Liberty Hospital Miracle

My dearest family and friends!

Wow WHAT A WEEK! I mean I'll probably say that every time, but it was
quite and eventful one! We are SUPER busy here in the Fishing River
ward (Celestial Kingdom) we had like at least 5 lessons a day with a
different either less active or investigator! So it's super crazy but
super amazing!!! Something that I love about our bishop is that he is
trying to get all of the members in the ward to think differently. He
said instead of thinking I need to go to the grocery store, and maybe
if someone comes along I'll share the gospel, instead think I'm going
to the store to be a missionary and grab some eggs while I'm at it!
How cool is that?! It makes you have to act and do! This ward is huge
in "Just doing it". They aren't just talkers they are for sure
walkers. It's awesome! They are super involved with missionary work!
We had 7 members present this week with lessons! That is HUGE!! The
ward is the best! I feel so blessed to be able to serve here my very
first area! I love it more than I can describe!

I love Missouri! It is absolutely gorgeous!! The fall is oh my

goodness to die for here! The leaves are gorgeous and the sunsets! On
my goodness! I love love love it so much!!!!

A lot has happened this week but the biggest thing was I was in the

E.R. this week! It turned into a two night stay! It wasn't me though,
it was for my companion. So here's the story........ On Thursday we
were in a lesson with one of our investigators Chloe and towards the
end I kind of noticed that Sister Helmbold wasn't comfortable,
something was bothering her! Well we ended the lesson and said goodbye
to Chloe and the member that was with us August and then Sister
Helmbold looked at me and was like Sister I need to go to the
bathroom.. Well we were in there for a solid 10-15 minutes.. She felt
like she had to throw up,well it never happened. And she was in A LOT
of pain in her lower right side in her stomach. I was so worried and
had no idea what to do. We were at the church by the way! So we went
home she was like in tears I was terrified! I was calling everyone to
know what we need to do. I got ahold of our nurse and she said she
thinks it could be her appendix. Well we called a member Sister
Roberts and she came and took us to the hospital. So long story short
they did a ton of tests, like a cat scan, ultra sound, blood work
etc..... It was crazy! The doctor came in and was like it could be two
things, and ovarian cyst or her appendix. They weren't for sure even
after all of those tests.. Well they decided that they were going to
admit her to the hospital. Sister Vest came out to the hospital and
just spent some time with us. The member sister Roberts stayed there
the entire time too! Super sweet! Anyways so we had the opportunity to
have a slumber party at the hospital! PARTY!! I got to sleep in a
chair!!! Yeah not much sleep..... Haha anyway so in the morning the
doctor came in and was like I don't think it's your appendix, but we
aren't positive on what it is. So we are going to watch you today and
you might be able to go home this afternoon if everything goes well.
We were like okay deal! So we just had a party in the room. Sister
Helmbold took a lot of naps which was super good! I read the entire
book of 2 Nephi which was amazing!!! Haha I had a lot of time on my
hands! We had lots of visitors which was super fun! President and
Sister a Vest came by and forced her to eat! That was funny! I love
President and Sister vest they are super sweet! Sister Roberts brought
me lots of food! She was literally like my mom! I loved it! She's our
mission mom for sure! Anyways so the day passed and the doctor never
came!! We were waiting and waiting and waiting... Well we kept asking
the nurses when they were going to let her go home. She was still in
pain even with the medication. I felt so bad for her!!! My heart was
breaking for her! Anyways so later that night we had some other sister
missionaries in the area come and visit! Sister Morgan and Sister
Baggett! I love them! Oh back up a little, so we were trying to share
the gospel with everyone at the hospital. Sister Helmbold kept on
saying we aren't here for my stomach we are here to share the gospel,
so we were praying to find that opportunity! Anyways so shortly after
the Sisters came Sister Helmbolds new nurse for the night walked in.
She was like I knew when I first saw you that you were a missionary
from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints. You brought the
spirit and I knew you were from God! We talked to her and she said
that the missionaries have found her everywhere she has went. She's
from Tansania and they were there too! We then explained how there is
a reason Heavenly Father has sent you all of these sister
missionaries. We gave her some scriptures to read and crazy thing is
is that she is in Sister Morgan's and Sister Baggetts area! They got
ahold of her and they are meeting with her on Wednesday! The spirit
was seriously SOOO strong in that room! After she left we were just
freaking out about the super cool experience that just happened. And
then Sister Helmbold sat up with tears in her eyes and said, my pain
is gone! I don't feel anymore pain! Then the next day she was able to
go home with NO pain medication! God is SO aware of us at all times!
It was a miracle! I am so grateful for that opportunity!

Wow this is super long.... Sorry...... Hahah I love being able to see
the little miracles that happen everyday! I love this gospel and the
joy it brings to me! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able
to testify of my Savior everyday!!! I love you all!!! Have a great
week! Remember who you are and whatever else you do don't forget....
The gospel is true!!!

Love Sister Clark
P.s. Most of these pictures are of us in the hospital, but the one
with the cute girls is when we went to the Liberty jail last night
with one of our investigators who is SUPER close to picking a baptism
date! She is right in the middle! Her name is Tadem!! I love her so
much!!!
