hi family/ everybody else that's cool enough to read my letters.
so kind of a cool week but you know not the funnest week of the miss
on Monday we went to the cowboy museum. it was pretty cool but we were the only ones there the the security people were breathing down our necks the whole time. so it made it not really fun. lots of old stuff. but nothing super cool. i took some pictures. but you couldn't take your camera into the coolest part. it was old Indian stuff. but its considered sacred and stuff so you couldn't take pictures. i really like our zone alot. we do all kinds of cool stuff together. we all came up with trucker names. (you know like red feather, or sitting bull) mine is feathered serpent (queto coa) elder shupes is white trash.
mexico sounds so cool! i super hate you guys right now. you know not really but still. you couldn't have waited like15 more monthes? o my nine months out mark is on april 13! this mission is just screaming by! the transfer is all ready over. and president taylor has one year left on his mission. so that means i will have the opportunity to serve with two presidents. it will be weird being so used to PT. and then going to some one completely new.
Im really into the study of Jesus and his life and his teachings all of the sudden. i told you i read Jesus the Christ right? and now im on my second time reading the new testament. i just love Jesus he is such a cool guy. Probably my favorite character in the book of Mormon is Teancum. (he is the guy that is one of the generals in the Nephite army at the time of moroni. and he travels around from place to place with a grappling hook. and he climbs city walls and he killed the king of the lamanites. you know what? that is right. he is a ninja!!!) so everything i read it comes back to Jesus Christ. the book of Mormon is truly another testament of Jesus Christ. i all ways thought of it as a history of the ancient Americans and their prophets. but they are allways talking about Jesus and how he would come and what he would do. i mean its got alot of history but it all leads up to the coming of Christ.
on Friday we went on exchanges and i had the opportunity to go to El Reno. its elder neilds area. and like 79% of the people there are native American (lamanites) and i just thought of how cool it was that i was fulfilling prophecy (just for a day but what ever just let me have my moment) we gave out like 7 book of Mormons. el reno is just a small town in the middle of no were. its kind of fun just to be there. because its just like how you think a small town would be. everybody waves when you pass by (or since were missionary's they yell out Mormons/ devil worshipers) they had a guitar hall of fame museum and they let you play the guitars! so i played some sick guitars for like a half an hour during lunch. makes me miss that awesome instrument.
any way so since its Easter everybody decided that they want to come church. its like one of the two times that people come to church. the other is Christmas. so we had about 60 people there that would have normally come. the place was packed. three people invited us to Easter. so we picked the fist one that offered. and we went over there and they said that it wasn't a good time. and they would feed us another time. it kind of pissed me off because we said no to a couple of really awesome family's to go to this family that invited us first. and they didn't even invite us in. so we went to the Micalchecks. (they all ways say we can come over for dinner no matter what day it is)
o and we got tranfer calls last night and im staying in OKC 3rd Ward for at least 6 more weeks with Elder Shupe.
so that's basically this week. i love you guys so much your the best family ever! send me lots of pictures please. love you
love your favorite missionary elder clements.
ps yes i got your package. and i swear you pray for inspiration on what to put in the package. it all ways seems to be what i need. like this is kind of gross but the wet wipes were perfect! i ate some crazy hot sauce and it was hotter on the other end. just saying.
