Hello family,
Too bad chad didn't get his
call. He needs to get it soon so he can get himself out here. Heavenly
Father needs his help! It's alright, because he will arrive when he is
supposed to. My mission president is always saying that the people that
arrive are foreordained to come exactly when they are supposed to.
This week was my first week with Elder Clark. He is a pretty funny kid, but I found out that he turned 18 in January
so he is probably the youngest missionary out here right now. It was
also my first week only covering one ward. It's super weird and we
really depend on the ward members to do their part in fellow shipping
and and finding. Luckily, they have been helping us out as best
they can. We had a lesson with one of our investigators at the bishops
house this week that I was stressing out a lot for. I knew that it would
be more than just a lesson for our investigator. It would also make or
break our trust that we have with the bishop. I knew he would be
evaluating our teaching and our testimonies. Luckily the lesson went
super well. The spirit was really strong and our investigator agreed to
baptism this Sunday.
It's funny because we had planned to talk about the first part of the
plan of salvation, but the lesson didn't even get to that point. We
ended up just talking about baptism the whole time along with the
temple. We talked about how it should be a goal to get you and your
family to the temple. Last Sunday,
in priesthood opening exercises, the bishop told everyone there about
the lesson that we had at his house, and how the spirit was strong and
about what a great experience it was for the investigator and also his
family. PHEW!!!
Also, our other investigator set a date for the 17 of August.
He has been wanting to get baptized for a few months now, but his mom
didn't agree. Hopefully this date will go through and he will enter into
the fold.
Elder Clarks' first area was somewhere in Portland area.
He has been out only 3 months so I am trying to be as obedient as I can
to set a good example for him the rest of his mission. Luckily, his
trainer was also obedient and taught him well.
