well. i am not sue what to write this week, it went by so super fast!
sounds like everything is great there, it helps a lot to know that you
are all happy and the lord is blessing you, i am happy because you are
happy. i can feel all your love and prayers.
well to start this week we had interviews on Tuesday, it went really
good. it was pretty short and elder Cardenas said that is good.
president is awesome and his English is amazingly good. but then that
day to i found out my stomach is not taking to Mexican food too well,
so this week sister walker told me i could (I think he means could not) eat grease, spicy stuff and
or flour, and to eat a ton of fruit. so we had to tell the members who
we eat with, let's just say it was hard for them to figure out what to
cook. but yeah, i feel good but i just have to keep eating healthy. so
keep praying for me to be healthy.
we had a really good week teaching and finding. one of the coolest
things happen this week that i have every seen. we were teaching
Claudia and Luz. Luz is 9 and Claudia isn't married but wants to get
baptized but her husband doesn't want to get married. Luz is the most
amazing 9 year old i have ever meet. while we've taught them she has
wanted to get baptized but her dream has always been to have her
primeer communion, something catholic for kids. so while we were
teaching them this week we were talking to her about baptized and she
started to cry because she was so confused about which one to do, it
was so sad. i stated praying as hard as i could for her, that she
would know which one was right. then all of the sudden she stooped
crying, and said.. I'm not confused anymore, i feel like i need to be
baptized, i feel peace. the primeer communion is a dream but baptism is
a step. i want to be baptized. then Claudia started crying, the spirit
was so strong. then Luz said the closing prayer and the spirit was
there so strong, so strong .she is 9! shes going to do great things.
afterwords elder Cardenas could stop saying wow.
 not sure when they will get baptized but there is no doubt they will.
that was the highlight of the week.

the next day Wednesday we had splits and once again it was me in our
area and elder Cardenas gone, every single appointment and plan fell
through so i was pretty stressed that day but it gave me a ton of
confidence for when elder Cardenas leaves, which is like 2 weeks away,
probably. i cant really remember Thursday or Friday, but I'm pretty
sure they were good days. Saturday was crisp 104 degrees, it gave a
good test of what I'm in for, it was pretty tough not gonna lie. Sunday
was great, we had a good turnout for church, all the members made me
feel really happy. there is such a big difference between the members
and the others. this church is amazing.

brain congrats on the job, that made me really happy to hear!! Breya
congrats for the swing set. love you all. things are good. the church
is 100 percent true. I'm soooooooo pumped for general conference. soo
pumped.
love elder clark.
