This week was good as far as numbers go , we found people
and found lots of menos activos. We feel like we can do more or that we
are missing something but it was a good week.
Thanks for
the emails. sounds like Michelle's talk went amazing and that it was a
great Sunday and great week. I cant believe that she leaves in 2 weeks.
good stuff.
So there's not really an order to this email just what I
can remember. So yesterday in church it was ward conference. there were 5
speakers who each gave 15 minute talks, I just keep looking at the
clock and couldn't believe we were still there. I don't know if it was
planned to be a 2 hour sacrament meeting because it was ward conference,
maybe, I didn't know you could do that but we finished exactly at the 2
point, it was brutal, well actually there were some really good
messages but there is a point were you cant pay attention. Actually
thinking back it was pretty good. We left from sacrament directly to
priesthood where the stake leaders chewed out all the brothers for not
doing their home teaching ha, interesting but good Sunday. After church
we found some really good less actives all with great potential and we
had really awesome experiences. There are so many in this ward, and they
are all really awesome.
We are finding lots of PFs or families where everyone are
members, that's been most of our work and finding source. One of the
people we have found is named fidencio, he's like 70 and him and his
wife are less active and are super, super poor. But they have a lot of
faith, one of there grand kids that lives with them ran away so we said a
prayer with them and the granddaughter came back that same night.
Seeing people so poor has made me think a lot about Heavenly Fathers
plan, and it has strengthen my testimony of it. I don't understand
everything but I know that his plan is perfect. I am trying to be more
humble because of it. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself or do things
complaining in my head but I forget that it's the lords will and that he
knows best and I need to do what he asks.
So yeah learning lots. So this
weeks was semana Santa which means holy week but its Easter, they just
celebrate it for like a whole week, especially Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. It was hard to find everyone because they were all on vacations
or with there entire family, especially Saturday catholics don't work
that Saturday or Sunday. I don't know if it is this area or if it was
this week only but everyone here drinks and gets really drunk, I have
never had so many burachos or drunk guys talk to us, just a side not,
but its really sad.
So Tuesday the day of the US v Mexico game, I had been
looking forward to that day for my whole mission, I thought I would get
stuff thrown at me and get yelled at all day like the American fans do
when they go to the game in Mexico City in el estadio Azteca. I was so
excited but I didn't know it was Tuesday until that same day, I was
super disappointed cause nobody said anything, only a few members, I
wanted to see the game but well, I couldn't. It ended 0-0 and was just a
lame experience. Apart from going to the world cup next year I plan on
going to the next us - game that is played in Mexico, in 2017.
So that's about it. we gotta go try and fix elder Abarca´s
clothes, he washed his whites and his dark colors together and now all
his shirts and garments are blue haha, I have no clue what he was
thinking but poor guy.
Have a great week family. Happy Easter
Elder Clark
