Another good week workin with el hijo, (the son) we had a really good week, Found a ton of people which is always good and we are working a ton with the members on the familia Alaniz they came to church again which was way awesome! The two kids have a baptismal date but the mom is just not really feeling it yet, kinda hard her kids really want to be baptized but she does not have a testimony yet so we are working really hard with that. Her name is Rosemary, and her kids Fabricio y adriana. keep them in your prayers and pray that everything goes well with them!
On Wednesday I had one of the coolest days ever with E. Fisher we went on splits together in my old area Sipe Sipe! We had a really good time we just talked about the good old Orchard Stake and all the friends that we had in WX, and to end the day we stopped by the pension where we ate some fruit salad and just hung out all four of us together, super nuts! To go back to a place that you have been for, for so long, luckily nothing much changed and it was all the same but I mean I was there only four weeks ago. We visited a few people up in the pueblo of Parotani, Ilove that place.
I told you all a few times that we are teaching the familia Valdivia; a mom, and dad with two kids they are really cool and really love the gospel. The dad is a member but hasn't been to church in like 30 years.... but the wife is not and we are teaching them both but she really wants to be baptized but wants to wait until February. Which is cool and we are going to prepare them for the date that she wants and make her a fiel miembro (faithful member). And now we have almost 4 months to prepare her! I might not be here but I'll help her onto the path!!
Saturday we had one of the stake activities again and this time all the wards had to choose a country and then they did dances from that country, it was really cool and we had a good time with the zone. We didn't dance ha-ha but we handed out cookies which was fun. I took some pics too!
oh fetch, when we were at the dance the whole stake was there and the old bishop from Sipe Sipe walks up to me ( I'm not a big fan of him) and he tells me he needs my shoe laces... So they are in the dance and he has to tie something around his waist so what do I do.. give them to him little did I know it would be the hardest thing possible to find him again after his dance! I was walking around the whole night with out any shoe laces!! After maybe 2 hours I finally found him he was sitting down watching the show and he goes oh here you go Elder Caldwell, (Elder from my group that served in Sipe Sipe a long time before me) it's ok I'm just happy I got my shoe laces back!! ha-ha
Well that's it for this week, I added some more pics to my drive so go check those out! But all is well here. Love you guys!

Many times I am able to be on with him because it's my lunch time and this week was one of those times, Here's what our conversation was, I thought it was worth sharing as it's amazing how He knows Him so well and aware of His children and especially His missionaries. Enjoy...
Elder Clayton: hi mom, sounds like you had a good week that's really good, hope life is good Bishop Savage wrote me which is really cool , I love that man and thank him for all he has done in my life from a little kid to now! AND I thank you guys too every day! love you mom sorry my letters aren't great. i just have like no have time. But know that i love ya and the Clayton fam! Have a good one!
MOM: I love your letters. They are exactly what I need. I just want to know that you're having success, you're well and that you're happy! I love you pal! MOM
Elder Clayton: When i got my call i thought i would be baptizing like Alma.. but that's not why I'm here, it's to work hard and invite people to come unto Christ, I'm happy with that and happy to be here! Love ya mom!
MOM: This was the scripture of the day. I swear it is for you today! So appropriate for what you just wrote. It’s exactly why you’re there. Love you so much.
Sure love you pal. Have a great week.
MOM: This was the scripture of the day. I swear it is for you today! So appropriate for what you just wrote. It’s exactly why you’re there. Love you so much.
15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
16And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me! You know that one soul, can be YOU!
[M]issionaries humbly serve where called. They do not attempt to serve based on worldly standards of status or preparation for future careers. They serve with all their heart, might, mind, and strength wherever they are assigned. They do not choose their missionary companions, and they seek diligently to develop Christlike attributes, which are at the heart of the culture of Jesus Christ.
