Hello everyone! This week I got my first Covid Vaccine! It is pretty amazing that I have the opportunity to get the shot. I am trying my best to help lower the cases of the virus so we can get back to our normal activities. So we can enter the temple again. That will be an amazing day. I was so happy to hear the announcement of twenty new temples! The work is moving forward!
The sad news this week was that Teresa and Lori have decided that they do not want to take the discussions at this time. It was sad because we had just found them and got really excited about teaching them and helping them come closer to Christ. I don't think our efforts were in vain though. I gained more experience and grew my faith.
We had some great experiences with Bryan this week though!! Bishop came to one of the lessons. That was so awesome. He connected quickly with Bryan and even invited him and us over to his house for dinner. He lives really close to Bryan so he will be able to give lots of support and encouragement. Bryan also came to a session of General Conference which was so great! He is a good man.
I had the opportunity to attend a baptism this week. That was so amazing to see someone make a covenant with God. Before my mission I took baptisms for granted. Now that I am a missionary however, I have really started to see how much goes into a baptism. People make a lot of changes in their life to follow Jesus. It takes a lot more effort than I realised. It takes faith.
Elder Buhman and I are really going to make a push to find people to teach. It is one of the hardest things to do. It takes time, diligence and effort. "For behold, angels are declaring it (the word) unto many at this time in our land (Springfield, MO)" (Alma 13:24) With these encouraging words from the Book Of Mormon I know we can find those who are ready to recieve the gospel.
Love you all, Elder Spencer
