Hello everybody!
This week what was brought to the forefront of my mind and work was members. Those who are in the church and have callings in the ward. Members play an important role in what I get to do as a missionary. They help me find people to teach the gospel to, serve people who need help and feed us dinner! They give us a ride when we need it and check up on us to see if we have everything we need. I have had many amazing experiences with members and they have been a huge help and support to me while I have been away from home and in a new environment. When we have been in a pinch they have pulled through and delivered us a meal or given us a ride! However, not all the members are this way and that is what I ran into this week. How can I help bring more light and love into the lives of the members who aren't as involved in missionary work and the joy it brings. So if you have any ideas on what missionaries can do to help members love, serve and do missionary work.
Some sad news. Our friend Stephanie and her son have decided that they do not want to have any more lessons with us..... rejection is never easy and it is sad when we can't share what has brought me so much joy to others. They have their choice so I can only hope they can use it later to come closer to Christ, because when all is said and done coming to Christ is the MOST IMPORTANT THING ANYONE CAN EVER DO. He heals, helps, lifts and comforts. Without Him I couldn't do what I do. So please, say a prayer or read His word. Look at a picture of Him, think about what He has done for you.
I love you all! Jesus loves you too! Elder Spencer
