Clark Family Update: Day 155 Wednesday November 15th 11:00 am Day 60 at home We have been on this journey now for 155 days, and we have been blessed to be home for the 60 days. There is a power that comes from being a united family, it is undeniable, and it is one of my most cherished gift from the Lord. I treasure it, and I have been trying very hard lately to show those members of my family that I cherish them. Chase was able to stand and bear his testimony in our stake conference Sunday in Minot. Stake conference is when multiple congregations gather twice a year and hear from our church leaders.We have been praying that he would be able to speak clearly, and that the congregation would have their ears opened and be blessed to understand his words. I was truly shocked when he didnt stand up and miraculously speak clearly. The Lord did grant a huge miracle for us it just wasnt the way I thought it would be given. The spirit was there and it conveyed the feeling and intent of Chases words. I didnt need words to understand his message. So many people in the stands have prayed, fasted, and served us. Chase stood there a witness of Gods power, Grace and hand in our lives. I think in that short time, the Lord used Chases inability to form the words intelligibly to send the words we needed to hear into our hearts and minds. I cried through the whole thing. I cried because he lives, and four months after laying at deaths door he was able to stand before an auditorium of people and bear witness that God lives, and that he is a witness of Gods unending love for us. I also cried a little for his impairment, and for his struggles. We never regret, but sometimes we have our overwhelming moments when we are weary. After his testimony he jauntily booked it down the stairs and sat with our family. We surrounded him without thought and embraced him with arms and words. If I can be this well pleased with one of mine in spite of his weaknesses, how must my Lord, and my Savior feel about me? I asked him to write and read his testimony so that we could share it with you if you werent able to attend. I am including it exactly how he typed it, although the Mom in me wanted to edit it first. :) I would ask before you read it that you say a prayer and invite the Lord to give you the same miracle we received, that he will touch your heart and mind with the words that he would send to you. Also read it slowly, it took him a long time to read it, these are words he pondered and penned himself ******** Pause for a prayer and a moment to reflect***** My name is Chase Yuji Clark. I would like to share my testimony, recently l got in a horrible accident, I should of died, instead I was saved against all odds, by Gods hand. when I woke up from my stay in the hospital I remembered a few select things during this, I knew that God loves me and he let my wreck Happen, and through it I was a tool, many people were affected .I heard of people coming back to the church, new members, and familys growing closer to together. Before this happened to me I had a seed of a testimony but I was still relying on my parents. This has been a miracle for me. My testimony has sprouted into more than a tree and my faith is now almost infinite. I know with all of my soul. That this its the one true restored church. That Joseph was in fact the first modern prophet of this gospel he gave us the gift of the church, the full priesthood, and baptism by immersion. I have every reason to go on a mission. I was given a blessing in the icu that told me I still had a mission to complete. I have every intension to go and finish it, and to share Gods work before and after my mission. I love my family they were there for me through this entire endeavor. I now have a special thanks and love for my mom. She was there the entire time with me she put up with even when was I was disrespectful to Her, When I wanted to quit she kept me going, and working hard and with a good attitude. I know that we have a true prophet today. I would like to thank everyone who prayed for me. And those who took care of my house and my siblings. I do ask this in the name of Jesus Christ amen. Thank you! Chase went back to school last Wed, and he is having to build his strength back up again. Friday was a busy day for us. We went to Minot for a check up and CT scan. Everything looks great and is healing properly, Chase was a little disappointed because he didnt get his feeding tube out. His Dr. was in surgery and wasnt available to do it. We then rushed back to Williston for his Dentist appointment, he was scheduled to get his braces off. Again bitter disappointment, as there was still a small gap, and I agreed they needed to stay on for another 6 weeks. Next he headed to 3 hours of therapy at the rehab center. Chase refused to go to therapy. An exhausting day filled with disappointment coupled with a recovering body makes for some serious over-stimulation. His dad came to the center and went to therapy with him, there may have been some physical assistance in getting him to therapy that day, but we made it through. His energy level are increasing everyday, and we are scheduled to head to Minot on Monday to have the sutures and feeding tube removed - Fingers Crossed! We continue to pray for his rapid recover, and for him to keep his spirits high. We love you and pray for you, May the Lord bless you and keep you until we meet again. We are Legion.
