i dont know why but this computer is being super slow today it took me twice as long to read your emails. your guys emails was super long today. i like that alot. dont worry im a fast typer so i can read and type all in the allotted time.
so this week as been great! monday was super boring. we were supposed to go to the zoo. but we didnt so we ended up playing monopoly (again) and now we cant go to the zoo without special permission. because they split the whole mission up and now its like 7 zones instead of 4. its crazy there is so many leader ship positions out there. (thats probably why they made me senior).
so i wanted to go senior this transfer but i also didnt. because its alot of responsibility watching over someone. (especially a greenie) and because elder olinger left i had to take over the area. elder shupe (shupe dog) is really a swell guy. ilike him alot. hes humble and knows alot about the gospel. plus since we already have that common ground we didnt go thourgh that "awkward week" he wants to work hard (witch is more than i can say for all the rest of my comps) so we set some awesome transfer goals. and i know we can complete them. we want 6 baptisms this tranfer, and 26 new people coming to church.
on Wednesday i had to stay home and watch elder evans. because they didnt have room for him. so i didnt say good bye to elder damon (my dad) and elder eggbert (my old district leader) maybe we will see each other again one day. but probably not. and because we had nothing to do. we just were throwing a Frisbee around for like an hour. then it broke. and so we helped some people from Uzbecastan move. it was cool that we got to serve these people. i gave them a book of Mormon. but they said that they had a hard time reading english. but they would try anyways.
OOOOO hold the phone i forgot about what happened on Monday!!!!! so i was feeling a little sick after lunch. but i wasnt worryed about it. my stomach hurt but i thought i could tough it out. then it got worse and worse. my stomach felt like i was being stabbed over and over. and so i laid down. then i had to get up and go to the bathroom. i had the runs for like two hours. "SICK" stomach felt like crap. then i threw up for like 10 min straight. and then dry heaved for the next six hours! i was up until 3 in the morning. thinking i was going to die. elder olinger took me to the hospital. but sister taylor called just before we got there. and told us that it wasnt needed. (that actually really made us kinda mad, elder olinger was furious) but we think its food poisoning. but im not sure. anyway's top 3 worst days of my mission.
but now im good.
so we have been working hard and choosing the right. tracking alot. and we ran into this Jehovah witness. (my first one) and he was willing to tell us all about his religion. its freeking nuts. i thought we had some far out doctrine but man these people get some crazy stuff. most of his stuff was good and i could see how they get some converts. but the other part was freeking nuts. like the third of the hosts of heaven chose not to follow the Savior because they saw Eve and how beautiful she was and so they chose to come down to earth to have sex with women. in the form of a man. and there offspring is the giants that are in the old Testament. and the giants that we have today. and satan had accessto heaven until 1912. and now he cant get there anymore. he was a nice guy though. he gave us some delicious chocolate. and offered us some coffee. but we told him its against our religion. and he freaked out. and told us that it wasntin the bible that you couldnt have it. (we told him that weed wasnt in the bible either)
"so thats whats happening around the country, heres whats happening in your neck of the woods."
well i love you all so much and your the best! i did get the persian book of mormon and gave it to that guy. but we havent seen him since because he wants to read it first before we come back.
keep writing me and praying for me. i will see you guys in about 16 months
love Elder Clements
