Hello All,                                                                                        July 8, 2013

 

Is it July already? Where does the time go? I celebrated the 4th by buying some cookies and Orange soda haha. Not the typical bbq and fireworks that we're used to but it was fun.

 

Well, this week was pretty good. We had zone training again on Saturday with the new president.  He seems like a really good guy.  He's very serious about the work and has some really good ideas to help the work go forward here.  We had interviews with him so he could meet us one on one and it was really good. I like him a lot.  I look forward to serving under him too.

 

Other then that the week was pretty normal I guess. We just do finding all the time. This next week we are going to be traveling to the farther areas of our area.  In the map there was an arrow to Swedro in our area and past that is a place called Awisa and then past that is another town that is all part of our area. That is where we are going to start focusing on. The teaching is coming along.  We did find this really cool family that is fun to teach. We have only been really teaching the wife but we met the husband this week. They are a sweet family. We also had a man just come to church on Sunday which was awesome. We we're expecting any investigators to come to church but we ended up having 2 come that we didn't know. That was sweet because I was fasting for investigators to come to church.  We are trying to focus on finding the members and working with them to find and get referrals but so far our efforts haven't found success. One cool thing I did this week was I taught a 100 year old woman this week. That was pretty sweet. She is the oldest person I've ever met.

 

This week I tried 2 new foods. One was Ken-Kay.  It's basically the same this as banku but it’s cooked a little differently.  I ended up eating quite a bit of it though because I ate Elder C’s for him. He's new from the MTC last week and couldn't finish it. I also tried a Muslim food called Kosi.  It tastes just like chicken nuggets. I love it haha.

 

Last night I got into a water fight with Elder D. and Elder C. We started using the squirt bottles they we use for ironing and then I started filling cups with water and chasing them around.  It was a good time.  We try to have fun in our apartment but we're always super busy.

 

As always thanks for the love and support. Sounds like a fun time with everyone back at home for a couple of weeks.

 

Love,

Elder Clark
