And that is an excellent attitude to start with!
Welcome to the Forum! With the other advice to go over the clerk training, I would add to read your Handbooks from cover to cover, but for the clerk information, read here:
Handbook 2, Section 4.6.4
Responsibilities of the Ward Clerk, and
Handbook 1, 13.4.2.
and
Handbook 2, section 15
Stake organization, and
Handbook 1, 13.3.2 through 13.3.4 for the stake clerk responsibilities.
While we are in a stake / ward situation, and there may be some differences as you are functioning as a district clerk, I would assume most principles would apply. Your local region leaders may point out any differences. The wiki here has much more information if you search for specific questions.
