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.”
-Dallin H Oaks
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
