Hermana Clarke's Missionary Moments

Sandbagging for their next door neighbors during the Brownsville floods this past week. The Highlights: Flooded out of apartments---Moving to a new apartment every single day this week---Temporary Trio---Two baptisms--- She's training !---Miracles---Lots of pictures after the letter!!! ¡Hola Familia y Amigos! Wow. I don't even know what to say about these last two weeks. They have been by far the craziest two weeks of my mission, last week was so crazy that I didn't get to send a group email.

New investigators are coming out of the woodworks, and we are being led to wonderful people to teach! God has great things in store for Brownsville!  This week has been full of interesting experiences. We've especially had to focus on the gift of discernment and discerning by the Spirit as we have gone about our work this week. There are many interesting and different people we meet, all with different beliefs and stories and I enjoy experiencing it all! God truly directs His work. However, I've also learned that the adversary is also hard at work, and in order to discern that we have to he exceptionally close to the Spirit - we can't be deaf to the voices of Heaven! We went to visit a family we found this week, and the mom is a very devout Christian. She was talking with us about how...
