An update in pictures...

Luke posted a bunch of new pictures that I want to add as a recap of the past 6 weeks or so! They've been eventful!

Clark's just about got the "Luke smirk" down haha 

Teaching Helen & Clark

Missionary work can evidently be exhausting ;) 

Practicing his culinary skills

I have no idea, but it seems out of character ha

Bill, Suzie, & the Chinese elders

Are you sensing that the Chinese mission in
DC South involves a lot of great Chinese food?!

Exchanges

Guess who got baptized?! Way to go, Clark!

So proud of this guy!

Clark and the Chinese elders

This is Helen, Clark's mom, at his baptism. Our family
got to talk with Helen and Clark on the p-day after he
was baptized. It was so much fun!! Helen is the sweetest
lady and, as a mom, it was fun to see how much she loves
my boy. I'm so thankful for wonderful people in the DC 
South mission who help love and take care of Luke! I
know it's a mutual thing... Luke has always been pretty
exceptional at loving and taking care of people too :) 

The whole branch turned out to celebrate the baptism!

Luke worked with the President to get permission
for Clark's dad (in China) to be able to watch on Zoom!

Buddies :) 

The Chinese elders at Top Golf to celebrate!

Luke does a lot of translating now :)
I'm no expert, but I am amazed at how
well his Chinese is coming along!

There is a great story with this pic... the short
version is that the missionaries invited a groups of
guys playing basketball to come to church. They
said they only would if the missionaries could beat
them in a pickup game of basketball. The missionaries,
I'm guessing with divine intervention, played the
game of their lives... dress shoes and all! Like, 
couldn't miss a shot haha! Though impressed, the 
losing team did not show up to church haha ;)
