hi family
so this week has gone by super slow. i got your package so thats good. i love the pictures of Jesus. i dont want to give them away. and how did you know that i was craving mac and cheese? i swear you know exactly what i need. you must call my comp when im asleep and ask him what i was needing. well so. your guys week sound jammed packed and fantastic! i love your letters. they smell like teen spirit.
so this week we basically just tracked. and im so sick of getting doors slammed in my face. we are finally getting some work done. and finding new people but that first week was difficult. people answer the door in the exact same way it doesn't matter who it is. its "o i all ready belong to a church." or "not interested" im just thinking your going to have to hear it in this life or the next! and i would suggest this one because its easy er to get baptized. well any way. we placed 57 book of Mormons so far. have 200 I.T.C's (invitation to christ) we have tracked a total of 81 hours. at least im getting good at it. but there is alot of people that want to bible bash. we beat them so its ok. elder olinger loves to bash. he has a cheat sheep in his scrips. with all kind of scriptures that prove our religion right. its not very productive though. because the spirit is driven away by contention. and they end up pissed off because we proved them wrong. just crazy.
there is a challenge set out by the mission president that you should Finish the book of Mormon in like a month in a half. so thats going good. im all ready at 4th Nephi. ive been marking my scriptures like crazy. there more yellow, pink, orange, and blue then white now. i cant decide which is my favorite because it changes with every day. the book of Mormon is so inspirational and is truly written for our day. if more people would be willing to take a copy and read it. this world would be converted by now. theres alot of people that say. o i know that the book of Mormon is not true. and we ask if they have ever read it? and they say no. then we ask them how they know its not true? (gets them every time! wink) o missionary work is the bomb!
any way. this week was the LTM (leadership training meeting) and so we had elder Prewit with us. (his name sounds like prove it) he has been out for about 6 weeks and already thinks he knows everything. im pretty sure he is striving for leadership. which is a waist of a mission if you ask me. its now about if you become a zone leader or an assistant to the president. its about bringing souls unto Christ. and if you happen to get the opportunity to be a leader than great. but that more work for you.
any way. he is a good kid. elder neild (his comp and my district leader) is kind of sick of him. but we ended up tracking with him for two days strait. being with a three some of missionary's is ok but its not very fun tracking. because people are more intimidated with three people on there door step then two. but its nice some time because you only have to talk 1/3 of the time.
on sunday i Had to teach the Sunday school lesson because the teacher is lazy. so its the missionary's responsibility. and i taught on Jesus Christ so it was easy. plus there is only 10 people in the class. i taught why there needed to be a Savior and agency and the war in heaven. it was just kind of a throw to gether lesson. but that the way i like it. flying by the seat of your pants. we had dinner with this Mexican family. and they had legit stuff. it was so spicy and good. everything had jalapenos on them. but it was steak tacos. and they tasted so good. and as soon as i finished my plate they filled it up. so i had to remember to eat slow so that i don't offend them next time. because i couldnt finish the second plate and dessert.
well happy birthday lauren. sorry i didnt send you a present. i didnt know what to get you. those boys better treat you right or im going to muff them up. but just remember to try not to get two serious with boys right now.
dad guess what i met someone that has hunted at the new state before. they weren't a member or anything but they had visited the club and gone a couple of times. i found out because he had a ducks unlimited shirt on. and asked him about it. nice guy but didnt want the gospel.
hey do you know if courtney is all right? she hasnt written me in like 4 weeks. and i miss her letters.
well any ways love you all so much
your favorite missionary
Elder Clements
