Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend!
This week President and Sister Strong left. They are back in Utah right now. Fantastic couple. Did a great job leading this mission and they will be missed. President and Sister Collins are here! A mission wide zoom meeting was held and they introduced themselves to us. I love them! Very loving people. I will get to meet them tomorrow in person. I am looking forward to that.
Our friend Neil came to church! This made me really happy! We haven't been able to help Neil come to church in a couple months so this was great! We also had a lesson with Neil. That was nice to see where he is at with everything and from what he said it sounds like he is going to commit to meeting with us once a week. Fingers crossed.
We had a second P day last Tuesday because our mission reached our goal for our Find Him and Be One Facebook pages! That was exciting. We got together with our zone and played pool, ping-pong, corn hole and darts! We had pizza and ice cream and all of this was provided by a really kind member! Such a fun day.
Elder Hatch and I have been studying D&C 121-123. Those are the sections that Joseph Smith received in Liberty Jail. He and his friends endured a lot of really hard things while there. It was winter, they had no blankets, the food was poisonous, the guards were cruel and they got sick. It was hellish for them. In desperation the prophet calls out to God and receives the previously mentioned sections. One verse that really stood out to me was in section 122:8 "The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?" So even though Joseph and his friends were going through some really hard things they were still not as low as Christ was. He descended lower. He can succur you because He has felt it. Turn to His outstretched hand and you can feel peace. Love you all! Elder Spencer
