Hola!
No firetrucks this week, but it was a good week nonetheless.
Tuesday morning we had Zone Conference. There was a theme scripture and a bunch of people got called up randomly to give talks one it. Luckily, I was not called upon. Monday a couple of the Elders in the zone had been scavenging the tie section at D.I. and somehow found and purchased 21 matching ties for the zone to wear. We had some good trainings and as always it is fun to see everyone.
Thursday morning we went to the Timpanogas temple as a district for the 8:00 session. We had exchanges that night and Elder Barrera went with the two zone leaders and I stayed with Elder Best in our area. It was different having to talk the majority of the time but the Spanish is coming along more and more and it wasn't too bad. We met with a new family, Adriana and Leopoldo and they seem to have some good potential.
Friday Elder Best got a call that his visa was in. He is very lucky seeing how it took Elder Covington 13 weeks compared to Elder Best's 6 days. Remember Elder Hudson from my first transfer? He has been out over 6 months now waiting for his visa to Spain and the Spanish consulate told him last week that it would still be another 3 months. We decided to celebrate the arrival of the visa with a trip to Cafe Rio, and went again Saturday just because.
Yesterday went well. Adriana and Fidel finally came to church. I may have lost track of everyone and not told you about them but we have been working hard with them and it was good to finally have them there. We found out Enrique got a job and started working Saturday. They are definitely being blessed for their decisions. We had good lessons with both Laysha and Tomas. Laysha should be getting baptized this Friday and Tomas the 29th. We stopped by Juan and Maria's and they gave Elder Best a huge list of referrals filled with family and friends for him to contact in Mexico. The last week was a big testimony builder of how we are assigned where we need to be at the exact time and exact place. Elder Best came to us Friday, Saturday we had the baptisms of Juan and Maria who happen to be from the exact part of Mexico where Elder best is going. Then, the day before he leaves he gets a big list of referrals. He came to our area for a reason. We went to the MTC last night around 9 and dropped him off. As we were standing in the lobby I saw President Nelson, my MTC branch president walking up. It was very fun to see him and talk to him for a little.
Thats about it.. hope you are doing awesome.
Much Love,
Elder Clark
