6.2.14 The Power of One

"Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind"-Lelo and stich

The weather has been beautiful this week! This week was a typical week on the mission but it was still really great as well. I loved seeing all the fun pictures of baby Ellie and Jason and Jan and the kids! Pictures are worth a thousand words. Everyone just seems so happy. It's amazing how the gospel can bless people's lives.

I think that thing that has been sticking out to me today, is just the power of one.. the ripple effect. Think of one strong convert to the church, think of your ancestors who paved the way, think of Joseph smith and Jesus Christ. The power of one is far greater then we can comprehend. There are so many people that I have met her on my mission, who have touched my life and also just to see the gospel in there lives, then sharing it with there family is amazing.

Tuesday

We had exchanges and I went on an exchange with SISTER HOUSER! We had so much fun. It was fun to be with her again and just get right to work. I've learned a lot from her and I'm grateful for her friendship on my mission. We started of our day talking to people on the streets and getting to know others. At one point we went to go visit one of her members who is in a nursing home. She unfortunately wasn't up for a visit so we walked past a room and I saw this lady staring out the door just super sad. We started to walk past but we decided to stop and talk to her. We ended up singing her a hymn and just to see her smile was so priceless.

We ended up singing to another lady before we left as well. She couldn't speak, we sang to her and after we were finished she kept pointing to something in my hand. I tried to give her my hymnbook thinking that she wanted to see it but she kept turning it away and pointing at my book of Mormon in my hand. We gave it to her and she just stared at it, we told her she could have it and she just held our hands in appreciation. We will probably never know the results of what we did that day, but I know how I felt as we did it, we were fulfilling our purpose.

Thursday

We had a lesson out in the park with a less active member as we read in Enos with him he just started to cry and open up about his need to change. It's so amazing how the spirit works.

Then that evening; sister Shearer and I made a plan of salvation board game and we brought it over to a members house to have them test it out with us. It was fun trying to work out the little kinks and making up the rules as we went but it's so neat how perfectly divine the plan of salvation is. Can you imagine, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ coming up with this plan, and just making everything perfect and working out those kinks.

Sunday

Sunday, remember last week when I wrote about Jerry,, well HE CAME TO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY! And it sounds like he's planning to make this a consistent thing. Wahoo!

Well that was basically my week. Nothing to eventful but it was still great! Missionary work is very fulfilling! Well sorry this letter isn't to exciting but I am doing great!:) Can’t wait to hear from you all soon!

Love you

Love sister Clark
