Yeah we had a way busy week last week but that is also because
we had to do a lot of traveling for meetings and such.:) Which is hard cause
then after we have to come home and study and do my training which takes time
away from proselyting... But it’s all good. We still got in some good lessons and I feel
that we have some really good progressing investigators. I’ll tell you more
about them next week after we hopefully get some more lessons in this week if I
don’t change zones. I really am learning so much from the people here. It is so
amazing how strong I can feel the spirit in a lot of our lessons.. even though
I still don’t know everything that is going on cause Spanish is hard but I feel
it is coming along really good.:)
This week is transfers or ''Cambios'' as they are
called here. But I won’t know till later today for sure if I’m moving zones but
I think I will be staying here to finish my training.:) This week is crazy... because we have cambios for one and we are going to Osorno today to redo
Elder Thomas' visa and so we are staying busy.:) but we know for sure that
Elder Thomas isn’t leaving so that is good!!!
I’m glad you liked the pictures. I have a ton more but
not enough time to send... As for the hedge hogs they are cute but they are not
really very fun pets. They basically sleep all day until we get there...;) haha,
but they are super adorable!! That sounds like such a crazy fourth of July. I miss
the breakfast and definitely the lake and fireworks!!! It was literally raining
all this last week so we couldn’t have done them here anyway.:)
Your work sounds really cool and also awesome because you
guys are making a difference and helping people!!:) But yeah we looked it up
and Top Golf looks pretty sweet.:) And what????? you haven’t seen Finding Dory
yet???? haha jk. I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s ether really good or just so
so. I want to hear what you guys think. :)
Haha yeah that was sad... :/ (He twisted his ankle on a curb, tripped and tore his pants last week
but he is okay). I have a good bruise on my leg and little cuts on the other
but mostly I was just sad about the pants... haha but it is all good. Thank you
for the thought (which was about our
covenants being like anchors that keep us from wandering off to places we
shouldn't go and keeping us safe.) I never thought about it that way
either. It is a super good example though, and so true. They are there to be our
anchors in the good waters of the Gospel of Christ and keep us away from the bad
things of the world.:) Shoot I might need some physical anchors here cause it
is raining a lot!!! haha but I love the rain and the huge puddles.:)
For
this week my thought is to just look for the hand of God in your life every day.
Try to look for the miracles in your day.:) Elder Thomas has a ''Miracle
Journal'' that he writes 5 different miracles every day!! and that’s what I thought
about the day I ripped my suit. I am so glad that I wore my blue suit that day
and not my black one. Because with my black suit it doesn’t have the warranty
on it, so I would have been out a suit. But with my blue suit I have washable
pants that match and I can get new pants sent for free.:) So count your
blessings and know that even in bad times or what seems like bad times, the Lord
is always there.:)
Love you mom!!! Keep up the good work there and I’ll keep up
the good work over here!!:)
Love,
Elder Spencer (Shawners)
