Happy Birthday Elder Clark |
Man, I am 20 years old... I don’t know why but that is so weird
to me.. haha My birthday this week was
As for missionary work, we had a lot of heartbreak this
week. Earlier in the week we weren’t able to work as much because I was a
little sick, and Elder Xavier was REALLY sick, but he was tough and he worked
through it. One of our investigators told us she wasn’t interested anymore
more, which was killer, but we talked and she will still receive visits from
us. We had to change the baptism of Celina and her girls because 1. She still
is smoking and 2. They won’t come to church! Something always seems to come up.
A family that is less active that we are working with are fighting right now
and the wife is staying with her mom. This week has just been a lot of
frustration! It’s crazy how strong Satan is and how for everything we try and
do, he always throws something to destroy it.
Missionary Shoes! |
We started something pretty cool this week. We call it ´´Day
of Missionary´´, doesn’t sound as cool in English but it is! There are a lot of
youth preparing for missions right now in our ward and so we started this day
of missionary; which is literally that the young man spends the entire day with
us. He arrives at our apartment at 8 am. He studies with us and then he comes
with us to all our visits until 9pm at night. It’s pretty cool and a great way
for them to learn the lessons and what being a missionary is before they
actually are missionaries! We did one Saturday, and have another day scheduled
for tomorrow with another young man!
Next week is transfer week and I am pretty nervous I’ll be
leaving. I want to stick with Elder Xavier in Recanto for one more transfer!
Pray that I will stay! Next Monday we will know. I love missionary work, even
though it’s the hardest thing in the world.
Love you all!
Elder Clark
