So this week as I walked confidently down the sidewalk, I was excited to see to shiny coins, on the sidewalk. I walked by them and decided to pick them up, as I grabbed for one, It didn't come off the ground, I realized that they were both super glued to the sidewalk. My companion laughed at me pretty hard. It was embarrassing.
Anyways, yes I got the two photo books from from you guys, one of them got lost, but I got it eventually! My companion is from Ifugao, which is just another Province in the Philippines. They speak Ilokano there. SO about the people we are teaching, we had 6 investigators at church, and 3 less actives. The investigators at church were, sister Kelly, Brother Chris, and his sons, And Ryan, Mark, and Jay. The friends of Alfred, who is a member. they are in the YSA ward. Sister Kelly is all ready to be baptized, she just wants permission from her parents, even though she is old enough to make the decision on her own, she wants her mom to approve, because her mom is strongly against it. That is cool that Natalie got accepted into Weber! And send me more pictures! I want pictures of the house too! So I bought myself some basketball shoes earlier, as a late christmas present to myself. they are Class A Knock-offs, so they were only 36 dollars in US money. they are kobe basketball shoes.
Anyways, this week has been great! I Really like they way my new companion teaches, he teaches with the spirit. I know that there is no other way, but by the spirit. I was soo glad to see your faces on mothers day! I know it seemed like a short time, but I have to be obedient. So in my area, there are some great things going on. The district and I are organizing a stake fireside about enrolling in seminary and institute, and missionary work. Since we are assigned in the YSA ward, and at the central focus of institute for the whole Manila, we have a great opportunity to work very closely with seminary, and institute. So one of my main focuses right now in my mission is just being exactly obedient. I have realized that I can't control people's agency, like the investigators, and such, But I know that success is measured inward, so I have been being very obedient lately, because I have direct control over that. I am very happy to be serving, and I feel the Lord helping me change into a better person than I used to be, that is the biggest miracle in my mission, and I am so thankful for it. I love you so much, I want you all to also strive to be exactly obedient to all the Lord commands us! We may not understand why, but we do understand it comes from God, or from the mouth of his servants, so we must obey, I love you so much, until next week!
Love Elder Clark
