Hello everyone! Is everyone getting ready for Canada Day this week?! July 1st baby! Woohoo! Also, a little Independence day action on the 4th! Fireworks and hopefully parades galore! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸
President and Sister Strong leave this week. They will be missed. I am grateful I could learn from them in zone conferences and interviews. I am gonna miss them. A time of change and growth for everyone involved. The missionaries, the Strongs, the office staff and of course the new president: President and Sister Collins.
This week I just got tired. Physically, I had to take a couple power naps so I could keep my head from bobbing the rest of the day. Intellectually, Spanish was hard on my brain. Socially, I didn't feel like talking to anyone. Spiritually, I did not have a plan for my personal studies so they were all over the place; not very effective. Today I have been a missionary for 8 months. Maybe that is part of it, or at least that is what Elder Hatch said. I got so tired that he noticed. He said when he hit his 8-10 month mark span he just hit a wall. It is a time where you have been a missionary for a while but you still have over half of your mission left, which is a lot. Staying motivated and energetic is hard sometimes. You can't feel motivated if you've never felt lazy and you can't be energetic if you've never been tired. So that is where I am at. The principle of enduring to the end is coming in handy right about now.
On a more happy note, Elder Hatch and I caught a ton of fireflies in a jar and put it beside our bed for a nightlight! That was pretty cool. Have a great week! Love ya! Elder Spencer
