Transfers




hi family. thanks for all writing big letters this week. i love them!
so on stake conference or whatever. id you actually hear and see ucdorf? and the relief society pres?
so here is one more question. so i found a phone like 3 days ago when i was jogging with elder shupe. it was just on the side of the road its a little banged up but it still works. its a Samson Galaxy s (touch screen smart phone) did you want it?  because i don't know what to do with it?
anyway this week has been great. so we had zone conference this week it was great. lots of new insights on missionary work. it was all about faith. and obedience. i learned so much and the scriptures that he had were the bomb. plus we have a new method of track ting (door to door) instead of saying, hi were missionary's from the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. and were just going around today share the book of Mormon with everyone. and telling people about our church. (door slam!) we instead say hi were Representatives of Jesus Christ. and we asking people if they would like a blessing upon there home? and if we could pray with them.  its a really cool idea. so the approach is were here to help you out and here is something for you. and before people saw us as taking away form them. (there current religion/church, there addictions/sin there life style) but now were offering to help and bless them. so far it really isn't working. but were still new at it and need some more practice.
so it to the end of another transfer (wow time flys by!) and i found out on Sunday im going to a town called Chickasaw (spelled wrong) its a town smack dap in the middle of Oklahoma. i don't really know alot about it. but my new companions names is elder Platt and elder Kyle so i will be in a three some for a while. there opening up a new area so i might be switching half way through. but im not for sure on that. i don't know elder platt but elder kyle i served around my first transfer. he used to be (i hope he changed) really apostate. like listened to what ever music he wanted, going on face book etc. so i might be there just as a baby sitting job. i hope not because im leaving such a great area and could be going to a non productive one. idk thats were the Lord wants me so im sure it will be great (or at least a place to learn humility)
its sad because im going to miss the two baptisms here. i might come back for them but i will have to ask permission. elder shupe isn't super excited to take over the area. you could blind fold him spin him around three times and let him go and he would be lost.  so he is kind of scared about that. but im sure he will do great. he has already been in the area two transfers so im sure he will figure it out.
o i forgot on Sunday we were driving home from church in the rain. and i saw this truck on the side of the road in a ditch. but it didnt have its hazards on or lights or nothing. so im like what ever than the spirit promoted me to turn around so i made a uturn and stoped on the side of the road. turns out this truck when off the road in to the ditch and through a barbwire fence and was stuck. i jumped out and ran down the bank. there was a lady in the car just sitting there. i knocked on the window and asked if she was OK. she got out of the car and just started bawling. and saying that she couldn't afford a tow truck and this isn't her day and her life sucks. she wasn't hurt physically but her mental status was a wreck this just drove her off the edge (both literally and mentally) so we made some calls and got her some people coming. mean while like ten people form our church stopped to help. it was so cool to see how many people drove by and didnt help. and then like 10 lds people stopped to give assistance. it was kind of like the good Samaritan or something. she got a ride form a friend and sister eddelman let her sit in her car while she waited. i gave her my suit coat because it was cold and elder shupe inspected the truck . just a good sight to see.
im going to be sending home some cowboy boots just so you know so be looking for them. dad you can wear them to a date night if you want. but just be sure to not get them muddy.
yea that was to bad i didnt see ken and get to talk with him for a little bit. but it doesn't super matter i will see him in about 14 months so not to long. wink. well i love serving the Lord i love this Gospel keep up the good work back home dont get stressed out about anything. the Lord will take care of you.
so yea thats it for this week. i guess. i love you all so much your so lucky getting to see "the avengers". i saw a news paper cover the other day that said  "if you haven't seen the avengers yet you should just Punch yourself in the face!"  so i did. jk but its ok i will see it one day. plus its only a movie.
i love you  and i miss you
Love your favorite missionary
Elder Clements
