Hermana Clarke's Missionary Moments

60-second recap: Stressful week as they adjust to being in a trio and assuming new responsibilities. There is less time to work in her area of Edinburg, and Rachelle worries about that. Her favorite part of her new assignment is the ability to go on exchanges with the other sisters. She says it is like ministering one-on-one. Jessica Robles and her four children (pictured below) are still working toward baptism, but struggled with smoking two cigarettes this past week when her house was flooded out and she needed to cope. Lots of trials coming her way. Please pray for her and her family. Add caption

It's been a little bit since we've had an update from Hermana Clarke about her mission. Let me see if I can catch you up on all that has transpired over the past few weeks. A Sister Missionary's Love I believe these may be some of Jessica #2's seven children. Transfers were today, and Rachelle was expecting to go to another area for her last 12 weeks since she has been in Edinburg for 6 months already--the max amount of time that Sisters are typically allowed to serve in a single area. BUT, President Torres felt that Hermana Clarke should stay in Edinburg until the end of her mission, which means that she will be in Edinburg for 9 months straight. How does she feel about that? She is overjoyed! She did NOT want to leave the area or her companion, Sister Drury. This also means that she will get to be with Sister Drury for her last 12 weeks--something she was really hoping for! They are so excited to stay together. ALSO, both Hermana Drury and Hermana Clarke h...
