More baptisms!



Hey family y amigos y los que están en la misma ciudad. It's been a loco week y no puedo imagine how fast it's flown. Ever since this transfer empezó it's felt like I've been running a million miles an hour and that still isn't fast enough. We have seen some amazing blessings and miracles in the District the past few weeks and this weekend we had 3 baptisms! One of those was Mario, who has been working towards this for the past 5 months! I was blessed to be the one to baptize him so that was super cool because it was my first experience like that ever. We will have another baptism
this Wednesday and he is super excited for that! I've been sick also but that's ok, I'm doing better today so that's good. We had a wonderful opportunity to go to the temple this week. All I can say is how much a blessing it is to be able to go the temple again after so much time! It was amazing! Elder Sibaja is getting ready to go home in three weeks, so that's insane! Well that's about it... 🤔
Los amo,
Elder Clements

Run faster!



     

 Exchanges with Elder Merrill
     Well as the title suggests, we had to run this week, but it just didn't seem to matter how fast we ran, we just had to keep running faster. Meaning we were extremely busy. It was a lot of fun and we blessed a lot of the areas in the district and still had some time in our area. On Monday night until Wednesday I had Elder Merrill with me on exchanges which was a ton of fun!


     The best part of the week though was that Jose Angel got to go to the temple and do baptisms for the dead!!!! It was so amazing! We almost missed it but thank heavens President Hall came running into the waiting room telling us that Jose was already in the water haha. We made it and it was great. After we were done and talking to Jose he told us how much he loved and how strong the spirit was in the temple. He said he looks forward to coming again. Other than that, we have some great people working to be baptized and so we will see where that goes. The Lord is on our side and He knows exactly what he is doing, sometimes it takes us a second to realize it though.
Los amo,

Just a normal P-Day

Oh...hey Korihor

   

     Well somehow another week has slipped away without me realizing it. We had an interesting week, a very good week, but still an interesting one. I'll go ahead and tell my story now while my mind is fresh this morning. On Tuesday Elder Sibaja and I talked to this one guy.  After some words exchanged we found out that he was an anti-Christ. I've never talked to someone that could talk so smoothly as this man. It was actually really cool because when I shared my testimony with him I could feel just a ton of love for him. If you want a more detailed description of what he had to say look up Alma 30:12-17. Other than that M*** is progressing well and still looking for an answer. We have some new investigators this week and so we are looking forward to working with them. Transfers are this week so we will see but I have NO idea what could happen. Until then...
Love,
Elder Clements
P.S. We were right next to a shoot out yesterday while driving with an investigator. It was crazy.

Baptism



     Jose finally got baptized!!!!! I could just end my email there and call it good! But... I've been up since 5 so I might as well use my time to make mom happy. It's been a very good week here in the wonderful H2 N area, speaking Spanish, getting cussed out, seeing a dear friend receive the first ordinances of salvation, meeting the Muppets, and all of this to bring souls unto Christ. Jose's baptism was stinking awesome (lit((with the Spirit)), sick, tight, live, stellar, and any other way of saying awesome)! We had a ton of people from the ward show up to support him and it all went well except a few minor errors in the program, which was my fault. The best part was on Sunday when he was confirmed. Elder Sibaja did the conformation and it was super spiritual and uplifting. Jose gave a big "thank you" for helping him on this path, and giving him some push. I'm so thankful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and know He lives! The blessings of the priesthood have been restored and we have the wonderful opportunity to access them!
Love,
Elder Clements
