Hello!

 

I cant believe Christmas is this week! The month has flown by.

 

The highlight of the week was Carmen's baptism. We had good support from the ward and the gonzalez family came to watch. Elder Cordova baptized her and I confirmed her yesterday.

 

Some sad news is that Manuel had to move back to Chicago. He had come here and was living with one of his daughters but wasnt able to find a steady job so he had to go back... He should get baptized there though and hopefully with his wife too.

 

This week was super busy. We had a leadership meeting all day Tuesday. The training we gave went well. I went on exchanges with the 2 district leaders of the zone on wednesday and thursday. Wednesday was with Elder Rodriquez who covers the UVU area. They cover like 30 singles wards. It was wierd to knock doors at student housing places. Thursday was with Elder Allan of Scotland. It was fun to be on a bike for a day in his area. However, I am glad to have a car. Especially today due to the snow.

Yesterday Jose Alonso of the 70 showed up at our sacrament meeting. I didnt recognize him at first and he was sitting on the stand right in front of me. (I was playing the piano). He gave a great talk at conference in October and it was cool to hear him speak in Spanish.

 

We have received countless invitations for Christmas. We are going with a Peruvian family and then a Chilean family on Christmas Eve. Then, on Sunday morning we are going to the home of the high councilman over missionary work in Julie's stake. He invited us back in October.

 

I am excited to talk on Sunday! 3:00 would be great.

 

Love, Elder Clark
