Woah what a week!! This one was full of miracles! We popped off and we are starting to figure out this street contacting thing.
First
off we hosted a pretty fun car wash. It was the least organized thing
I've ever been a part of... who let a bunch of 18yr old kids plan
anything? Hahaha those poor cars had so many swirls in their paint after
we washed them, but hey! They loved it 
Had my first in person Zone Conference Maskless!! Pretty stoked to get some normalcy going on.
We
have spent a lot of time contacting and trying to find friends and this
week it paid off. We got tons of numbers and made a few friends. We
were really bad at contacting when we started, hahaha but we are
starting to get the hang of it! The highlight of the week was when a
lesson canceled.. Weird right!? Hear me out, we prayed and decided to go
park contacting at a park we hadn't contacted at yet, we ended up
talking to a guy some would call "elect" or "very prepared" and he is!!
He was out mountain biking so I started talking bikes with him and he
took the conversation right where it needed to go, the gospel :) Long
story short he was having a really rough day, we shared a scripture with
him and talked with him for about an hour and planned another time to
meet, the coolest part was watching him cheer up and find joy as we
studied and answered his questions. Miracles like this are what being a
missionary is all about 
Spiritual Thought: resilience
Opposition, opposition is a blessing and can be so influential as
long as we are resilient (easier said than done). Learning Christ-Like
Attributes is something that is really really hard but that's what makes
it rewarding, we learn from hard things.
Isaiah 48:10
"Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."
I
know that when we turn to Christ while "in the furnace" we are able to
experience the power of the Atonement in our lives which allows those
afflictions to be consecrated for our good and will change our lives.
Anyway that's a long enough email for this week, have a good week and remember Jesus Loves u 
Love, Elder Clark
