This week will probably be a shorter email because we just got back from changes and we got to get to work soon, but unfortunately Elder Mercado had changes and I had to say goodbye to him. He was an amazing companion for me, taught me a lot and I will miss him, but now I will get to make new friends with Elder Nevarez who is from Ensenada Mexico! Maybe I saw him when I went down to visit a couple of summers ago haha. But anyways, even though I will miss Elder Mercado, I am SO excited for the cylce with Elder Nevarez and we are going to baptize a ton.
So this week we worked hard and put a few more baptismal dates. We found another new family who are super cool and finally our local church building opened back up again, so now it will be SO much easier for our investigators to come to church since now they can walk and don`t have to pay for transportation. I am hoping to truly make this one of the best cycles of my mission. And our zone had a lot of changes as well but we will have a TON of success here now and we have some really good District Leaders and Elders in a zone to help us here. Finally, this week we had a zone attack this week and got over 40 references. The sisters in our zone drew out the whole plan of salvation on the sidewalk of the stake center, and we invited people on the street to come in so we could explain the Plan of Salvation in 5 minutes. Almost all of them, after hearing what our message truly is, opened their hearts and accepted a return appointment. It was a really good idea and will help us out a lot this week.
We have also been having a lot of success inviting investigators and less active members to play soccer and basketball with us every Saturday morning to help them get to know the church a little more as well. We always have a lot of fun and that is how we have specifically gained the trust and have started teaching a little bit to our landlords. They are a super cool family that live above us and always invite us to eat and hang out with them. We have also gotten to know some of their family members and and going to be teaching a whole new family this week thanks to them. So everything is going great here, and I couldn`t be more excited. I can`t believe how fast last cycle went by and it is even crazier to think that I only have 2 more cycles left.... Today I watched some of the first people I knew here in the mission, some of the people that got here around my time, finally go home. So I guess I better give it my all with Nevarez these last 3 months!!! Love and miss you guys tons and have a great week!
Elder Clark
