Does time exist? - Week 12

 February 8, 2021


Ok so I thought I was on week 12.. but an Elder from my MTC district sent a weekly email and his email said week 14... So...

Welcome to Week 12's Email!! 
Hahaha
We started off the week with some service and baking cookies.. 

 My Comp and I baked a lot of cookies to drop off to the few friends that we have and we dropped off the rest to some members so we can build those member relations so we can dunk their friends 🙏 The cookies worked really well, we taught quite a few pretty fun lessons this week with members and planned some for next week. 

One of our friends Wendy, has a pretty crazy story.. I can't really tell you anything about it, but anyways...haha. We have weekly Bible studies with her and she mentioned her son wanted to join our Bible study. We said we would love to have him! Super respectful and cool guy, he is very devoted to his own church (which we respect haha) and he knows tons about the bible and when I say tons.. I mean TONS. So that was a little intimidating but we had a good Study session and he said he would love to join the future studies. I'll keep y'all updated on that. 

Each transfer our Mission President gives us some objectives and things to study, this transfer we have been studying Christ-like attributes and me being me, I chose patience haha. Luckily my companion has given me a great opportunity to exercise patience as I've been companions with him, bless up. Hahaha.... 
This study of patience led me to a quote and this might be my new favorite quote: 

“The number of good things we can do far exceeds the time available to accomplish them. Some things are better than good, and these are the things that should command priority attention in our lives.”

As missionaries we host Bible studies for our ward (Burbank 3) and the Studio City ward, this week we studied Hebrews 11. Now lemme tell ya if you haven't read this chapter, you are missing out. It starts off by talking about what faith is then it leads into talking about miracles that happened because of faith. If y'all read it then here is another fire quote to think about as you read it: 

"Faith precedes the miracle. It has ever been so and shall ever be. It was not raining when Noah was commanded to build an ark. There was no visible ram in the thicket when Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Two heavenly personages were not yet seen when Joseph knelt and prayed. First came the test of faith—and then the miracle”
-Ensign? 

Anyways if you've made it this far you are pretty cool and I hope your week is amazing 

Also a friend that my old comp and I made in Santa Monica got baptized on Sunday! Super sick!

Love, Elder Clark
