Hello there momma. How you been this last week? That’s crazy
you are in Texas. I hope that you are having fun in your training!!:) I’m glad
that you liked my fotos that I sent this last week! but haha that was the point,
I was like oh I definitely have to take a photo here!!😂😉 But oh sweet you saw that video
of me totally biffing it??:) It was so cold!! I was filled with snow after
that... but haha you know stuff happens when you’re Elder Spencer!!😄
This last week was
really good for us as well! On Tuesday we went and visited Hermana Maria and it
went really well. We didn’t really know what to plan to share with her, and
when we went to go and visit with her; she told us she didn’t understand the 3 degrees
of glory in the plan of salvation so we taught her more about that. It was an
awesome lesson with her. Then also we went to the Lorca family that night for a
noche de hogar (FHE) and watched the first part of the Brasil vs. Chile game. Apparently
they got wrecked in the end and now aren’t going to the Fifa World Cup...:( Then
on Wednesday we went to the hermanas sector in Osorno to pass out invitations
as a zone because there was a "capilla abierta" on Sunday to show the
building to the public!:) So that was way fun and we contacted a ton of awesome
people so it was way worth it to get the whole zone there!:)
On Thursday... oh man so there is a new family that moved
from Santiago that are members and they have 3 kids but we helped them move
in!:) It was fun but it was a lot of boxes and appliances. So us, the elders from
Ecuador, and the parents of this family were there to take the stuff off the
truck and take it down to the apartment. It was a ton of work but so fun to
help them and get to know them a little!!:) 😄💪💪
Then on Saturday we taught the hna Maria again and she is doing good!:) She was
talking to her granddaughter about when she is coming up from Chiloé to watch
her baptism!!:) Then we also had a cita with Alfredo that night but he
forgot...😅
On Sunday we had the capilla abierta in Franke and it was so cool. A ton of the
members helped out. And in case you’re wondering, a capilla abierta is when we
open up the church and invite people to come inside, look at the rooms, listen
to a few tapes and testimonies and teach very basic principles about what we do
so people don’t think that the Mormons are some secret cult.. You know it was
way fun!!:) (selfie included of after with the zone).
That is sweet about Elder Goddard. I’m sure I will see him
when he gets here because I receive all the missionaries!!:) Man that’s a good
question. The thing that I am grateful for this last week... well there is a lot,
but I would say Personal Study... Now listen before you think I’m crazy... haha.
As missionaries we have time to study in the morning and if we have other things
going or it doesn’t happen, I can really feel the difference I have during the
day. I’m not as confident in myself or my teaching. But if I do my part and
study, that invites the spirit to be with me and I feel like I can handle whatever
circumstance that happens during the day!:) You’ll probably think I’m crazy but
I’ve gotten a lot better at not procrastinating in the mission!!:)
That sounds like you had a fun week this last week!:) and
that’s sweet that you could help the Nuñez’ and get a new fridge for us as well!!
and ohhhh noooo😥😥😥
I loved the water and ice from that old fridge!!! Man I’m so sad it’s not gonna
be there when I get back!!:/ haha
I love that talk as well!!:) (from Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson). It is really so true at times. We
are trying to make a huge contribution in another place and we are neglecting
the little things and people closest to us!! Thank you for that reminder momma;
and like I think she says in that talk as well, we can ask ourselves "who
needs me today?" (How can I help others today?)
Love you to eternity and beyond momma!!:) Thank you for all
that you do and I hope that you have an amazing week. I’ll talk to you soon!
love you so much and do work in your training !!:)
Love you!!!!:)
