Temple

I was able to go to the temple this week. It was wonderful.  There is nothing better then going to the temple and feeling the peace there.  

I took some pictures of the flowers there and some reference pictures for the chalk drawing we did later this week.  It kinda got whitewashed in the pictures, but I did a lot of shading in the drawing.  I'm glad Sister Welch thought of this. It's a good way to use my talents to share the gosple.   

The moth picture was at the Elders' apartment: we ran out of butter.

Our mourning schedule is wake up and do exercises, normally that's me teaching karate.  Then we get ready for the day, then do studies.  After that we go to appointments, do service, drop in on people, contact referrals, and go trackting. For service we're usually at a thrift store called Close less Travailed.  The person in charge of linens has a friend who's a member and we helper sort, fold, and label things while  answering any questions she has.  The other thing we've been doing for service is helping a member that just moved in unpack and get everything organized.  

This week and last week everyone has been out of town for the last week of summer vacation.  We have two backups for everyone we plan to see and we've still had to look at our roster to see who's close to where we're at.  School's starting again so this week should be better in that regard.  If we have a dinner appointment we eat around six.  If not we eat at eight. The elder who wrote the dinner calendar for this month has Monday at the beginning of the week instead of Sunday.  So far we've only found one person that signed up on the wrong day.  We call and remind people a couple days in advance, so it shouldn't be problematic.  

On Fridays we have district call, which  is when we get on a conference call with the district and talk about miracles we've had how everyone's doing.  Tuesdays we have district meeting (unless it's zone conference like this week) where the district meets up and we have someone give a training, witch is just like a lesson, but about missionary work. We talk about how things are doing in our area and pick a topic for next weeks training.  Fast Sundays we text in up to three names or families and have a mission call were Sister Foote reads the names and we have a mission fast for them.

Love, Sister Clark
