So We are working with this lady named Shauna* and she has two daughters, 12 and 16. The youngest came to church and loved it! She wants to come back every Sunday. They need to go on date and this morning I was reading 2 Ne 9 and came to the perfect verses to resolve her concerns help her gain more faith, and commit for a day! I hope that the Lord helps us do that.
I was sweaty after playing soccer and basketball with the zone and these guys drove up beside our car and hit on us. So funny! I guess the glow of the spirit shines through grungy yuck! heheh love you!

I am so touched by the spirit as you share your diligence in studying the Book of Mormon, attending the temple, and growing. I know the Lord is guiding you as he is guiding me. I am so grateful the Lord sent us the Book of Mormon. Those who have the faith to accept it, will benefit from the hand of the Lord, giving them a scripture like that. Right when they need it. Truly the Book of Mormon is better than the Bible. While the Bible contains so much history, the Book of Mormon was written AND edited by a prophet, and then the Lord translated it! :) what an amazing thing! I love you:)
We are going CRAZY with giving away Books of Mormon. We have given away 20 in 2 days!! We have plans to go back and visit everyone who accepted a copy. I love giving away this book. I handle it like it is gold when I give it to them, and they sense the power and sacredness of the record. I honor the Lord for making me into His instrument! What a joy it is to spread the fullness of what we have.
The Franks* family has decided that the Book of Mormon is definitely not true. It was very sad to hear it over the phone from them. But we know we did everything we could. We love them so much and always will but the Lord has something else planned for them. It is very comforting to know that just because something doesn't happen on our time table, doesn't mean that its a lost cause. This is the Lord’s work and HE is in control. The light of Christ influences people to prepare for receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. CHRIST is the source of that light. It is HIM that we are publishing and it is HIS work. Nothing that happens will make me loose my peace.
The morning of the day the Franks* didn't show up to church, wouldn't talk to us at the door, and finally called us back and told us what was going on-I had read the Gospel accounts of the last moments of the Saviors life. Satan tore through the hearts of the children of men, Christ’s brothers whom he loved. He moved them to mock the sacred symbols of His Sacrifice for them. The Deceiver was destroying their path out of death and hell, ultimately pulling at the heart strings of our Lord. "But Jesus held his peace."

I know that the love he posses is unlimited and independent of that sphere in which God placed it. I know He was the Son of God. He had both mortal and immortal capacities and He went on the receive the Fullness of His Father. I humbly commit to follow him on this path. It is the path with all the answers. This is the way that has a lifetime guarantee. I would that I may always look to the great Mediator of all men and hearken unto his great commandments and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life according to the will of his Holy Spirit. Choose to keep the Spirit. Hold your peace and be filled with His. I know this things to be true for the Lord of Heaven and Earth has taught them to me. I love him. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Love Sister Clendnening
