Still Fishing in Fishing River



My dearest family and friends,

 I don't have a whole lot of time today, but I will try my best. Great
news!! Sister Helmbold and I are still in Fishing River! Like my cute
little cheesy subject line said, we are still fishing for the prepared
and elect! Haha I know, funny sister Clark! Haha!

This week was packed full of lots of challenges!! But challenges lead
to growth and a stronger testimony of the Savior so I'm grateful for
that. It just seemed to be one of those weeks where no one kept any
appointments and everyone in Kearney went out of town or didn't answer
the door. It's always a good joke on us when the town coordinates like
that. That's okay though because we found some other neat people we
are hoping to start teaching! We meet this man named Mark who was
sitting on his porch having a "really bad day" and was "not interested
in y'all's church." We started talking to him and he was definitely
annoyed but then we read a scripture in the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi
31:20, and there was a visible light that came through the spirit of
that verse! His heart softened and he almost even smiled a tiny bit!!
He said we could come back and teach him and so we are heading over
tomorrow. Neat little moment.

Oh and Tadem is still getting baptized this Saturday! I am so excited
for her! She is literally the cutest little thing! haha oh and last
night there was something called Presidents Devotional and thats when
recent converts can bear their testimonies and then President and
sister Vest share a little message. It's really neat! Anyways, Saleena
came and bore her testimony! she was super nervous but she did it and
she did such a phenomenal job! Her testimony is so strong and i cant
wait to see it grow even more!

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! Remember to eat lots of
turkey, or whatever food you eat on thanksgiving and eat lots of pie!
(If you don't eat pie on thanksgiving then eat pie anyways because
it's the best!) and I have to say this, but think of everything that
you are thankful for! I am definitely grateful for my Savior Jesus
Christ and His atoning sacrifice! I am grateful that we don't have to
walk alone because he will always be there walking beside us!

Sorry this email is super short, but hey it's the best I can do! I
love you all! Thank you for your continual support and prayers! Have a
great week and an even better Thanksgiving! Remember who you are and
whatever else you do don't forget... the gospel is true!

Love,
Sister Clark
