Hey everyone!
Sorry it has taken me so long to get an email out. I have a few
extra minutes before bed and so I wanted to make sure I wrote one.
I am sure most of you know, but I was called as the new
assistant to President Snow and I am with my MTC comp, Elder Thorne! It's so
sick! It's super fun being with him a year and a half later. I have seen him a
bit, but we have never served around each other. We always are just laughing
about the good times we had in the MTC. Man those were the days.
Last week Wednesday night I went in with the APs while my comp
three-packed with other missionaries and was with members and I was gone until
Saturday afternoon when transfers came out. It was fun to be in a three-pack
with the APs. We had a fun time, and I got to meet the ward a bit. I am serving
in a YSA Ward and so everyone is super cool! We had a meeting with the president
about transfers and got that stuff all ready. It is pretty neat to see all the
work that goes on behind the scenes. There sure is a lot that needs to get done
just to run a mission.
I was then able to go back to my ward for Sunday and say goodbye
to everyone! That was fun. I had a few good families I really liked there, but
I had been there such a short span of time I wasn't really super close to them.
But there are some pretty sweet investigators there that will be getting
baptized soon! And then Sunday night the APs got me. I was all packed up and I
officially moved out. On Monday, we had our weekly meeting with the president
and worked out all the transfer stuff we needed to. Afterwards, Elder Thorne
and I picked up a bench and weights to bring to our apartment! We are going to
get jacked in the mornings!
We got to meet with a super awesome member that I will talk more
about and send some pictures, but let's just say it is awesome! I'll keep it a
surprise--haha!
This week is a very busy one! Already today we went to the
temple and then trained a new district leader and sister training leader, went
to the departing missionary testimony meeting/ dinner and then had some awesome
lessons and then planned all the rides for the airport tomorrow, dropping
people off and picking up people.
We taught an investigator tonight who is so awesome. He is 18
and was talking to kids at school and he taught them the plan of salvation. One
guy was sort of contesting him on it and he was like, man you can just go to
the second kingdom if you want then! It was so, so funny! He is going to be a
great missionary!
I am excited to serve the Lord even more and I hope and pray I
can bring to the table what the mission needs! There is so much work to be
done! We had 97 baptisms as a mission this last month. And so it's only up from
here! I love you all!
Elder Clark
