Hello! This week has been all over.
I felt the twin connection a lot this week as I biked almost everyday 😀🚲 the extra exercise was great and there is nothing like some fresh air in the lungs.
The biking became difficult after we had a sad lesson with my dear friend Bryan. In my six months here I have spent the most time out of everyone with Bryan. I have grown close to him and at one point he was on date for baptism. Some of my best teaching moments have been with this man and I saw him grow a lot. This week it came crashing down in my face. He said the Book of Mormon sounded like a fairy tale and that the devil led a man named Joseph Smith to write the book. He said he doesn't need a prophet to worship but that God is all he needs. That was a blow to me. He said he used to look forward to our meetings.
We had a similar struggle with Elijah and a friend named Jeremiah this week as well. They stated that we believe in different gods. I have really come to learn a lot, but still have to much to learn about other people's beliefs.
The highlight of my week was our zoom lesson with our dear friend Laura! It was our first lesson with her and it couldn't have gone better. She is so prepared to receive the gospel. We read the introduction to the Book of Mormon and she loved it! She said she wants peace in this life and eternal life in the world to come. She wants to come to church and be baptized by one holding the authority of God. She asked us about coming to church! This stands as a testament to me that the Lord is preparing people on the earth, in the area in which you live, to receive the restored Gospel. All we have to do is find them.
Love you all! Elder Spencer
