We met the Hills :)

I'm glad you got to meet the Hills. They are good people! I really love them!

My week has been really good, i dont have much time though so I'll say more next week.
Far Right - Pres. Benson




(TYLER'S RESPONSE TO MY SAYING I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO NOT WORRY NEARLY AS MUCH AS I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE)

I'm really glad you've felt that blessing. And your absolutely right, even if the doc wanted to send me home I wouldn't go. I've got work to do and I'm gonna finish it, even if it finishes me in the process! haha I honestly havn't hid that much from you. A mission is hard, that's all there is to it. No use worrying.

I love you momma. I want to give you some homework. Read from Mosiah 4, and Ether 12. They both are about faith. Im come to realize faith and stress have a big relation to one another.

Drunk People and Scary Car Crashes

My week has been good. Erdenet is pretty warm so I'm lucky. We just had transfers. I got two new companions. One is a new missionary only been out three months, and one is the deaf companion I had a couple of months ago. Im really happy they are both great!

So Here's a funny story. We were walking home at night when we saw a drunk man, barely able to walk. I looked closely and realized it was an inactive member. We were walking him home (basically carrying him), and he told us that he had another small bottle of vodka he was going to drink when he got home. We told him no, but he was really persistent so when we helped him inside the house I stole his bottle of vodka, unfortunately as I did his crazy mini dog attacked me and started biting my foot. So in summary, as I was stealing vodka from a drunk man I got attacked by a dog.... yep this is missionary work.

Also we saw an insane car crash!! We had just gotten out of a taxi and just a few cars behind us a man going the other way hit a car straight on and destroyed it. He was drunk in a large SUV and there was a young family in a small taxi just a little ways behind us. The drunk man hit them and sent both cars flying. We immediately ran over to see how we could help. Half the people in the car had been ejected on impact and there was a frantic young mother holding a motionless, bloody child. I went straight to her and tried to help. She said "My son, call my dad", I dont know why she called me that, but the way she did made my heart drop. I called for her and gave her my phone. Then my companions and I helped carry the body of another man into the ambulance. It was a scary experience I never thought I would be in.

So transfers this week. I am with a new missionary, thats only been out three months, and a deaf missionary I trained about four months ago. We are doing great and are very happy

Love you to Mongolia and back (thats further than the moon I think).

Zone Conference and Pics

We had a big zone conference with all the missionaries from the countryside. Its was really awesome! President Benson is so AWESOME! I learned a lot, mostly about sacrifice, and how in the Gospel it pays off more than it cost.

This week was pretty uneventful too. We found a new investigator with a lot of potential. I'll let you know later how that goes. We are also working closly with the branch leadership to get people callings. I am laying a strong foundation in EVERY part of the branch here (relief society, priesthood quorums, primary, etc) so that when I go they will continue to get stronger and stronger. So we are busy with doing that.

Yeah Im very excited to play some games! You'll have to reexplain all of them to me again though! haha

Im glad everyone is doing so good! Tell the kids to email me! The poopies!

Happy Anniversary! I love you and dad so much, im so glad that you guys are my parents and raised me so well! I thank Heavenly Father everyday for the life ive been given, and you and dad are also very much a part of that. Thank you for everything!

Here is a great quote I read today:

"Don’t yield to Satan’s lie that you don’t have time to study the scriptures. Choose to take time to study them. Feasting on the word of God each day is more important than sleep, school, work, television shows, video games, or social media. You may need to reorganize your priorities to provide time for the study of the word of God. If so, do it!

love you

Exact Obedience.

(As you can tell, Elder Clement's last few emails have been short and sweet. He and I have been working on exact obedience and this was an email I received from him)

That's EXACTLY right, not perfect obedience, exact obedience! No such thing as a perfect person, and theres no use trying. Just be all that you can be and thats good enough.

That's what I noticed too. My health got better, and I stopped getting stressed. Its been awesome! I'm sooooo glad yo'uve decided to try this too, I know you'll get lots of blessings. And I have been blessed this week, so now I know the source.

I'm glad everyone is doing well.

I'm doing awesome!! There wont be a great email this week though sorry

(Then I gave him a hard time)

haha, momma before I didn't write cause I was having a hard time, but now I promise my mission is doing great! Everything is going amazing! I am loving everything. Don't worry about me

I'm feeling great!

love you LOTS
