What
a great week of General Conference!!! We were able to go to two sessions and
take THREE INVESTIGATORS to hear the words of the Prophet and Apostles. Abas,
Kuku, and Micheal are in the picture I sent. That was us at the Priesthood
session of Conference. Micheal and his wife Debbie came with us to the Saturday afternoon session as well. They are both thinking about getting baptized
and married here pretty soon. I think Elder Holland's talk had a big impact on
both of them. Abas was able to get a headset that had an Arabic interpreter for
him. He seemed to really like the messages that were shared. I'm curious to see
what he thinks about everything. With his Islamic background, he has such an
interesting perspective on things that I'm just not used to. It's SO COOL!!!!!
We're still helping him with English and we're also going with him to the DMV tomorrow so that he can hopefully get his license to drive
taxi.
We
picked up a new investigator this last week and he's getting baptized on October 25th!! His name is Jose. He just moved here from California. He’s been in and
out of prison his whole life. He's so cool. He tells the most amazing stories
of his old life. He really wants to change now and be closer to God and Christ.

I
have to cut this week's email short. We've had so much to do today. I hope
Conference was as uplifting and inspiring for all of you as it was to me. I
feel like I got some great personal revelation and guidance from the messages
that were shared. One of my favorite quotes was, "When our standards lower
to the standards of the world, we are in a state of Apostasy". Don't let
the world shape who YOU are and what YOU believe. I love and miss all of you
soooo much. I hope everyone is doing well. I love and miss Taylor Lindey and
Ralphie the most!!!
Love, Elder Clark
