Hola,
As I am sure you are aware of, I didn't send an email yesterday due to Memorial day. The Family History Center was closed. However, this did give us some extra time yesterday morning so we went to the annual Santaquin Firefighter's breakfast. Evidently it has been a tradition for quite some time and it was pretty good. They wouldn't let us pay which wasn't a surprise. One of the English Elders who went with us is from Lehi and is doing a "trial mission" thing. He has been here for almost 2 months and should be getting his real call in the next couple weeks. No matter where he goes, he won't be loved like the missionaries here are loved. It's still funny to be walking through Wal Mart and having almost every single want to say hi to us and all the mom's with young kids point and whisper in their kids ears... "Look, the Missionaries!" It is certainly a unique mission.
Sunday was a successful day solely based upon the fact that Danis and his novia came to church. It was 5th Sunday so "La Obra Misional" was in charge of the program. The branch mission leader assigned the talks about 3 weeks ago and they were assigned to the language missionaries. Its a stake calling and they are all returned missionaries of many years whose Spanish isn't quite the best but they are great. Danis said he liked it so that's all that matters. They spake and we all sang "Al Mundo ve a Predicar." I have now completed 10 months without giving a talk in Spanish in Sacrament meeting. It has got to be some sort of record.
We had interviews with the Presidente last week. He mentioned that I had been in the area for a long time and asked if Elder Ramires was ready to take it over. Who knows if that was some kind of hint. I know he takes a long time to pray about transfers so we shall see what the call says Saturday night. It is always good to talk to him, he's the man.
Miran Munoz hasn't been back to church since we gave her a baptismal date like a month ago. The parents seemed to have changed their mind. Most people seem to accept that it doesn't seem right that they don't remember their baptism as a baby and that they didn't choose to do it but then they always go off on traditions... Oh well.
Sounds like everyone is doing well. Do work,
Love, Elder Clark
