hola family
you know what song just popped in my head, when i think about rain i think about singing. when i think about singing ist a heavenly tune. when i think about heaven i think about angels. when i think about angels i think about you!
so you guys all wrote small letters. it depressing :( next week wright BIG letters! especially because i wrote this huge letter last week. elder curtis said it was D&C 139. so this week is good. nothing really going down.onmonday we played two hand touch football. it was so much fun, because we usually play basket ball and that get so boring! so it was good we got to switch it up.
so i got your package and the tape. it was fun to here your voices. i like you all (just so you know) mom your funny about your whole mad at the people pretending to be Mormons. its funny. i listened to it with elder curtis. and he thinks you guys are nuts.dad your funny about telling me about the A pond and the 47 lake what ever it is. but thats ok that what make you you. courtney you only talked for like five seconds. that made me sad. ithought you cared about me more than that. you jk i love you. o laren you such a teenager. what more can i say. and i LOVE the hoodie its so soft and warm. its like my new best friend. but how come you bought a new one? why didnt you send one of my others out? just wondering.
were still exercising during the morning. so im getting better in shape. so i came out on the mission field at about 160 and now im up to 180! i have gained 20lbs! because every one feeds us so good.i hate it and love it at the same time.
so im reading though the old Testament. because i was on excanges with elder adair. and he got sick so we basiclly stayed inside for like 6 hours. i read the whole book of Genesis and part of exodus. the old Testament is one of the crazyest books i have ever read. like first off the citys of sotom and gamora are destroyed by comets. and angels come to lot and tell him to get out of there. then some guys show up and want to beat up the angels. they run away and lots wife looks back and gets turned into salt. then lots daughters think that there the last people on the earth so they think they have to repopulate the planet. so they get there dad drunk and sleep with him. theres just some crazyness in it. i dont know if i will continue. maybe later when i have more time. like off my mission.
so just lots of tracking this week. its really starting to bum me out. just knocking on door after door and getting no after no. so were going to think of some creative ways to find people. i told you about how were going to start a stop smoking work shop right? well any way if i havent. this is the gist of it. there is a program that the church put out about how to stop smoking in 7 days. its 100% effective if you follow all the steps you get smoke free in a week. so were going to start teaching that about twice a week. and invite every body to join. and maybe they will just stop smoking and maybe they will hear some gospel and be interested in what we teach.
so to dinner appointments i bring the uke to play some songs. just as a thank you. we play armys of helaman. that has an extra thank you verse. its funny. everybody laughs at it. so im contuning to increase my talents on that. one of the other missionarys has a uke book that he is going to let me borrow. so hopefully i will learn some technique.
we helped this guy move on wed. it was crazy he is an investigator. with his wife. they lived in this huge house. and they had so much crap in that house you wouldnt even believe it. like 1000 pairs of shoes! and dresses out the wazoo. most clothes thay had were brand new. it was crazy. they had this garage just full of everything you could think of. sports equipment, furniture, computers, tvs, car parts, artwork (sculptures,paintings,pottory) it looked like the DI. mixed with NPS. there trying to sell the house for $600,000 and thats a ton for here in oklahoma. the houses here are so inexpensive. like a $50,000 house here in OK is like a $150,000 house in UT. so that house is like a two milliion dollar home! so every body here drives nice cars. because the houses are so cheap. i swear there is not a 10 year old car in oklahoma. every bodys has eather a camaro or a mustang. or a big truck. you can have tinted windows here in OK. so like every window has like black windows. its crazy. and it seams like everybody here is part of some indian tribe. every body has one indian tripe licence plate or the other. but theres not like any reservations here. they just live in normal towns. you can gamble here in oklahoma. so theres like 10 casinos that people go to. one of our recent converts works there. she works till like 3 in the morning. so its hard to get her and her family to church. there a cool family though. we go to see them like every week.
another family that we see is the pools family. there less active and were trying to get them to come back to church. he (the dad) just got out of the habit of coming to church so were trying to get him back in the habbit. they invite us over to teach and read scriptures with them like twice a week. they fed us dinner on friday. it was spagetti. (again) we get that about three time a week. any way they came to church yesterday so thats cool beans. hope fully they will continue to progress in the gospel.
so that about it for this week. i love you all so very much. you guys are the bomb
im just going to end with my testimony. i love this church so much, i know that my Savior and Redeemer lives. i know that this church is true and that Joseph smith was a prophet of god. i know that the book of Mormon is true and its scripture same as the bible. it has blessed me so much in this life. and i know it can bless others. i want to share what i have with other. and i want this whole world to know what i know.
love yall so very much.
Elder Clements.
ps thanks for every thing you do
love you.
