Hola Familia y Amigos!

These last two weeks have been wonderful. We have seen lots of progress and miracles in our area, and I am so grateful for that! Yesterday, we were privileged to have a visit from Elder Peiper and Elder McKay of the 70. They are doing a mission tour here in the Texas McAllen mission, and yesterday we had a conference. It was a wonderful and incredible experience to be taught by special witnesses of Christ! I learned so much.

The last two weeks the work has been progressing wonderfully! We are working really hard in our area and I am absolutely LOVING serving Spanish! We only have one week left in this transfer, and so we want to finish strong! We have been working hard on making sure we never ever go home without talking to at least 10 people every single day. Many times we come home having talked to 20, sometimes over 30 people! And God is really blessing us for that. We have a few baptismal dates set for this month which we are really excited about and have been blessed with some incredible people to teach. This zone all together has 36 baptismal dates set for the month, so we are heading for breaking that watermark!!! We are so excited to be seeing a few of the fruits of our labors. We have been working hard, and I am learning the importance of miracles coming by faith - every single time we talk to someone we show faith. When we show God our faith, faith combined with DILIGENCE is what brings miracles. 

My companion is doing amazing! She is ending her first transfer in the mission field and I am so proud of the progress she is making. I'm loving learning from her and having this opportunity to never lose that GREENIE FIRE!!!

All is well in Zion! Missions=miracles!

All my love, 

Hermana Clarke
