Hello
family! So it's finally warming up here in Jersey.. sometimes we thought this
day would never come but it feel's great. It brings me back to so many flash
backs of the beginning of my mission and all the wonderful thing's I've learned
and loved about my mission. I love getting letters from everyone this time of
year. There is such a renewed sense of happiness and hope that comes with
spring and also the coming Easter Holiday.
Speaking
of Easter guess what? so our mission president got a call yesterday from Elder
L. Tom Perry asking if he could come visit our mission the day after Easter. Of
course President Jeppson said yes. so L. TOM PERRY IS COMMIN! We are so
excited. I feel like I'm meeting a celebrity. Well the Lord's celebrity I
guess. So needless to say we are stoked.
Ok I'll keep my letter brief but I'll make sure to hit on all the
good parts. So last P-day was so nice. Sister Shearer and I were able to just
relax; we got some Ice cream and played a couple rounds of Phase 10. After
which we headed out to do the Lord's work.
We didn't have a lot of direction since our scheduled appointments
had canceled earlier that day. But we felt impressed to go see a former
investigator that we had never met. It was pouring rain as we walked towards
his house we saw a man sitting in a car. He saw us and got out of his car. It
was the Former investigator we were looking for. He told us that he saw us but
we were different then the other missionaries he had seen but he said 'I felt
something when I saw you' we ended up teaching him a lesson out in the rain (I
loved it:)) really neat lesson. Lot’s of spiritual healing.
Something that I’ve noticed
on my mission that I use to be afraid of being a lifeguard because of the
responsibility of saving lives.. But as a missionary we are in the same field
of work.. But saving souls and preforming some serious spiritual CPR (Church
Pray Read). I love watching the spiritual healing that comes about in people.
It’s so neat.
Tuesday we went on an exchange and I got to go to a lunch with my
old zone. It was so fun to be able to see all my old missionary friends
including.. Betty!!! Betty ran up and gave me a big ole hug. Man I love her.
She told me that she is going on a MISSION!! She’s putting her papers in how
cool is that! I’m so proud of her.
This week my companion got in a fight with the sun visor of the
car.. She lost. Ha-ha (she hit herself in the face with the sun visor) she got
a black eye from it.. am I an awful companion for laughing?
Something really Cool that sister Shearer and I noticed. So our
trainers served together in Caldwell as sister Training leaders as well.. So
cool. We are just carrying on in the posterity work I guess.
Sorry I have like 0 time but I want to write some of the fun
things.
-Tried to contact a squirrel.. epic fail. But ended up meeting a
nice man named Peter who was cleaning the river just because he loves the town.
He was so happy to see 'Mormons' and we are going to start doing random
community service with him. We ended up contacting 30 people that day. It was
really fun. I love talking to people here and getting to know them. Even when
they don't want to listen.
This week was great in missionary work as well. The work is
hastening. We will hopefully be having 3 baptisms this Saturday.. woot!
Ok well I love you family! Enjoy all the nice warm weather. I know
the Lord loves us and wants to bless us all in personal ways that are
meaningful to us. The trick is being able to notice those blessing then
thanking him for it. I love you all. I know this church is true. I love warm
weather.
Love,
Sister Clark:)
