Hola,

Hows it going? It was a good week.

After I sent the email last week we went to the llama farm in Spanish fork. It was pretty fun to relive the memories of going to the llama fest like 6 years ago. The only disappointment is that they did not have adult size llama fest shirts.

We had interviews with President Pitts on Wednesday. It is fun to be around him and learn from everything he says. He is very knowledgeable! During the interview he talked a lot about how he feels that there is something more in Elberta that needs to be done but he doesnt exactly know what it is..... At the Bateman Ranch out there they have a big recreation building for the workers and upstairs have a movie room thing. We are probably going to plan a movie night and watch a church movie and have food with all the workers. I am not an event planner so we will see how that turns out.

Most of the investigators are doing well. The familia Munoz have always been busy or not at home so we werent able to teach them last week which was pretty dissapointing. Angelica was really worn out from work when we visited her but we had a good lesson on the Book of Mormon. We met with Danis again and he is the man. Last time he asked if he needed to get married to get baptized and we told him  yes so we have been trying to work on how to get that done. We may have to go get a sam's club membership or something because he needs some sort of photo I.D. He has been reading what we have left though and the night of our first visit they started praying as a family which they have never done.

A couple weeks ago we were knocking an apartment complex and there werent any hispanics but someone pointed out a house that was hispanic. We had gone twice before and nobody was home. Saturday night we went back and a really nice lady named Alejandra let us in. We started talking to her then after a couple minutes she just started crying. She said she had talked to missionaries like 8 years ago but she is going through a really hard time in her life and it was a sign from God that we were there to help her. We talked to her for awhile and explained how the Gospel can bless her life and invited her to church. Sunday morning we stopped by just to remind her and she said she wanted to go but didnt have anything to wear. We told her just whatever she had was fine and she came with her 6 year boy and and 7 year old niece. It was a good week at church and she said she really enjoyed it!

Good things are happening overall in the branch. Thursday we are going out with a bunch of branch members and knocking a trailer park for an hour. Sounds like things are going well at home. Glad Ashlee found a job!

Love you!  Elder Clark
