Sister Michelle Clark: 9.23.13: Tom's River Spanglish

Tom's River Spanglish Sisters

so... I'll explain...

This was a verrrry interesting week. It was different then all my other weeks in the mission. (that's the fun of being a missionary, you never know what's coming) but in sad news. One of my best friends on the mission went home this week. IT was a total blindside. So we were in a trio all week. not just in a trio, but a spanglish trio. So I served as a spanish and english missionary this week. it was fun. haha I atempted to learn a little spanish but I wasn't super sucsessful.

Ok i'll just go throught the highlights of my week.

We met a lady named Sandy. We came over and she was so greatful to see us. She cried and just hugged us and was so happy to have us over. her life is just falling apart. Her house looks like wes and ems house (from huricane sandy). and is being infested with black mold. We sat and taught her a lesson. as we taught she just completely understood and said "So my baptism didn't count?... I need to be saved! when can I be baptised?" this is our first time meeting with her. we set her for the 20th and she wrote it on her calander and just is so excited "to be saved". man she is incredible. what a blessing to meet with her. goodness after the lesson we were all in shock. wow. so cool!!! we also had dinner with Jeneen and her family. we love them so much. her family is going through a lot right now. that kinda was the theme for the week. Trials, but how the lord and the gospel can strengthen you. we met a family who is being kicked out of there house. we've spent the past couple of days helping them back up there life into a pod and they have no place to go. On tuesday they will be homeless. So much heart ache. As we sat down with them to teach a lesson. the spirit consumed the room. I could feel and was overwhelmed with heavnely fathers love for these people. I know he loves us each so much. He is completely aware of our circumstances. sometimes we don't think of see or feel that he is. But I testify that he does. cause those feelings of love I feel for these people i've never met. It's so hard to comprehend but it's real. SO COOL TO BE BLESSED TO FEEL THIS LOVE. This week was just complete and pure craziness. i can't really even describe it but it was good. we had fun being in a spanglish trio. wahoo! it was a good week. oh and on other good news ERIC'S BEING BAPTIZED THIS COMING SUNDAY!!!!!! The cute adorable higgins family,,, oh man. they are so excited and I'm exicted for them. just so much excitement all the way around. wahoo. Missionary work is great.

sorry for the short letter. I just have a lot on my mind right now. a lot of souls to save. but just know I'm so greatful for all the wonderful suport and strength of all you back home. I'm so amazed by the power of righteousness and obedience. Testimonys are a fraguile thing. unless they are nurished and coninuely growning they can wither away. I'm greatful for a loveing heavenly father that brings us safety comfort and love. He is amazing. I'm grateful for my savior. He is so invested in this work. Sometimes I just sit back and look at all the miracles he does here and it's just... wow. I love you all so much I pray for you always. The atonement is real. How much love did one man have for each one of us... to the point that he would die for us. so much love! love is what makes this all work and worth it. the plan of salvation was founded from heavenly fathers love. and I love you all

Love Sister Clark
