McCelebration

Elder Clark had a real McCelebration today for his 11 month mark.  I know... most of us do not think of "Celebration" and "McDonalds" in the same sentence but when your a missionary in Brazil the two go together just great!!  McDonalds there is a bit (ok, a lot) more expensive than here and it is AIR CONDITIONED!!

It was a good week for Elder Clark and Elder Goncalves.  They were able to baptise Alex and Ana Karolina.

 

We are excited and hope that the next four weeks will be a wonderful end to Elder Clark's first year..

Oh the Joy~!

Update

Well, transfers have come and gone and Elder Clark stayed in Rangel(haun-gell) but has a new companion, his name is Elder Gonçalves. Their first week together went very well.  They had a baptism and are currently teaching many others with high hopes for many more baptisms....

 

This was the baptism of Ana Fernanda.

Recently I think Elder Clark has come to understand what they mean when they say, "the best two years, but the hardest two years".  We are very proud of the way Christopher is handling the tough times as well as the times of joy. Thank you all for your continued support.  Don't forget that he will have his one year mark on the 6th of August so get those "hump day" letters ready to mail!! 

 

Turning 20

 

Elder Clark turns 20!!

Thank heaven for the Elders that made him a cake and sang him "Happy Birthday"

 

And also the sweet vendor lady who gave him "two" acaii drinks instead of one!! So Kind!

 

It may not have been a birthday as usual but despite the incredible amounts of rain and work, work, work, at least he still had a good day and a smile on his face.....

FELIZ ANIVERSARIO!!!!!!!!! ELDER CLARK

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER~!

  We are proud of the way you are serving your Father in Heaven. We miss you and we love you.

Here at home, we are wishing you a very happy birthday day in Brazil.  ENJOY~!

Love,

Mom, Dad and Justin
