hi family
so this week was good.
a couple of crazy things happened this week. so you remember when i passed out like six months ago and i hit my face. well i started passing out again. i dont really know whats wrong but i called Sister Taylor and she just told me to drink lots of water and stay out of the sun as much as i can. i passed out like ten times in like three days. i think im going in for a doctors appointment in like a week but its still kind of up in the air. that happened on Wednesday. so ihad to stay in for that day and not bike or drive for the rest of the week. so elder platt is driving now. and he is a scary driver. like he can't stay on the road to save his life. and he backs out at like 30mph. i pray hard for that kid, good thing its only for this week.
so you know how you were tiling. we are tiling to. still with the same lady. she is so greatfull to have us help out, and she feeds us pizza. her husband is a little crazy, but what ever. its kind of scary working at her house because she said that she sent three different missionary's home when she was 16. she is older now so i dont think there is much to worry about but i will still keep my eyes open and run like joseph if anything goes wrong. (you know formpotophers wife)
our next door neighbor threw me a birthday bbq. it was kind of fun but a little bit awkward. there family is crazy and super.... what the word "forward." like even the mom that's like 50 she is still flirting it up with everybody at the party. but they mostly make fun of elder platt because he is super awkward and doesn't know what to do. the food was good though, steak and hamburgers. and they brought a pinyata and stuff. and they gave me a tie rack that spins. its cool, i have been kind of collecting ties since the beginning of my mission, and now i have about 100. i know i have enough to wear a different one every single day of the transfer and not wear the same one twice.
and the mosquitoes are crazy here. they bite you twice in the same place. they stick there nose in you once and they take some blood and then they get you again about an inch away. so if your not paying attention you could get bit like ten time in a row. we have some bug spray and it works if we remember to put it on. at night when your sleeping is when they get you.
so we went on exchanges with elder robb and robison. i was with robb this time, and he is really cool i like him alot. he is funny and really open to talk to you and everybody he comes in contact with. like you mom at the store. like we will be eating in a restaurant and he will talk to the guy that siting across the bar from us or just like people in walmart that are buying the same thing as him. but we went to go see this lady named vicky and she loves the missionary'sbecause her grandson is on a mission in south africa (that fetch) but she is a Baptist, so she flagged us down on the street and was like hey come over to my house. so we went over and she told us her whole life story and about her grandson. it was cool, and i guess he is being followed around by cameras and it will appear in the Joseph smith memorial building. but the first thing she said to us was i got my religion and you have yours so dont try to convert me. se were just going along and talking to her, and then something about the shooting in Colorado comes up and we started talking, and she was like why does God let thouse things happen, so we went over agency with her and like the plan of salvation, but it was sneaky. she didnt even know we were teaching a lesson. giggle giggle. and she was like that make perfect sense. and the spirit was there. and then she started asking other question about Mormons. and what we do and why we have the book of mormon. it was so great!! the spirit was there like crazy. then we had her read moroni's promise and she was crying and we bore our testimonies. so great she did like a 180 from dont try, to come back and teach me more. so we gave her a book of mormon. prayed with her and she was crying again. sweet thats the best, how could someone deny that kind of spiritual witness. so if all goes well she will get baptized.
this area is picking up and its good to serve here. the family with all the little girls came to church again. and they are loving it. they haven't been to church in like years so the whole ward is excited to see them coming. the daughterswill get baptized next month. and they fed us like the best cordon blues i have ever had. it was amazing they were baked into these rolls. and just melt in your mouth!
but yea that is pretty much it for this week. i will try to write you another letter. but no promises. i love you so much and i hope your having the best day!! i love you all so much
Lauren bring a journal to efy and write everything down, talkes, peoples names, what the spirit tells you, everything! and just remember to be your self and talk to everyone. is some one is lookin like they need a pick me up go and talk to them. dont say no to guys that ask you to dance because it took alot of guts for them to ask you out. so just be nice. you know obviously if their like big creepers and they ask you to dance like five hundred times you can say no then. and dont fall in love with they guy that play es the guitar.
well i love you all so much
Love Elder Clements
