January has come and gone. Can't believe
that this month is over and now it's February. This week was pretty
good. This is a strange area where we get out and work and it seems like
nothing is really working and then Sunday came and we had 3 people come to
church. I was so excited. One is E. that is from a part member
family. He's doing great and is really excited to get baptized next week
except they are getting kicked out of their house this week. So we are
trying to help them find a place to stay. The other is a womanthat works
for the UN. Turns out her fiancé is a member and took her to church once
before. She's cool. And the other guy is a friend to a less active
we reactivated. As a mission we have been really focusing on less active
and recent converts. We are doing something we call "2 fers"
Where each companionship tries to baptize 2, get 2 recent converts to the
temple, and get 2 less active to church twice all in a month. It's
great. It's another one of those ideas President just wakes up
with. He is a great idea man. It’s pretty cool.
Today we went mini
golfing and spent a lot of time tumbling in the grass. I've got another
type of back flip I can do now. It was really fun. We've been doing
a bunch of flips and cool stuff. The guy I am will is my friend from
Middleton.
Saturday was President
and Sister Hill's anniversary. So we made them a cake and doorbell
ditched it on their door step. That was really fun. President
totally knew it was us I think.
Sunday we had a baptism
in the ward for some other elders but because of lights off we had to fill the
font with buckets. I was out at the poly water tank with a small bucket
fetching water and pouring it out into bigger buckets that others would carry
to the font. We got it full enough that she was able to lie down on the
bottom of the font and the water covered her. She really wanted to be
baptized and was traveling to school and didn’t want to wait. It was good.
To celebrate after I made that lemon pie Mom sent me. That was really
good!
Gotta go.
Love you all!
Love,
Elder Clark
