Dear Family! From reading all the e-mails I can
just picture a fun Sunday evening in the Clark household with all the family
and kids together. I love our family. :)
So this week we went by so fast. I literally
can't even remember what happened ha-ha but it was good as always. This week I
also felt like I was living in a third world country... unfortunately our
bathroom was not working for most of the week so we had to get-by by going to
McDonald a lot this week, using members restrooms etc.
Monday we had dinner at a member’s house that is
preparing to go to the temple. Her name is Abby and she's so cool we love her! We
had pizza with her and her son and we played our plan of salvation board game
that we made. We had a lot of fun. Even though the board game has it's flaws..
still trying to work on the kinks the principles that we try to teach while
playing are true.
Allot of this week was service for member. We
did lots of painting this week, which was a lot of fun. We listened to some
conference talks and just were able to bond with these members on a different
level. I'm grateful for the time we had with them. We had lots of adventures
like; Inventing scaffolding to get up to
high spots. (Two ladders on stairs with a wooden board in between.) And
naturally because I’m the 'tall missionary' I got to experience all the experiments.
It was adventurous for sure.
We also
had lots of dinners with new members in our ward. There is one family named the
Koch (pronounced co) they have 2 little boys and a little girl. The little boy
was so cute when he saw us on Monday after he folded his arms to be reverent
and looked up at said ‘it’s nice to see you again’ yes and us he's 6 so cute.
Friday we went to serve on Ellis Island. I love
serving there! The spirit is so strong. We met some incredible people. It’s so
hard not to be able to tell them about the gospel but they do for sure feel the
spirit. I love helping others to find there ancestors it gives me a deeper desire
to be more involved in family history when I get home.
On our way home we accidently took a wrong turn
and ended up at the airport..... I hyperventilated a little. But we quickly
rerouted and drove to the Pilipino bread house instead. I love Pilipino people.
They are great!
Saturday was neat
So our day started of by dropping by for an appointment
with a potential we had.as we knocked on
her door it looked dark and no cars.. Sadly didn't look too promising after
waiting for a while we started to head back to our car to see her come to the
door and stop us. So we went inside and started to talk to her. Her name is Yvonne
she is from Cameroon (west Africa) she is the 9th of 11 kids and the only
member of her family here in America. She talked about how she had a desire to
get back on the path. I was able to give Yvonne the book of Mormon you sent me
with our family’s testimony.. More to come next week!
By Sunday we were very tired but we ended up breaking
our fast with an Italian/ Koran meal. We had dinner with two families who both brought
dinner. It was delicious.
Well.. sorry this week wasn't too eventful but
the work is hastening! And we are excited to be apart of it! Unfortunately Sister
Allen is being transferred tomorrow. Sadness. I will miss her a lot. I've
learned so much from her and she has become one of my dearest friends on the
mission. But I'm always up for a new adventure! Keep being awesome love you
all!
Love,
Sister Clark
