Hello again,
I start to laugh every time I replay in my head seeing my aunts jump
with surprise when we pulled up next to them. What a coincidence that
you happened to be on the phone with them. I had talked to Ann's
brother earlier on in the week because we are going over to his house
for dinner this week and he mentioned that there was going to be a
shower on Saturday. So, several times throughout the day I had joked
around with Elder Stephenson saying...Look! Theres my aunt!...without
actually seeing anyone. However, when we actually drove by them I told
him I saw them so he flipped the truck around and we pulled up next to
them. My comp said he had never seen anyone jump as high while seated
as aunt Wendy did. Yesterday was the confirmation of the 3 Myanmar
kids and Elder Stephenson was confirming one of them so we went to
that. They are in the same ward as the Harringtons so I saw them. We
had a lesson right before and then one directly after so I didn't get
to talk to them. However, we were at a chapel later last night and I
saw brother Harrington again and got to say hi. Sightings of people I
know are getting very frequent.
This week we were super busy. Monday night the district leaders from
Vernal and Roosevelt drove down to stay with us for the leadership
meeting on Tuesday. They hadn't been to Heber before so they didn't
know where we lived and they both accidentally left their phones in
their areas. As a result, we had to park by the highway at 10 pm and
watch for their car and chase them down when we saw them.
The leadership meeting was great. It is weird to hear President Pitts
talk about going home. He has 7 weeks left!
Thursday we drove up to Roosevelt with the APs, then I went with the
Spanish Elders the entire day until Friday morning. It was great to
see 2 of my favorite families...the Vasquez and Uribes. Hna Vasquez,
who got baptized when I was there, is now in the Relief Society
presidency. Her other son who didn't get baptized when I was there has
since got baptized and her husband who didn't either has been coming
to church. One of the branch missionaries in Roosevelt who went
teaching with us happens to be from Rupert, Idaho. His name was
Russell Griffin and his siblings are Rex, Ralph, Ron, Ray, and Rita.
He said he remembered the Mackays well.
Things are going well in the area. We started teaching a young couple
yesterday that seem awesome. He is from Guatemala and she is from
Mexico.
Tomorrow we are headed to Provo for ZLC. Hard to believe tomorrow is May!
Have a great week! Love, Elder Clark
