Hi
so. yep life its a pain in the butt. there are alot of ups and downs in this world. sounds like your in an up. or at least you only tell me the ups. so Lauren your running for officer huh? that's exciting! i hope you win. id vote for you. did you tell them "if you vote for me all your wildest dreams will come true"? what did your poster look like? and who is your favorite teacher at the school?
So did you end up buying a house? how big of house are you looking for? and are you buying an old house or a new one? are you going to have to remodel it and buy the furniture and stuff? do you remember when we helped with Todd and Kim's house? that was fun.
well this week has been crazy!
Monday was zone pday. were the whole zone gets together and does something. so we went up to Lawton which is about an hour away. and half the people didn't even show up. i was kind of mad. because we drove all that way and used all those miles and nobody showed up. but it was fun at the end we ended up playing kick ball with the sisters and zone leaders.
the rest of the week has been a trip. holy cow i have never had a less successful week in my entire mission. in theory it was supposed to be one of the best. we had 13 member presents lined up for the week. we had dinners, people coming out with us. all kind of appointments. and they all fell through. i cant believe it. i guess its just one of those weeks. if there is opposition in all things this week is going to rock! but i have never tryed so many people and had so many people not be home, not want to meet that day, not interested anymore. or not willing to commit.
we had a member come with us every day this week. but we only ended up teaching three lessons. but whatever the word is true the book is blue. everybody has there off days.
we have a new district leader. his name is elder nelson. it funny because i worked with him at dicks market. he was a cashier. and i saw him at least twice a week. we have four people from Davis county in our district. so like there friends know my friends. were kind of like friend in law's. but we all went to different high schools. but so far he seems like a really good leader. cares about his district and what they think and what they want. he called us up four times this week. which is more calls than i got form my last district leader the whole transfer.
lets see what else happened this week. o elder Burnett has lost about 15 pounds since he has been with me. we work out every day and bike all over the place. he is really excited, at the very first he couldn't do three push ups. now he is on sets of 30. and can bench 180 pounds. me i gained 5 pounds i can now bench 235. and my arms went from 13.5 inches around to 15 inches. (not that i measure)
on Saturday we had an appointment with a family. they forgot that we were coming over. so when we showed up they were having a birthday party. for there five year old. they told us to sit down and eat. it was so crazy. were just teaching them and they treated us like family. gave us cake and ice cream. made us food. talked with us as if they knew us all of there lives. and told us that they would come to church. i think it was just one of the tender mercys of the lord. because we biked 28 miles that day. didn't have a dinner appointment. and nothing was working. but then they let us in and fed us. it was awesome!
o and on Saturday morning we had an appointment with this guy. he told us to come in the morning. so as we were going out. it started to sprinkle. so we got our rain coats, but as we got away form the apartment it just started to pour. like flash flood kind of rain. just super hard for like 30 min. we were all ready to far to turn around so we just biked there. by the time we got there i was so wet it felt like i went swimming. my scriptures were the only thing that didn't get drenched. everything else was super soaking. and then guess who forgot about the appointment. (some times i hate agency jk)
but that's pretty much it for this week. sorry this is a short email.
i didn't get the DVD yet but maybe it will come today.
i love you all so much thank you for your love and your support. YOUR THE BEST.
love your favorite missionary
Elder Clements
