Hello! This week was a mixed week!
Elder Jacks and I made a huge push for finding new people to share the gospel with. Lots of contacting people in areabook, friending people on Facebook and responding to referrals. We had success in two out of the three!
We received a few referrals and one of them was a lady named Entiwisle. She needed some help in her front flower bed. When we arrived she gave us some tools and showed us what she wanted us to do. She was very grateful we were there. My companion is very good at working hard and was able to cut out some bushes with a rusty hand saw in no time. I was impressed. I clipped some over grown plants and pulled some weeds. She eventually wants to put some landscape fabric down to prevent the grass from invading the flower bed. We will help her again and share the light of Christ through our examples and words.
We contacted a lot of people in Areabook and one of them was Elijah. I first met Elijah during a Book Of Mormon experiment in May. He wanted to meet with us and he brought his friend Ian! We talked about many things with them. Grace, the restoration, apostasy, and Jesus Christ to summarize it. They were both very kind and listened to what we had to say. They liked how we were comfortable answering their questions and sharing our beliefs. The main point out of everything we talked about was the Book Of Mormon. They have a lot of trouble accepting the book and told us to challenge the Book Of Mormon to see if what it taught corresponded with the Bible. We are going to read Acts, Romans, and Ephesians to see how the doctrine we teach in the Book Of Mormon goes with what is taught in these books. We invited them to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know if it is true. I know the Book Of Mormon is true. It teaches about Jesus Christ, the same Jesus that is in the Bible. He is my Saviour and Redeemer. I am so grateful for the testimony the Book Of Mormon is of Jesus Christ and His divine role in our path back to live with our Heavenly Father.
I got sick at the end of the week. Sore throat, stuffy nose, headache and weakness. The mission nurse advised that I go get tested for Covid and strep and that I should quarantine until I got the results back. The Hermanas found out I was sick and they brought us lunch, dinner and dessert! A member in our ward also brought medicine and some food. The Hermanas got our groceries for us today. I am so grateful for good people. I have received many blessings because of wonderful people who God send my way! So thank you to all the amazing people put there!
Stay happy and healthy out there!
Love ya, Elder Spencer
