Elder Nathan Michael Clark: 2014-12-01 Survived a Typhoon and Still Serving

So Brother Twante is an Investigator that should be baptized on the 20th of this month. So it sounds like you guys had a great time in Texas! I'm jealous I just watched the video of the cultural celebration at the Phoenix Arizona temple. It looked beautiful! Was it at Oçonnor? And yes I am so excited to skype you guys! I am not completely sure if I can skype, due to the lack of web cams here, but we will definitely try! Pray that we can Skype!

So this week I ate sea turtle! I thought it was tuna until the member told me what it really was. It was really good! Like tuna, but better, and it had some delicious flavoring too! I also ate chicken intestines on a stick, I might have told you that last week. I Also ate jack \fruit which is that huge fruit I will send a picture of. Their mangos here are delicious too!

Concerning the group here, note, not even big enough to be a branch haha. It is going okay. Whenever it rains the church attendance drops drastically. Filipinos are literally so afraid of rain. They think that if their head gets wet they will get sick. 20 minutes before church started we had 0 members there, and our investigator, and when it was time to start we had like 5. But by like five minutes past we had like 12 and altogether we had 14 church attendance, counting the missionaries, so it was a total of 18. Second lowest since ive been here. Its pretty cool though, I get to do some cool calling and stuff. Like I always conduct sacrament meeting, I am the one who counts the church attendance usually, and I also take the tithing, and count it. It's pretty cool to do all these things that no other missionaries do!

So this week we also had a pretty large typhoon. It ripped the roofs off of some people's homes. It gave us some great opportunities to serve! And we are all okay here, nobody was hurt. Anyways, I'm gonna send some pics, love you guys!!!!! Miss you so much! thank you for sending pictures!
