Well, transfers are tomorrow and
I'm getting transferred again..... I don't really understand it, but I know
it's the Lord's will. I was just starting to get used to this area, like I was
in my last area, and now I'm going somewhere else. Elder Bischoff is
staying here, which means this will be his 4th transfer in this area. Our
mission got 9 missionaries from the Donetsk, Ukraine Mission this last week, so
we'll have them plus the 10 new missionaries we're getting from the MTC. Maybe
Bischoff or I will get put with one of the missionaries from the Ukraine
Mission. They're all American. They just got reassigned here because of the
conflicts happening over there right now. Anyways, I got to Skype home
yesterday for Mother's Day! It was so awesome to get to talk to and see my
family and Taylor. It reminded me just how lucky I am to have such strong
support and love back home. Hazel had surgery on Wednesday. She's back
home now and recuperating. She said that hopefully we'll be able to meet with
her sometime next week. Of course, I won't be here but as long as the work is
getting done that's all that matters. Hopefully I'll be able to come back to
this area for her baptism. I've really grown to love and care for Hazel a lot,
and I know she feels the same way. We've been working with a fellow who just
lost his wife to Alzheimer's a few months ago. He wants to get sealed to
her in the temple, but has to work through some Word of Wisdom issues first.
We've been his support system, and we’ve just been visiting him as much as
we can. He tells us that he loves when we come over and visit him.
He's probably around 60 years old and he's one of the
nicest guys you'll meet. His wife being sealed to him for time and all
eternity is really important to him, and I can understand why. He's
trying really hard to get there. It's been raining a ton here this last week,
so being on bikes and in the rain has slowed work down a little bit this week.
We're eating dinner with our Kentucky friends again tonight. They always insist
on feeding us, and Monday nights are the only night that our wards
don't feed us. They're cooking us chicken and dumplings, so I think it'll be a
perfect last meal in this area. :) I've loved getting to work here in Sugar
House and I know I'll miss it, just like I miss the Avenues. I also know
that I'll love wherever I'm going and I know I'm going there for a reason. I
love and miss all of you back home. I keep everyone in my prayers. Oh yeah, and
I love Taylor and Ralphie too. ;)
Love, Elder Clark
