girl came out, she had that prepared/ golden look. so we contacted her and put an apointent for saterday. saterday we got there and taught her lesson 1 which went amazing! elder mills and i normaly cant teach like that, wow. she acepted a babtism date for the 2nd of march! she is aswsome! ah man elder mills and i left just happy as two 2 american mormon missionarys in mexico could be. i will keep you updated, she didnt go to church but she told us she couldnt because she had to take a test or something but it was alright because the talkes were pretty badly prepared in sacrement meeting. maybe thats bad to think/ personal apastacy for thinking that, owell. oh and also because the Neighbors of rocky ( roque) atacked him with anti mormon stuff so he came to church with lots of quiestions so in gospel principals we answered all of them and he actped all of it perfectly. he said them atacting him stregthened his faith and belife, that he knows he is in the truth. wow, he has a lot of faith and such a strong testimony. 
also yesterday after chruch we found someone else really good. we were walking in the steet with not much to do and in all my disicions i prayed about the two  options and we felt like we should visit an old investigator, he wasnt home but his neibor answered and we taught him and his really good. 
on saterday a ward in our district had a babtism and it was so special. i had a really amazing experience in his baptismal interview. just more testimonys that people can change trough the savior. 
i have felt really good. i am so grateful for the holy ghost and to have company of him. it feels good to be able to teach people and not worry about the language and being nervous about what to say. i am gratefull for the progress i have had in these 14 monthes. 
okay well thats about all.  
oh mom i got the Hawaii package! it made my week. ahh there is not any food/ snacks better and the t shirts and the calender were much appreciated !! okay and thanks for sending a new debit card, hope it gets here soon.
so have a great week everyone.
Love Elder Clark
