Hello my fellow mates!
Sounds like you are all adjusting to school / work life okay!
I am glad to hear you are doing well! YAY! No...bumps or wounds! It was so great to get your letters!!
This week was so good! Boy oh boy! Lots of rain, humidity,
and storms! I love Indiana storms! They come quick too...!! We were out tracking
one day and it looked like it was going to rain but, we kept knocking and 5
minutes later we were literally soaked! haha!! If you don't like the
weather...wait 15 minutes! If anyone was watching us they would have wondered
what was wrong because we were laughing and having the best time ever in the
rain! (but it made some room for people to feel bad for us so they let us in...
:) haha - so sneaky!
Funny story- we are officially giving too many church tours!
haha!! Sister Evans told me one morning that while I was sleeping gave the
entire church tour in my sleep! haha!! (I do the weirdest things in my sleep I
have decided!) Nevertheless those things are inspired and so incredible! :)
Well, Ed is doing so good! He moved his Date to October 18th
because his girlfriend is going to be out of town. We tried so hard to convince
him otherwise but, I was quickly reminded to look at the eternal perspective of
things and be grateful we have someone working towards baptism!! :)
Dennis has a baptismal date! We committed him to live the Word of Wisdom and he is slowly but, surely getting there! We had the neatest
experience with him on Saturday. He called and asked for a priesthood blessing. We called the Elders and they so willingly came over. As the Elders asked what
Dennis wanted a blessing for he asked if he could have some direction and
strength as he decides to change his life. His humility was so touching to me
and I will never forget that blessing that was given that day. The spirit was
strong and the words said were truly from our Father in Heaven. I am so
thankful for the humility Dennis had ....and the Priesthood that has been restored on this earth! I know Dennis is close to receiving his answer because he desires to know
so badly!!!
This week has been so humbling for me ...because of other
peoples humility! Between Dennis asking for a blessing... to a less active (who
has nothing) paying her tithing. I am so thankful to be part of this work to
watch God work through these people and truly change them. There is no greater
calling and work then getting front row seats to the greatest application of
the Atonement. It is a miracle!! These people are turning to their Savior! How
blessed I feel and how thankful I will always be.
Heavenly Father knows us. 3 Nephi 13:32-33 He knows how to
change us into people that he know we can become. Our potential is limitless
and the opportunity we have to tap into the Atonement is boundless. Jesus
Christ can give us strength when we feel like we have nothing. He can make us
strong even with all of our imperfections. He is the only way. I know that this restored
gospel is the only way to lasting happiness!! This is the only way!
I love you all! You are all an inspiration to me and I thank
my Heavenly Father for you every moment of everyday! Have a great week and
become better then you were yesterday....because you can-- through Him!!!
Love,
Sister Clegg the 3rd
Ps. Tim (Investigators that we taught in Westfield) is getting

duck and get to go to the baptism! Plus...go back to Westfield and see
everyone! I am so excited!!! YAY! Love you all!
