Hard at work

Feb. 9, 2015

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.  It was a pretty great day.  We were invited to attend a zone activity in Odorkor.  We went to the beach and roasted a couple of pigs and had fun  playing beach soccer.  Doesn't get much better than that.  Last week was pretty crazy.  MLC was a huge success.  Most of the Zone Leaders said it was the best one they have had yet.  I led a discussion on using Preach my Gospel more in the mission.  Hopefully we teach the lessons better and have a better retention rate.  

Sunday was probably the best Sunday of my life.  E. did get baptized.  He asked me to baptize him which was nice.  It was after church that we did it and I was handed a towel and my clothes and went to the wash room only to find I was going to baptize him in a white  robe.  Feeling a little awkward but like a stud we did the baptism.  His daughter was baptized with him too.  We have been teaching him with the family all along and it was sweet because she just turned 8 on the 31st and was able to get baptized with her dad.  It was a special day for them.  We are hoping that they are going to make it to the Ward Temple trip at the end of the month.  We talked a lot about being sealed as a family next year when we took them to the Temple this week and they invited me to come back next year to be a part of it.  That would be really sweet if there is some way I could.

The other great part was we had 9 investigators come to church!  I was SO STOAKED!  We had this family that we have been working with for a long time finally come and a Rasta man come with a girl he introduced us to on Saturday.  I was so, so happy when I saw them walking up.  I was really good, we had a good heart to heart lesson on Saturday that I think really made a difference.  And I got to teach all 2 hours of junior and senior primary with Elder Legg about the Atonement.  That was sweet.  They have this one song I have to record it so you can see but its called Father Abraham and it’s just a bunch of dancing and jumping, man it was so fun!  I spent some time sitting on the floor showing the atonement and stuff, it was great.  I love primary.  The teachers loved it too.  

So that was basically the week.  Love you all.  Mom thanks for the cookies.  You still make the best cookies in the world!  (A sweet friend hand carried chocolate chips cookies to Ghana for me)                   

Love,

Well, its 9 o clock and we just finished our testimony meeting with the departing missionaries.  We're going to the temple with them tomorrow which is sick. (aka-very good) Don't have much time but wanted to drop a quick email to you guys tonight before we go home.  

Love,

Elder Clark
