Hello everyone! I love you all and hope you are well.
I would love to tell you about the best exchange I have ever had. It was with my dear friend Elder Case. He was my Zone Leader in Springfield and is now the AP. I look up to him as an excellent example of boldness and powerful spiritual teaching. He truly does everyone can to have the Spirit with him. I hope I can be like that one day. Side note. Speaking of having the Spirit with you, my dad taught me something cool about that. Read Alma 36:30 and than Moroni 4:3. Than ask "What does it mean to prosper in the land?"
Anyway the exchange. The entire time we were together Elder Case and I were just building each other up. We were expressing pure and genuine gratitude to each other and that was very healing and energizing. I strongly encourage you to express gratitude. Elder Case was bold with a few people we met including Tony. He was making fun of us at first for not drinking coffee or smoking but as we talked with him he literally had a change of heart right before our eyes. He went from poking fun to sharing struggles he was having to giving us his phone number so we could invite him to church!
Then we went to a member's home and Elder Case invited them to pick a specific date they would invite a friend to learn from the missionaries! They accepted. Very powerful.
Finally, we went to visit a member and I knocked on the door but there was no answer. I heard voices and I thought it was coming from inside but Elder Case turned around and saw a couple walking down the street with their dogs. We thought it was the member. But it wasn't. Their names are Zach and Micah and she has relatives who are members! They gave us their address and said we could come back anytime!!
I love you all! God bless
Elder Spencer
