Dear Elders and Sisters:
A few weeks ago I wrote a letter entitled "Mending Broken Fences" and all of you accounted that you had read it and committed that you would be more Exactly Obedient. Your commitments and follow through have changed the California Fresno Mission for the better! Your commitment to Exact Obedience has yielded a portion of the blessing we desire and I know the trend is set and the trajectory is clear. Last weekend, November 15th and 16th, we were blessed with 31 Baptisms - including a family of 6 in Madera. Wow! What a blessing! Thank you for "partnering" with the Lord as He Hastens His work! What we seek, the Strength of 1,000, will only come as a result of our Obedience, Worthiness, Commitment, Focus and Faith. You are on the right path and are "participating" with the Lord in His way as He Hastens His work. Now is the time to become even more Committed and Focused. Look in your lives to find where you can become even more Obedient and make the necessary changes. Serving with "No Regrets" never had greater meaning than now! I know the Lord will bless us with this blessing if we do our part so stay focused. Please don't allow transfers to be a distraction. Just continue forward with great energy and effort. This is an exciting time and a very enjoyable time. Aside from diligently seeking this righteous goal and blessing of the Strength of 1,000, the Lord is also teaching us how to baptize over 100 in a month as well as how to achieve a goal of over 1,000 baptisms in a year. You should already be focusing on December and soon January as this is the "New New"! In other words, build momentum for months to come rather than viewing each month as a single goal. This is what will be required to truly link keys with these wonderful Stakes and Wards to "partner" with them as they "participate" with the Lord in His Hastening as they set their worthy goals for next year. This will be the great evidence that the church of the Members and the church of the Missionaries have truly merged. What a wonderful day, week, month and time to be a Missionary in the CFM!!!!
Sister Clark and I pray in earnest for you, your investigators, and your righteous desires.
With heartfelt love,
President Clark
