This week was really good. Some good stuff is happening here, and we have gotten so close to finding a bunch of people but they just are never home when we go by. I think I was because we had a long weekend so people went out of town. Merritt is pretty central to everything, an hour from Kamloops, an hour and a half from Kelowna, and almost 2 hours from Abbotsford (which makes about 3 hours to Vancouver). But it was a pretty good Family Day. BC has theirs a week before the rest of Canada, so it's a bit odd.
This week we also had Zone Conference! It was another really good meeting. We did a musical number for it, and afterwards a member made Butter Chicken for everyone! So good. If you guys get a chance for Indian food, take it. But I thought it was interesting how President Wong almost always talks about the same things every time, which are 1) Faith 2)Member work 3)Finding 4)Having fun 5)The Book of Mormon. It was really good and I learned a lot. I felt like our zone was really prepared and we got a lot out of it! It felt like he was able to teach us more this time because we were actually ready. He showed us a video of the New Years Eve firework show in Hong Kong. During the dinner, I told him about Idaho Falls' firework show and he was pretty impressed(;
Pretty awesome about the Olympics! Go USA! Go Canada! Zoey looks awesome. You should have gotten her a Pink Ladies jacket or something(; Also, Baron's project is super cool! Better to almost burn the house down than to sit in his room all day playing video games and not accomplish anything (which is what I did at that age).
Nice experience! I'm just proud that you are listening to your scriptures! But so awesome how you were able to help her out. I had a similar experience with an investigator who was super prepared, but her common-law husband didn't really want to get married, so she couldn't get baptized as a result. But she was grieving the loss of her uncle or dad or something and the preacher was talking about how if he wasn't baptized he couldn't return to God. She was really upset because her relative always had great faith and was a really good guy, just never too religious. We shared with her Alma 40 and she was really comforted. The Book of Mormon answers the questions of our soul!
Well have a good week!
Love, Elder Clark
