Week 13 - One year older and what?

I'm surprised how fast my birthday came this year. It seriously feels like only yesterday that I arrived in Australia and came to the UNSW area. Time goes by so fast here. At this rate, I'll be home before you can say "Our purpose is to ever more effectively invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost,and enduring to the end." I hope it doesn't go by that fast though, this is an amazing time to be on a mission, and I'm looking forward to serving every day.
I'm really loving it here. This week marks the start of a new "transfer", which is why this email is coming in a day late. One of the Elders in my flat, Elder Rawlinson, finished his mission this week, which means that we have a new Elder in the apartment, Elder Au from China. He's a fantastic elder, and I'm looking forward to getting to know him.

Our teaching pool is slowly but surely growing. We have had a fantastic time meeting new people and sharing the message of the gospel with them. I know that as they apply the things they learn, they'll gain a better understanding of God, Jesus Christ, and themselves.

On Friday, I got to go to the mission office in Carlingford to take a driving certification test. It was a little different to drive on the left hand side of the road, but I think that I'm getting the hang of it. If I get transfered to an area with a car, I'm sure that I'll be able to drive just fine.

Well, it's been another amazing week in Australia, and I look forward to writing to you all again. Thanks for all you do!

Elder Clark
