Another busy week but this week is going to be even busier.  Last week on Tuesday we had new missionaries come from the MTC, Wednesday we were in the office for a while Thursday was my last mission leaders council, Friday we had lunch and a testimony meeting with a couple that finished their mission, Saturday we had office council because we didn't have it on Friday, then Sunday was the first Sunday of our new branch.  It seemed like we only had 20 members there on Sunday.  I was called last minute to give a talk on the Atonement and to teach 2 hours of primary which is always a blast.  This week is going to be super busy with mission tour with Elder Curtis for half of the week.

So, MLC.  I got my skirts finally so I was sporting my skirt.  It’s a sweet skirt.  I do look good in a skirt and they are so comfortable.  Too bad they aren't acceptable for guys to wear otherwise I would be all over that. (I asked for a picture of that but he does not have one yet) It was my last MLC so that was a real slap in the face that it’s really coming.  These 3 weeks are going to go by so fast.  We had a lot of really good Zone Leaders and I have some really, really good friends. Most of them live in Utah or Idaho though so it won't be as hard to keep in touch as it will be with my companion.

Sunday was great.  We didn't get much time to proselyte his week but we still managed to have 7 investigators at church.  They are doing really well and hopefully we'll get them all soaked on the 29 of this month, right before D-day.  Primary was awesome.  The lesson was on Christ’s calling his Apostles which was great because we teach that every day.  I actually felt really good about it because in Preach My Gospel it says something like the best teachers can teach something so well that even a child can understand it.  I taught those kids exactly the same way as I teach the majority of my investigators; it was really cool to me.

That’s about all for this week.
Love you all,
Elder Clark

March 2, 2015
Last week we killed it.  I have a real testimony of the Lord's way of "one-by-one."  I have noticed that I have been transferred a lot and fairly frequently throughout my mission and was thinking about it because, here  there is a less active lady I talked about before.  She is amazing.  Missionaries have been visiting her forever but she never came to church but I was able to hook her up with another less active with a car to pick her on account of her terrible arthritis.  Last Saturday she was able to go to the temple for the first time and was able to do baptisms for her family members and had such an incredible experience.  She can't walk and was scared of the water being cold on her joints but I told her how it was warm and she really enjoyed it.  It made me realize how every single one of my areas I have met a single person that I have specifically been prepared to meet that person at that time.  And shortly after I meet hat one person I have been transferred.  

Other than that pinnacle of the week it was pretty good.  Our less active recent convert that we reactivated was called as the 2nd counselor to our new branch president.  That was cool.  We got our family to come to church.  That was great.  And last Sunday we felt like we needed to visit a family in the Ward and they had a few referrals for us.  One girl is so smart.  She read the whole restoration pamphlet by Wednesday and explained it all to us, read the whole introduction to the Book of Mormon by Saturday and explained that to us in detail too.  That is amazing.

Nothing really unusual happened this week.  Just the usual.  Oh, I cleaned out our poly tanks today.  We took them down to build a cement platform so we decided to clean them and it was terrible.  It was so hot inside.  It was good though.  Probably sweat all he water out of my body.

Love you all!
