Hello!
Another fast week......... We had lots of interesting things happen. Monday night we got a call from one of the Elders in the zone saying he was tired of his companion and wanted an E.T. (Emergency Transfer). Luckily our appointment had cancelled so we had time to go work out the problem. We asked him where he was and he told us. Then, we asked where his companion was and he said he didn't know. It turns out that they were riding bikes and the one that called us didn't feel like going anymore and the other one just kept going. We went and picked up the first one then found the other one riding around. We talked to them separately then had to leave them to go to our appointment. We found a member to drive them around so at least they wouldn't be on bikes. We went back later that night with the APs and had them talk out their problems. They have some serious cultural differences (Japan and the Marshall Islands) but as usual their problems had come from not doing the simple things. They are fine now.
While we were doing our weekly planning on Friday we got a call from President Pitts. He said he had just got off the phone with Elder Jensen from the Presidency of the 70 and that he had a referral for us. That usually doesn't happen so we listened closely. The referral was for a lady that Elder Jensen had visited at a rehab center. We still aren't exactly sure what the Lady's situation is but from what it sounds like she had her records removed after being a member for awhile. We went and contacted he last night and she was really nice. It was cool to say when we knocked on the door that Elder Jensen had sent us.
Friday I went and met with a BYU counselor which was weird. Weird to have to think about what classes I am going to take. They said you can go into my account and sign me up for American Heritage on March 26th. It is under "freshman envelope" classes I think. Make sure I get a legit professor. I dont have to sign up for the rest of the classes until June something.
Saturday night we had an awesome miracle happen. The Ortegas, who have been ready to be baptized for years but have refused to get married, said they are ready to get married. The wife went to go visit her mom in California for 3 weeks and I guess it helped her realize what she needed to do.
Well, gotta go. Have a great week!
Love, Elder Clark
