Elder Clark

HAPPY NEW YEAR~!
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and wish you health and happiness in the New Year. 
The holidays for us were only missing one thing.........Christopher.  It was a strange thing not having him here with us.  We did get to talk to him on Christmas day and it was AWESOME!!  He is speaking Portuguese very well and had trouble with his English words! We got to talk to him for about an hour and a half.  He is loving everything about his mission service and had a wonderful first Christmas away from home thanks to the wonderful people of Brazil.  Here are a few pictures of his first Christmas in the mission field.
 
 
 
  
  
  
Elder Clark has been out for 5 months and he says it is going by quickly (most days).  I hope to be able to say that one day as right now it seems he has been gone for a very long time and we miss him daily...
It is such a blessing that he is well and finding joy in serving the Lord.  He tells us that he is aware of his daily blessings from his Heavenly Father and loves what he is doing.. Thanks for all of your love and support of Elder Clark.

That was awesome!! He looks and sounds like he is doing really great! I love the gifts they got "spoiled" with from home and I'm glad you got a chance to talk for a while. I heard you made a very short trip up here. Hope you had a Merry Christmas yourselves! Love ya!

What wonderful memories Chris is making in the mission field! I am not looking forward to being without one of mine over the holidays, but while on a mission I know they will be gaining great life experience and memories.

Hope you had a nice Christmas even if your missionary was gone!
