14 weeks in Oklahoma




hi family and friends
so this week has been super sick awesome tight high flying terifficness! thats just to put it in one sentence. so the rest of pday was ok basket ball again so no big deal. on tuesday we were tracking and it was like 70. but then all of the sudden this big wind picked up and the temp droped to 46 in five min! it was the crazyest thing i have ever experienced. i was sweating and stuff and then all of the sudden i was freezing to death in a short sleeveshirt. just weird. any way the next day we were out knocking on doors (shocking!) and this little tiny baby kitty was meowing and coming up to us to get attention. it was so cute i almost threw up. jk lol. so we were going door to door and elder curtis started meowing and then i started to get really into it. and then just for fun started making angry cat noises. and this lady was like hello who is it. (behind the door) it was just an acward moment.
so because we do so much tracking we make up games wile were doing so. one of my favorites is were your comp picks a word that you wouldnt normally use in a sentence. like grass or bricks or fingers. and then in your conversation with the people at the door you try to use that word. and tye it into the gospel. like just look at the grass, just looking at the grass makes me think theres a god. its fun to play. and make the day go a hole lot smoother. so we are still geting fed every day. its fun to get to meet people and talk about stuff. you get to try a whole lot of interesting cooking. like there was this chicken stuffed inside a croissant and baked.  and every body serves GREEN BEANS. with every meal. o man im sick of those long skinny discusting vegatable.
so about the winter shoes i dont realy think i need any. it snows like once a year here. and when it snows were not suppost to go out side. so it would be a waist of money. but thanks for the offer.
so on saturday it was the most interesting day of my mission. so at first we had some great experences teaching some less actives. they wanted to come to church and stuff. and they said they miss the feeling of church. (sweet!) so elder L. Tom Perry. came and spoke to us at 6. to the whole steak not just the missionarys. and so we had to be there early. so we didnt have time to cook dinner. any way so i went to carls jr. and they gave me my food first, then they came out with the drink. they were two different people that gave me my stuff. so we drove away and just got out on the street. when i guy starts running and waving to us. we stop and he wasnt paying attention. and closelined himself on this pole. it was sad he got up and ran to the car and said you forgot your food. but then i kindly showed him the bag. it was really sad. because the guy just injured himself trying to serve me. so there you have it fokes. carls jr has the best customer service out there.
so after  CJ's we went to the curch and ate in the kitchen. and guess was eating at the same time? Elder perry! he came over and shaked our hands. asked us were we were from and how long we had been out. we talked for like five min. and then he put his arm around me and asked how many lessons we had this week. (O NO!) we had only had about 3 the whole week.  so i was stuttering and shaking. and he looked me in the eye and said you should be getting about 20. he asked if i thought i could do that? i said yes sir. and almost passed out again. i just go told whats what by an apostle of the lord! scary berry! that was crazy. i wouldnt recomend it.
so we went and herd him speak in the chapel. there was about 500 people there. and it was only for adults. he spoke about temple work and about covenants. he also talked about missionary work. he is a great speaker. it was a once in a life time experence. so after that we were all hungry so about 10 missionarys went to chillies. just to have a quick snack. it turned out to take like an hour and a half. and we got home latter than expected. zone leader came and told us to be more obedient. it made me feel terrible. because it wasnt planned at all. we couldnt controll how fast the food came out. so just bad news bears.
ok so dont panic or anything but we have had 4 earthquakes in the past 3 days. once on friday. twice on Saturday and another on sunday. on saturday it was a 5.6 and shook the whole house. things were falling off the wall. and elder soto ran away. he was scard to death. that was the first earth quake he has been through. so he ran to the volly ball court. it was funny. but the ground shook for like 30 seconds and was really crazy cool. i have never been in an earthquake that size befor. the others were really small like 4's and 3's. but still i thought oklahoma had tornados not earthquakes. nobody was injured i dont think so thats good.
any way. so hows life back home? how are the dogs? is it snowing allot out there? its like st george wether here(fall wether). how is the driving coming along lauren? im sorry that you threw up. thats bad. hope your feelingbetter. o those silly cats they need to learn to get along. o how was the garden in the end. did you get any crops?
any way i better get off there are alot of people waiting for the computer.
LOve you Elder clements
P.s i didnt get any letter form nana yet so hopfully its not lost or  i will get it soon.
