Hola,
I really don't have too much news this week. However, I did experience two notable things for the first time on the misision. The first was getting bitten by a dog. That event occured in the town of Goshen. Goshen is a lovely little town past Genola and before Elberta. We were there knocking doors in a trailor park during the week and as usual 6 or 7 small, loud dogs ran up right when we entered the trailor park to let us know that we were in their territory. I guess one had some extra energy that day so he decided to try and bite me. It was a pretty small dog and I moved my leg so it really wasnt even that good of a bite but like I said, there isnt too much news this week, so that makes the email. To add to the story, we were with the English Elders later in the week and I looked in one of their backpacks and saw dog treats. I asked why they had them and the simple reply was, "Goshen." We borrowed some dog treats and returned to the trailor park. When all the dogs ran up we gave each on a dog treat, which they took, and silently trotted away. We will always bring dog treats now.
Also, Sunday we gave talks in an English ward. Pretty awesome I had made it 8 months without giving a talk right? Brother Gibson, who we live with, is on the High Council and asked us to speak with him in the ward he was assigned to. We both just gave short talks on the importance of the Atonement.
Most of the investigators are doing well. We had a couple of good meetings with Angelica. She has always said how it would be really hard to leave her traditions and go against her mom. We actually met her mom during the week while we were knocking in Elberta and she opened the door 2 inches and told us to go away. This gave us a better understanding of where Angelica was coming from. Bro. Munoz said he is too tired from work to keep meeting with us. The mom is awesome but for some reason really does not want to go to church. Her sister got baptized a year ago and before church every Sunday goes to her house to try and get her to go. She wasnt there yesterday but the Munoz's 9 year old daughter showed up with her Tia. We havent heard anything about Alejandra yet. We drove by her house during the week and her husband was outside and gave us a nice little stare down.
I hope you all are doing awesome! This week we have Zone Conference which are always great.
Love, Elder Clark
