It was hard but actually really cool that I was able to
teach!:) haha I love talking in Spanish but it is still difficult for me, I definitely
have a long way to go but it is coming.
Well last week was definitely a crazy week!! We had a lot of
success in finding people and teaching people! We have 16 nuevos which means 16
new investigators and so we are going to hopefully have lots of lessons! And as
for Carlos he is progressing really well we set a baptism date for him!!!!!! It’s
not until the 6th of August because he has surgery but I’m so psyched for
him!!! Also we have another city in our sector called Licán Ray and we have only
knocked doors in this area for like 4 hours and already have 3 families we are
meeting with!!! So definitely keeping busy and not to mention trying to learn Spanish
during all this... haha. But tell everyone thank you so much (everyone who asks about him) and
that I am doing very well. Also yes we eat with a member here his name is (santo
papito) haha no its just Pato, but he is really cool and cooks awesome food!! Also
he has hedgehogs!! (there is a photo of him in here:) )
I’m glad you are enjoying your new work!! I tried to
look up your work but I’m not really sure what they do. What exactly does you
work do there? Also CJ said you have an executive membership to TOP
GOLF???????? Me and Elder Thomas looked that place up and danggggg! that place
looks so dope!!! I hope you still have that when I get back...;) haha no but
that is sweet and I’m glad you are loving it.:)
You will have to send me lots of pics from the 4th and
videos also.:) but that is so sweet you were able to go to the temple!! I love
temples so much and I can’t wait till the one in Concepcion is built. I hope
they let us go see it... haha:) but have fun today and BE SAFE. Tell Chad to
blow stuff up for me haha.
That sounds like a really good lesson you had in church!! That’s what I wanted to tell you about today is following the promptings of
the spirit and having the faith to do so.:) Because on Sunday (yesterday) we
did divisions and I went and taught with Max. In the first lesson we invited Carlos
to be baptized and he was so excited. But in our original plan we weren’t going
to ask him that day but I felt it was right. Then after I had a feeling to
visit one of our investigators who is never home on the weekends but when we
went, she was there!!!!:) So we taught her (Geraldine) a short lesson and we are
going back today!! She is catholic but she really seems interested in our
church so we will see how she feels tonight.:) And don’t worry I’ll keep going
and never give up!!! JUST DO IT haha.
Love you mama and once again thank you so much for all you
do.:) Stay safe and I hope all is well at home. Talk to you next week!:)
Love, Elder Spencer (Shawners)
P.S. Hey those the pics I sent (below) were from our zone p-day party
today!!:) We played sports and watched Inside Out!!!! haha and we had hot
dogs!!!:) And the hedgehog is Patos. The mom had babies this week!!!:) Today was a fun day in all and it was fun to watch a Disney
movie in Spanish haha.:) But have you seen Finding Dory yet?? I’ve heard it is
so cool!!:)

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing his blog with me. He writes so much more detail than my son that I've learned a lot out this area and the work they are doing. Love his pictures as well. So glad our sons are working together!
ReplyDeleteMe too (on the working together part)!! When our older son was on a mission I always tried to find his companion blogs for the same reason. You always learn a lot more about what's going on that way :)
