Mission Week #85

May 21, 2012


Hi!

Last week was kind of uneventful but it went well.

Ivonet is doing awesome. We have been talking about the plan of
salvation and we had a specific lesson on temples/sealings/eternal
families. I love talking about that kind of stuff because it just
makes sense. We started off talking about how families are central to
God's plan and then went into how the sealing power existed in the
time of the Bible with Christ giving the authority to Peter. After
talking about the apostasy and how the authority was taken from the
Earth she asked the golden question.."So how is the power to seal
families for eternity back on the Earth?" Elder Jensen turned to a
picture of Joseph Smith in a book we have and without us saying
anything she immediately was like "ooooohhhhhhh I get it all now." We
had talked about the Restoration before but I guess it had never
'clicked.' She came to church yesterday and the speakers happened to
be talking about the restoration of the priesthood. That is another
one of my favorite topics because the pattern goes back to Moses and
Elias on the mount of transfiguration.

This week is going to be pretty busy...we have to put together a ZPA,
we have exchanges with the APs, then we are doing overnight exchanges
in Vernal/Roosevelt from Thursday to Friday. Fun, fun, fun.

Have a great week!  Love, Elder Clark
