| Still Companions! |
Today is official the first day of my last transfer of my
mission. Can you believe that? Because I sure cannot!! This transfer will be
the best of my mission I know it. We went to transfer meeting today and Elder
Nascimento and I stayed together for our 3rd transfer together! I think he is
getting a little sick of me but at least he will be able to kill me (It’s a
missionary thing - to call a missionary who is returning to his home as
``Dying`` and his companion who is with him is the companion who ``Killed`` the
missionary who died, haha) He is excited for that. But I don’t think it’s
helping him very much because he only has 5 months on the mission! But after 2
transfers together we know how to work together and we are going to work until
our shoes fall off… because my shoes are literally dying too...
This week was a normal week of working. We have a family
that we have been working with for a long time now that has grown really close
to us. We are trying to help them stop bad habits and the parents to get married
so that everyone can get baptized. They love the church and participate in
every activity that we do. They will make such great members when they are
baptized and will contribute a whole lot to the growth of the church. The dad isn’t
very interested but the mom and her 5 kids are preparing to be baptized! I sure
hope I will be able to witness their baptisms before I head home.

We found some people this week that are amazing! They have
amazing stories and amazing personalities! We started teaching a lot of people
this week that seem like they have a lot of potential! I hope that this week we
can follow up with them and have a lot of success with them. The work here is
so much... work! But I am loving every minute of it!

| Baptism |
This week we had the baptism of a man named Raimundo
(Hi-moon-doh) and boy, this is man is probably the most simple man I have ever
met. But also one of the best men I have ever met too. He has so much faith and
just wants to do what is right. Talk about a man who is in tuned with the
spirit. He is the perfect example of broken heart and a contrite spirit. His
life will be changed forever because of the gospel.
We also found a woman who was baptized over 20 years ago,
really it was her that found us, we were walking on the street and she yelled
to us “Are you two Elder??” Of course we said yes and went to talk to her! She
was baptized more than 20 years ago but shortly after her baptism she moved
here and lost contact with the church! She is now married and has a family! She
didn’t remember a whole lot about the teachings of the church but she told us
that she never started going to another church. This week will visit her to
meet her husband and her children. We are super excited for her because it
looks like we will have one more family coming to church with us.
God is great and loves each of his children! I love being
his servant! I love all of you! Thanks for everything!
Elder Clark
