I work so hard everyday. everyday flys quicker and quicker everyday... I just hope that everyday I am doing what the savior would do if he were here in Peru- I feel his love for the people , even if there is pure apostasy everywhere haha. I need to raise up to his level of love! I wish I had that love.

I love you mom! I hope everything is going well!

elder clarç

I found minano!
he wouldnt stop talking bout uncle Ben hah.

Ben sent me his name with some other names that I am trying to find right now. haha it's super cool. I found some people that remember him and were super happy to see him and his family. I carry his pictures around everywhere in my scriptures to show people

I love the things that you learned this week too! kinda the same as mine haha.
I have learned lots about the love of christ and how to react to things that are just completly dumb haha.
I cannot really tell you the whole story,  but I learned a lot to have patience, love, & calmness.

A cool bug!

Chorrillos Beach

you got to show him this picture and have Ben traslate it. its too funny haha

I found one of his converts I think or it may just be another guy with the same name and same age and all haha

my pal elder frazier who I met on the plane flying to Mexico from AZ is in my zone haha *contrary to what the picture shows-they are happy to see each other again!

Here's a picture of when they met 1 year ago.

Time is flying, and I know once I hit my year mark.. it will get 
worse, and fly by even more haha.. but in some aspect it's good, then I 
can see you guys quicker, it's like when you want Christmas to come , 
you got to go to bed quicker so that Christmas can come faster- haha. 

We are teaching lots of families. which is always just the best and so very exciting!

This week was a bit crazy, as the Amercia cup was on. it's like the soccer chip 
for all of the south america. it was crazy, we couldn't teach people 
cuz they were watching the game. 
we have found some pretty cool less actives who want to change. It is 
very interesting to work with them and sometimes see their point of 
view, or put yourself in their shoes. 
I'm super sad cuz I couldn't send you the pictures.. I got this nasty 
bug on my memory.. the computers don't work.
but just know that we are working hard, I am looking for people that 
knew Ben all over the place haha. but we are going to go to the beach 
today. it should be fun. 
 
its so funny how I always wait for that moment when I can just master 
everything that I am trying to do at once, or waiting for that moment 
when I can just feel like I got it all down,, but the lord is good and 
making you not be able to feel that way haha, or things would just be 
too easy, hes got to stretch us so that we can improve!

Just know that we are doing great, and everything is fine, just let me 
know if there is anything you would like me to do for you guys. 
I love you so much mom. I hope you feel it in my words. it's so true, 
Those videos we watched, I will do the same, maybe even more drastic 
haha, even though I promised not to haha. I love our family so 
much. I hope that you guys had a good fourth of July!

 Dad, I wish you a happy birthday!  Noah you are just too great, there are too 
many words to say good about you haha. 
 
i love you all! i love you MOMDADNOAH! 
 
LOVE ELDER CLARK 

*Last week he sent this picture asking Ben if he knew this family. (Ben is his uncle who served in the same area on his mission 15 years ago)

Goodbye President Douglas

Mom, I hope everything goes well, wish I was there on the vacation. looks like so much fun! I am jealous haha.

We get a new misison president today, it was very sad, but it's something new, we have been able to do great things this week, one of them being bitten by a dog, haha,no we have been teaching lots of families, we are working with lots, we had about 4 in the church yesterday! it was super cool, the grace of God is great, and his tender mercies are brought unto those who have great faith.

i love you mom, i am sorry its short, we had lots of computer problems today.

Dog bite

A week of learning

Wow, what a week of just pure learning!

Dad I hope that you had a great father's day!

This week we were given a promise of 10 new investigators, sadly we only found 7... but yesterday was a day of seeing the Lord's hand, and how He is preparing his children to listen to the truth.

as we were walking, we saw a family,(we always contact families in the street, all of them!) and the father was caring a bag of stuff, and we wanted to offer him some help to him. but he didn't want us to he said haha, but we insisted and then he allowed us to help him carry this bag up this huge hill, where all of Chorrillos can be seen! it was so pretty! well on the walk we just had a normal natural conversation, as we reached the top of the hill and to his house he allowed us to go into his house! it was so great! this family was prepared, very attentive and ready to receive the message that we had for him, the spirit was there.

I know there are people ready out there! we just need to be like Christ and offer service to all we can! now I don't know if he will be baptized, you really never know haha, but I do know that he needed to listen to the lord's message to him and his family at that time, because I know that we followed the spirit !

we need to be examples of the believers!

we were able to find 2 new families in one day! 5 childern of the lord in one day.

Now imagine if every member in world at least brought one alma unto the Lord once a week! wow, we need to save our lost children and even those who have entered in and have fallen off the path.

They are the lost sheep who have forgotten that someone has died for there sins. they have forgotten, now we need to always REMEMBER!

elder C7ark

We got to see the dedication of the Trujillo temple yesterday & we got to see the cultural celebration too!

It was so cool!

Goodbye Ayacucho

out of ayacucho...

very sad to leave Ayacucho..

it was very tough.. I miss it so much haha.

But now that I am in Chorrillos, I can start somthing new, I am very excited to be able to be a district leader. I am in the area of San Genaro, and my new companion is Elder Soto, he is great, well I can't say anything yet .. I guess.. just pray for me mom, I think it will be a rough one.. I need your prayers, I know you are praying for me! but I know that I will need them even more!

 I had such a fun transfer with my first son. It was hard to leave him, haha. but I hope that the lord can do great things with me . and I am starting something brand new, the area is big, struggling, and my comp doesn't know the area either, he is new as well.  But I know that I am here for a reason, I don't know why, but the lord knows! I am so proud of Noah and his progression as a son of God, I am so proud of the family! I just hope I can reach that level you guys are at and work as hard as you guys are working! I miss you guys but it only helps me work with more love for my Savior! I know this is the way we show our love for him, as we work with determination to find his childern that are lost, they are out there. We need to take a shot, or they will never know, or even have the chance to listen. We are HIS HANDS, we are his CHILDREN.
I know it and I know He loves us and just wants to bless us!
Elder Cl8rk

Well Mom, everything has been super great!

This week we were able to find more choosen children of God. We have seen the tender mercies of the Lord, as we recieved a refferal from someone, and as I wrote it down, I guess I wrote it down wrong and we were able to find a family by going to the wrong the house, however, we were able to find the other guy yesterday. The tender mercies are able to come and be given through the faith we have, like nefi says in his first chapter and 20th verse. And another great thing is that I have grown like 2 inches! I am super pumped! It was like a I had a new vision on everything! haha

But we are doing great, the Lord has really blessed us this week, we have this great family we are working with, the dad is a less active and the wife is an investigator,and wow are these lessons powerful! They listen with their spiritual ears! It is so great! The 4th should be a great day for them! haha.

I love you mom! I am so proud of you and what you are doing! You are the greatest mother anyone could ask for! I love you so much.
