hello my fellow servants of god. (you know we all serve in different ways)
so this week has been good. i havent fainted since but i didnt go to the doctor yet, i guess there hasnt been an opening for an appointment yet, idk it all ways takes for ever to get medical stuff done. unless its an emergency. but sister taylor is still in contact with me, and she calls and makes sure im ok. she is a good mission mom. we all love her. elder platt is not driving any more. (thank goodness) wink. no he isnt bad i guess i dont trust him behind the wheel yet. its hard to get used to someone else driving when you have driven for like six months.
so on Monday we had nothing to do besides go to this town in our area called no where Oklahoma. and the name gives it away its basically nothing at all. just a gas station and a sign and a little water tower and a house. but we took pictures and talked to the gas station attendant. it was fun and there is this lake like five miles away and i guess they catch record breaking fish there all the time. like wipers and striped bass and other fish that i cant remember the name off. they had a picture in there of a 30 lb wiper. it was freaking huge! the gas station reminded me of the green river lodge. that you used to work at. it was a good bonding time for us and our district. the car ride was about two hours, and we played all kinds of car games and told jokes. like this one there is a princess that you want to marry but you have to find out what she likes. (its kind of a riddle and kind of a joke) she likes baseball but she hates the olympics. she likes books but she hates reading, she likes harry potter, but she hates twilight. see if you can figure it out.
we have been giving the "heavenly gift" out alot. but its kind of creating a problem. because were getting a new form of investigators, there people that want to have the spirit that we bring into the home but they dont want to learn anything. its crazy. usually we get people that either dont want anything to do with us, or there interested in what we teach. but now were gettin people that are interested in us and what we bring but they dont want to learn anything. its kind of crazy because we have to explain to people why were there alot and saying that we cant visit them if they dont want to learn. well we can visit but it would be any use. so were trying to work with that. o well the Lord wants us to do this for a reason we just need to find that reason.
so i started to write down a list of every reason im out here on a mission. im up to 80 and i have been writing down 20 a day. its crazy if you think about why you want to serve the Lord, and how it can help you and how it can help other people. i should sent a copy of the list home, and you could share it with the young men or something. but i thought it would be a good idea to write down a list. not that i dont know the reasons and not that i dont want to be here, but its just a reminder of all the blessings im receiving and your receiving and the people of Oklahoma are receiving. tristan wrote me and told me to write a list down, so i did i thought it was a great idea.
on friday after district meeting we ate at this Mexican restaurant and there was this thing on the menu called the gordo burrito. (fat burrito) so we all decided to get one it was seven bucks and when they brought them out it was one at a time and they were like 2 lbs a piece. they had meat,pinto beans,black beans, five cheeses, guacamole, tomato, sour cream, onion, lettuces, chips, salsa, and smoothed in a Green Chile sauce. holy cow it was a big burrito. i took a picture of it it was so big. like man vs food, kind of big. but we pounded them. and we didnt have dinner that night because we were still so full.
you know i dont really have alot to say in this letter for some reason. you guys are doing great i love you all so much.
o i forgot could you send me another copy of my patriarchal blessing please? i lost mine and i looked every were. i think i lost it in my last area.
so have you heard form Dakota yet? is he excited to come home or is scared? is his family going to pick him up? you should record his home coming talk if you can. but if not what ever. im sure it will be great. o speaking of returned missionarys how is Brenden doing? and have you heard form zack? man i feel really bad for those kids. i hope there doing ok. if you see them tell them that i love them.
well i guess thats all for this week i love you all so much and i think you guys are doing awesome. keep up the faith. keep on the strait and narrow. and you will be just fine. lauren be good those boys can be nothing but trouble. so keep your eyes open and keep the pepper spray close. wink i know your a good girl.
so i have had the swan princess stuck in my head for like three days. that show is so awesome. the songs are really funny now that im singing them. and remember the part were hes like your beautiful! and she was like is that all the matters to you? and he is like what else is there? and his Butler guy is like err wrong.
well a de ade ade ade thats all fokes
love elder clements
