Hi I'm Alex Clarke
I grew up in Springfield Missouri. I wakeboard, play guitar, and sing. I'm a missionary, and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I have two younger brothers, and a little sister on the end, who I love more than most anything. My Dad died in a plane accident in November of 2012. It's been a really tough trial, but we've learned to trust in the Lord. I love to play guitar and sing. Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons, Imagine Dragons, and the Goo Goo Dolls are some personal favorites. I'm really into wake boarding, which I try to do every weekend in the summertime. I love to read, Narnia and Harry Potter are the best. I just finished building a kit car that I started with my Dad. and, as of this writing, I have been in the MTC for two weeks. I'll move on to Concepcion Chile for two years when I get to week 6. Its hard work here. I'm tired physically, mentally, and emotionally, but I could not be happier. This really is the Lords work.
Why I am a Mormon
My life has been so blessed by the gospel. I know that. A lot of people look at me and the way I choose to live and think that I'm really limiting myself with a lot of rules, but the fact of the matter is that this gospel makes me happy. I know it can make others happy. I know my savior loves me. I know families can be forever, and I know that we are led by a prophet who is led by God. That's why I'm a Mormon.
How I live my faith
I was born a member of the church, and I gained a testimony at a young age. In school I was always sure to speak up about my beliefs no matter what. I love to share the gospel. I've been called as a missionary for the Chile Concepcion mission, which means I'll spend most of the next two years doing service and teaching people about the gospel. I try and live the way I teach, so that I can grow nearer to my savior.
