Hey Everyone                                                                                Aug. 12, 2013

Happy Birthday Mom! I hope you are having a wonderful day and that everyone is doing their best to make it a special day for you.  23, right?

 

Well this week was great. I did a lot of traveling on Monday and Tuesday. I went to Asamankese while my companion went to Accra. Then on Tuesday we had to go to Kade for Zone Training. That's an hour away from Asamankese. Then we went back to Asaman and by the time we got back my companion returned so we got on a tro tro and went back to Oda.  It was a good time though.

So that was Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week was the same as usual, just finding and teaching.  We meet a man that had a ton of questions like, who created sin, is Jesus Michael the archangel, questions about speaking in tongues, and other questions.  Speaking in tongues is big here so we get that question most often.

Another man I contacted asked us about the Pearl of Great Price. That was a first too. Nobody has ever heard of those. I don't even know much about the Pearl. I had to study to learn more about it.

I got a letter from Tyler C this week, sounds like he's going to the Tampa Florida mission. That's sweet that Jared finally got his call. I know he was very anxious to get his call the last time I talked to him. November does seem like a really long time to wait for a stateside mission.

We had a sweet lesson this week.  It was a first lesson for a new man.  We contacted him with the restoration pamphlet; did you know they make different versions of it?  I found out because they accidentally gave us one of the boxes for Asia so now all of our Plan of Salvations are full of Asians. Back to the point, we gave him the pamphlet and he actually read the whole thing before we came.  I was super excited.   He didn't make it to church but we're going to see him this week.

We also had a woman ask us if she could wash our clothes for us.   She didn't want us to pay her but we insisted.  It saved us a lot of time.

That's about it from this side of the world. What are they doing to Hillsdale??? Are they really going to build that many houses? That's nuts.  It will be very different when I come home.  If you guys move just be sure to stay in Idaho, not in eastern Idaho and we're good.  I am happy to hear that the temple is going forward. It's going to be 4 stories? That’s how tall the Logan Temple is. The pictures of it look pretty cool. The church is growing!
 
Well, I hope Mom has a great birthday.  I hope you enjoy your German Chocolate cake!

Have a great day.

Love,
Elder Clark
