Well we had a good week this week.
A
members daughter who is less active has been against the church and
missionaries for a long long time and just last week she randomly
stopped us on the road and wants us out for a BBQ she likes us a lot and
her husband is not a member and she has two kids = Potential! So that
was really neat to see. Man we have just been working over and over
again with these less actives and a less active family almost came to
church yesterday but
some how just didn't.... :( it is so hard sometimes. But that is OK
just gotta get back on the horse. The only way these less actives are
coming back to church is if the members help us and reach out. The
branch president is a great great guy but he has only been a member for a
year and I think he just sometimes doesn't know what to do. So I have
just been going through the handbook like crazy and I just need to bring
it up in the next branch council meeting and just show them things that
we should be doing. Because we are not really doing much. But it will
all get better and it will start booming :)
Well a miracle happened the other day. We went to go
stop by a former branch president who is less active and his wife is
less active too and she as well hates the church and the missionaries,
but She was sitting outside and we went to go talk to her and I had
her laughing and smiling and now she wants to have us over for supper :)
so that is a huge step.
Zach's interview for baptism is this Tuesday and he is getting baptized this Saturday
and he has asked me to baptize him :) I am so grateful for this work
mom. It is the hardest thing I have ever done but it is so rewarding.
Elder Camarena has been making Mexican food like crazy. His home made salsa is SO spicy.....my goodness it burns my mouth but
tastes so good. Also we have been working out at a gym at like 6:00 in
the morning it is 2 minuets away from our apartment.
Well all is going well over here. This week will be
really busy with getting everything ready for Zach's baptism and also
working with these less actives.
All is Well,
-Elder Clark
