Hi!
Things are good here in Heber... Last week was pretty busy. Monday was Elder Stephenson's birthday so we got some pizza, ice cream, and played dodgeball for p-day. Monday night the District Leaders from Vernal and Roosevelt drove in and stayed the night with us. They are both really cool. One is from Veracruz Mexico and the other one is from Oaxaca Mexico. Elder Lopez from Spain is the District Leader here in Heber. We came out of the MTC together and he was one of the English Elders in Santaquin when I was there so it is fun to have him here. Tuesday we drove down to Provo, had breakfast at the mission office, then went to a chapel for a short ZLC. Everyone seemed to like the Nacho ZPA. The DLs joined us after ZLC for a leadership training meeting. President Pitts leaves the 28th so he is getting us all prepped for the new mission president. It is going to be weird without him. Wednesday President came up for interviews and I had my last interview with him. Thursday we drove up to Roosevelt and Vernal to go to the district meetings and present the ZPA.
5 or 6 months ago in Orem Elder Cordova and I found and taught this guy named Carlos. I dont remember if I told you about him but he was awesome. At first he was a little skeptical but after 3 weeks he was progressing well and he eventually came to church. We had a lesson with him the Monday night after he went to church and he said he had liked church a lot and when he had gotten home he read like the first 15 chapters of the Gospel Principles manual. We asked him how he felt about everything and he said that this was what he had been looking for his whole life. He accepted baptism but right after saying yes he informed us that he would be moving to Saint George the following day. He moved and I had called him back a couple times to see if he had gotten in contact with the missionaries there but he hadn't because he was living in a Hotel and didn't have a set address. Thus, I was unable to send a referral. However, I felt like calling him back Thursday night and he is doing awesome. He said the missionaries just happened to go to his apartment and they were able to start teaching him again. The missionaries were actually at his house when I called and he was going to have his interview that night and he was baptized this past Saturday.
When I was in Santaquin this lady who had a son on a mission would always tell us when she saw us how many fast Sundays her son had left. I was thinking about that last week since it was fast Sunday and realized I have......1 left. Weird.
Hope everyone has a good week!
Love, Elder Clark
