Well howdy everyone. I was talking to dad today and I was like Idk how to make another fire email this week because I did not do anything crazy, but here we go.
The week went by slow and fast. Every other day was exciting. Monday was just a boring class, playing basketball, and going to sleep. On Tuesday I got to go out to eat for mothers birthday, which was pretty epic. On Tuesday we planned my flight out to Utah which was also pretty cool. I am stoked to go up and mix it up because everyday from 11:30-1:30 I sit around, FT some of you guys, and take a quick cat nap (I of course do personal reading too). I am glad I get to see my companion and basically my whole district because who doesn't live in Utah.
Another highlight of my week is going on my district call at 7pm everyday. I am in charge of it, so I gotta take one for the team and do it. From what I have heard, most of the elders and sisters look forward to talking to each other every night. Elder Jorgensen, Elder Moore, and I are like a lowkey power trio. We have a group chat and we always message each other. I love both of these elders very much. Elder Jorgensen and I message each other on our computers during the meeting while we are bored. I know it is sometimes distracting, but sometimes it is needed for a talkative person like me. When we two are in breakout rooms and during our comp study, we both lose our patients after about an hour so we just chat it up. Us two know each other so well, homie could probably be brooki. I'm just kidding brooklyn, no one could replace you;).
Funny story happened while I was in Brother Dewberry's class. As a joke I pulled up clash of clans while I was in a breakout room with some of the elders. I didn't play it, I just pulled it up to show my sick base. Brother Dewberry joined in and was like "elder clouse, elder clouse, why is clash of clans showing (lowkey laughing)." I asked him if he ever played and he did lol, so we were all chilling from there. I love bro dewberry, I can joke with him a lot. He said he reminded me of one of his close buddies, so I guess you can say I am in.
I popped my rib out of place while playing ball with Weston. No worries it was not a huge pop out, just a subtle one. It just was a sharp pain in my back, so mom being the queen that she is, took me to the chiropractor office and had me fixed up. I am back balling up in basketball and playing golf like Tiger Woods.
Now it is the time that most people skip over except mom and dad. The spiritual thought. Elder Christensen was sharing a verse and his testimony on Wednesday that really stuck out to me. Alma 26:37 starts off with,"Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth." During class I was all jittery because it was a Book of Mormon study/share and people in my district know this is not my favorite part of class. But when Elder Christensen started speaking I stopped and I started to listen more intently. He went to then speak on how God knows each one of us and loves us. This thought he shared was so small, yet so powerful. I can testify to all of you that God loves each and every one of you. He is always listening. Turn to Him.
Love, Elder Clouse
Elder Jorgensen and Elder Gray had some near perfect timing.
This is when I was selected to be a "Karen" during a Judge Judy themed lesson. I was in charge of bringing questions about faith to stump the other "jurors" (missionaries) on the stand.
