Sister Clark has been called...

I AM GOING TO UKRAINE!

I have been called to serve in the Ukraine, Kyiv
Mission! I leave July 15th to the MTC in Provo
to learn the Ukrainian language. My mission is huge!!
It is about 800 by 700 miles and borders the Black
Sea. They are building a temple in Ukraine and
they said it should be finished spring of 2010! So
I will be there when it is dedicated.
This.... is where I am going to be spending the
next 1 1/2 years of my life. How grateful I am
for the Lord's hand in my life. I feel like this
is where I'm supposed to be!!



I opened my call on Friday when I got
home from work! I was so excited! It was
SUCH a neat experience to open my call. How
awesome to have a calling straight from the
prophet. I was so glad to have my family there.
I think my mom almost fell off the couch. Wow.
I will be in the MTC for 3 months learing the language
which means I will make it the Ukraine in mid
October! I am excited to eat Borsch, live by
the sea, be in really humid weather, and especially
to preach the Gospel!!!!!!

A short Thank you

I just feel like I need to express my gratitude
for so many things in my life right now. I think
it is so often that we get caught up in every
detail of our lives, that really don't matter.
I know I get that way sometimes, and think
I can do everything by myself. -Not true! I
forget the many blessings I have...
- A loving Family
-The beautiful surroundings of nature
-Health and Strength
- A Healthy mind
-Coming home to my family
- A Safe place to live
-Modern Technology! ( what would we do without it? )
-Righteous Ancestors
-The Restoration of this wonderous gospel
-The opportunity to get an education
-Music
-The hand of the Lord in my life.
-My nephews :)
-The opportunity to sustain myself
-The Atonement
-Challenges that I am given, even though
I really do hate them at the time :)
-The Book of Mormon
-Any Children! They are such a blessing!
-Moms
-Dads
-Missionary Work ( I get my call in a few days!)
-Rainy Days
-I am grateful that my body allows my to exercise!
-Snowy Days
-Sunny Days
-Star Valley WY
-Good friends that will do anything for you
-Make-up and curling irons! Wow. The things the
pioneers lived without.
-Frozen Yogurt


I feel like these blessings that are listed are so
small in comparison to the ones that I am blessed
with each day. I guess I just posted this because
I feel like the world is getting a little less grateful
for the things we have, and I sometimes feel ungrateful.
Please post the things you are grateful for! I think we
will be amazed at how many blessings we really
can find in our busy lives. :)
