Hello! This is Elder Spencer serving in the Arkansas, Bentonville Mission. A great week in this part of the Lord's vineyard.
We received a service referral this week. Funny enough the husband of the homes name is William! Because of health conditions William is not able to do a lot. Because if this his dear wife Laura works hard to make sure he is well taken care of. She does a great job from what i can tell and she has a cheerful spirit about her. They really wanted garden boxes in their backyard but she doesn't know how to make them and he couldn't make them. That is when we come in. They texted us and we came over. We assembled the wood together using a hammer and nails. Once the box was complete we poured in sand, compost, more sand and potting soil. They can now grow lots of healthy vegetables! I was grateful that we were able to help them do a task they were not able to do on their own. We were the hands and feet. It reminded me of my sacred call as a representative of Jesus Christ. I am His hands and feet in the field.
We met with Kayla three times this week!! She is reading out of the Book of Mormon and is enjoying what she is reading. When she reads she writes down any questions or clarification she needs on a verse. I recommend we all do this in our scripture study! She even said she was talking to her grandma about one of the verses she was reading and her gradma said what are you reading this book for? We already have the Bible. Does it really talk about Jesus. Kayla showed her the book. On the front it says: The Book Of Mormon--Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Than she opened up to the title page where is says: Jesus is the Christ. Sounds like a pretty awesome experiance. She is praying to know if the Book of Mormon is true. She said she hasn't recieved an answer yet but I think one is starting to formulate. Keep searching, keeping questioning, keep learning.
"For behold, thus saith the Lord God, I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, and blessed are those which shall harken unto my precepts and mend an ear unto my counsel for they shall learn wisdom, for unto him that recieveth I will give more, but unto him that will say, we have enough, unto him it shall be taken even that which he hath." 2 Nephi 28:30. Little by little folks. Little by little. Practice patience.
Take care, love your hair. Elder Spencer
