Hello everyone! I hope you are all going well!
This week I was able to meet with some members and go to church! What a great ward I am in! I feel blessed to be able to serve with these wonderful people of the south. The southern hospitality is real.
We had Zone Conference this week! How wonderful that was! Everytime I am with President and Sister Collins I am lifted and strengthened. I love them and am grateful to know them and serve with them. I also got to see all the missionaries in my zone! That was so wonderful! I am so glad I am not working alone in this work. Bouncing ideas off each other and learning from each other is always good to do.
I was chastened by the Lord through my district leader this week for my finding efforts. I feel like I didn't give my full effort in finding this week and it resulted in us not finding any new people this week. I have been resolved to begin a new this week and strive to do all I can to find someone who is ready to hear the message of the Restored Gospel.
One thing that stood out to me in my study of the Book of Mormon this morning was Alma 29:13. Part of the verse says "...God hath called me by a holy calling, to preach the word unto this people..." the calling of a missionary is holy and the assignment I have in Alma is a holy one. To preach to them the word of God is what God has asked me to do. Therefore if I am to be obedient I must do it. Than I shall have "much success, in the which my joy will be full." (v.13) I hope for this.
I love you all!! Elder Spencer
