Pray until you have Faith

Sorry I don't think I will be sending any pics for the rest of the mission. I am too scared to loose all of my stuff...I lost all of my videos and lots of my pics last week... I am super sad. But hey, the Lord knows why.
Thank you for your prayers mom. Last Saturday we were finally able to find his house. But only his wife was there. Please pray for them. Jorge Lopez and Vanessa. I want to help them so bad. I have high hopes for them really. We have a lesson with them at 6 tonight. I hope they are there and that they can feel the spirit.
I was going over how everything happened this morning and how blessed I was to come here. And how I found him and how crazy it is haha. But really I hope and pray that they can feel the spirit and make those changes in their lives. It was so relieving to find them.
We are working with some great people, first Edgar Vasquez, he is my favorite. He really has a special spirit to him, when he was born part on his right arm and leg and mouth came out weird or something.. so he doesn't speak too well, but his is 22 yrs old and is really smart and we have the wonderful blessing to baptize him this Saturday, we are super excited! I love him so much. He's not special, he just has some physical problems, but he is super cool I love him so much. His sister is a recent convert, she is great. Leydi is her name.
My area is huge. just huge, you should look it up?
Do you know it Uncle Ben spoke with his convert from Peru Carlos??
And do you know if I am in his area? In his last area?

So I was reading something that I really liked in Helaman 5.40-42,47 where it talks about receiving faith. I have always looked for that. And there it was , to pray UNTIL you have faith. I love that.

I have just been flying throught the Book of Mormon. It's awesome. I cant wait for Mother's day to hear all of your questions and to see your beautiful faces haha..
Love

Villa Maria

So there is a lot to be said.

First it was really hard to leave...especially both of my pensionistas, who were like my mother to me, really they were so loving. They were so kind and fun. So that was the hardest to leave them, Sister Lupe and Sister Rocio, along with them it was hard to leave the Ascona family, the family we rescued.. wow that was super hard as well.

We had a get together before I left Monday morning. So on Sunday night, and wow, it was fun, but super sad, with tears and all haha, but it was great to see them, and all their love they had for me and their love for God.


But wow, it was such a miracle to help everyone get to the temple. Lupe went with Rocio, they are like best friends. So that was super amazing. They went with all of her daughters as well.  And we took the Ascona family as well, it was their first time for all of them. It was super amazing. A great experience for them.
We also did a huge service with Carlos, I got to work with him from 10 till 4 pm in the afternoon haha, putting down this ceiling of cement. That was super tiring haha, but it was great to be with his family. He said he was going to call Uncle Ben the next day being last Friday.
However, I did get transfered, and now I am back in Lima, in Villa Maria. I heard that Ben when back to Lima to finish his mission??
My new comp is Elder Morales, he is awesome. He was friends with Elder Llontop. They are both from the same stake in Chiclayo. Super crazy haha. And we are inthe same zone.

But the crazy story to all this was, that a while back I had a dream that I came here to this zone in Villa Maria. And so all week last week, I was saying that I was coming here haha. But even better the story gets.. haha. I don't know if you remember when I was with Elder Sejas about a while back and we went to the hospital and we took a taxi and I contacted this guy and it was super insane how we got lost and by the Lord's will we were super lost and far away, we took his taxi and I gave him a Book of Mormon and he was super interested, I figured out last night that he is in my area!!! We haven't gone to his house yet, but soon we will.
there is more to be said. But I am super excited to be here.
And time is flying.. wow.. I miss you guys and cant wait to see you soon!!!
I love you so much!
Etder Clark

No church on Sunday?

This week was funny, I thought yesterday was Monday. haha..
We didn't go to church yesterday haha. That may sound just super crazy!! haha
Because of the elections yesterday, nobody can have a meeting, even in the church! haha
Things are getting better, we have plans to get 9 people to the temple.
Rocio and her daughters and German and Jose and Julia and Cesar, some we are rescuing, this is really the best thing!! We are so haapppy!!! It really never happens, it's really hard to do. I've never done it haha!!
We found a new family again this week. Jorgez and Milta, they are super evangelist. They pray super loud, and it makes me want to say hallelujah!! haha, it's so funny and fun!! I love it haha
They are super interesting. They live super far away, it really was a miracle, it took us an hour to find them haha..
I love you mom,

April 2016 General Conference

Julia had her baby!
This conference, was my fav. really it was so great. I was thinking of you guys the whole time!! I miss biscuits and gravy haha!! All I had was some crackers haha. But we all got the same message. It was wonderful, really, to hear the prophet with his powerful messages. Elder Uchtdorf's talks this conference were my favorite, along with Elder Holland, like always.  I loved them so much. There is never a time when I don't think of you guys! I think of you guys so much, really.
I feel of your prayers.

Mom what can I do for you?

Dad what can I do for you guys?
I hope there is something I can do, really I want to help. I hope I am not a pain every week, lacking all the details I forget when I come to write you guys haha. I am sorry about that haha.
I want to buy Rocio something for her birthday. They never have gone to the movies and I want to spoil them. Haha because they have nothing. like nothing. So it would be great if you could put more money in the card, I am sorry for asking. I feel bad...sorry.
My favorite quote from conference was:
We get credit for trying, even if we don't succeed.

This is grace, this is his love. He loves us, and the least we could do for him is show that love we have for Him.

elder ciark
