Well today is my 3
month mark..... It feels like I've been here for 3 weeks. A week from Tuesday is
transfers already..... Craziness.... I'm pretty certain I'll stay here,
but Bischoff might leave. He's been here 4 and a half months, so who knows. We
hope we stay together, but anything can happen. This week has flown by just
like all the rest. We're still meeting with Hazel, and she's just so amazing.
She's truly becoming converted and feeling the true love of Christ in her life.
She told us on Sunday, in Sunday school, that she's never felt
so much love from any other church. That tells us just how much the ward is
fellowshipping her and helping her feel loved and cared for. She goes in for
surgery this Wednesday, the 7th, so be sure to keep her in your prayers
that she has a full recovery. We put her on the temple prayer roll this
morning. We're really worried about her, but I'm sure everything will be fine.
One of our wards had a tres de mayo picnic on Saturday. We had a taco
truck come and serve everyone tacos, a guacamole contest for the best one, a
bonfire with s'mores, and all sorts of sports and games. We, along
with the ward, invited the whole neighborhood. It was a huge success. We
were there just talking and socializing with as many people as possible. Bishop
told us afterwards that about half of the people that came were non-members or
less-actives that lived in the neighborhood. Hopefully a lot of seeds were
planted with that one activity. Our Kentucky friends came as well, so we were
pretty stoked about them being there. I played some soccer with the kids and
that was a ton of fun. We're going hiking at Millcreek today with a few other
missionaries, so I have to cut this email short. Elder Bischoff and I are
truly loving the Lord's work. We're seeing the fruits of our labors every day.
Remember to always keep the Lord's desires in front of your own. His work is so
important, and it's an honor to serve not only for, but also with Him. I love
and miss you all. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers. I hope
everyone made it through all the bad weather. That's all anyone has been asking
me about when I tell them I'm from Nashville. Of course, I especially love and
pray for my sweet, Taylor and Ralphie.
Love, Elder Clark
