Welcome to my weekly, I didn't wanna write this but here
I am :) hope y'all had a good week! And hope you are looking forward to
this email, because I know I wasn't :) haha
We
did some service for a bar haha that was pretty ironic but the guys who
ran the bar were super cool. Then we went over to a Jewish man's house
named Ike, we helped him clean out his garage (see picture below) it was
awful haha. We found a collection of stamps and some really nice
baseball, football and basketball cards that he never knew he had.. Then
he promised us if he gets rich off of selling that collection that he
would buy us BRAND NEW CARS! hahahaha this guy was so funny, we also
found a few New Testaments in his garage... If only he had read them..
Nahaha he's a super solid dude, great guy all around.
So
to sum up my week in a few words, we had tons of service opportunities
and planted lots of seeds. Oh! And I baked a banana cream pie for a PMF
and now we have a very wholesome pie trade happening. Every time we
teach them we pass the pie pan around haha it's sick.
Spiritual
thought: This week I listened to a devotional by Elder Stevenson, he
talked about fear.. Fear is something we all experience in life, whether
that is fear of spiders, snakes or fear of change it is all fear. He
specifically focused on fear of rejection or failure.
In 1905 a Prestigious University turned down a PHD dissertation
saying it was "irrelevant or fanciful" The student who wrote the
dissertation was Albert Einstein.. He rejected the rejection and went on
to be a man we learn about in school.
It's important to keep a perspective of reality in times of fear but not
letting them define you, let the barriers you face in life be external
not internal.
That's all, hope you enjoyed and I hope you have a great week!
Love, Elder Clark
