My Mission but every time I go on exchanges it gets 2x faster and more distorted.
Lots of pictures, not
many words
So,
first exchange this week was with Elder Bonds from California!
Thursday afternoon we
started another exchange, Elder Baker from Utah!
When we started the
exchange it was cold and windy so we had lunch at the snack bar in Shoshone and
it was good.
Other than that, not
too much craziness is happening up here other than snow/rain/stuff.
Sunday was a really
good day because we gave talks in church and so did a missionary who is leaving
for the MTC this week. We had two people at church who had never come before.
Our ward mission leader spoke about his conversion story and it was just a
really good sacrament meeting. Hopefully both of them come back next week with
their families!
Stay safe and warm
everybody! NEXT WEEK IS CHRISTMAS!

Should I submit my picture from Kimberly?
Hi Mom! Good
to hear from you! I'll probably be calling you next week from Skype on my
phone. We don't know for sure when but probably in the evening!
1. Do
you need anything? Do you want anything?
I think I'm good right
now! But thank you though!
2.
Best day this week?
Sunday for sure.
Exchanges wear me out. ONLY 3 MORE! I go on more exchanges than the
assistants... Fat District.
3.
What did you learn this week?
Jehovah's Witnesses
have an app called JW Library that looks a lot like Gospel Library but with
mostly various different bible versions. The guy we talked to was trying to
find the Book of Mormon because he thought it was a version of the bible. We told him what it really was and he said that he would read it. Also, he was
wearing BYU shorts with no idea that that is what they were.
4.
Any questions for me?
Hmmmm. You know, I did
have some.
What are your t-shirt
sizes? I probably won’t be able to get anything to you before Christmas, but I
do want to buy something before I leave Sun Valley!
I also started doing
my college application this week. I submitted one to U of A and requested the
transcript from ASMSA. It says I have to pay the 40 application fee again. So I
was just wondering if I had that kind of money in my account.
Also, all of the
missions around us have done away with member dinners. So we are lucky there I
guess!
5.
Best meal this week?
Someone brought us
some Mexican food from some place that we don't know. All I know is that it was
good and had shrimp. I don't think I have had shrimp since I left. I know you
don't like shrimp. So I'm only going to mention it one more time. Shrimp.
6.
Uplifting quote or thought or verse?
How about a song? or a
lot of songs. The new Mutual music for 2019 came out. It is always good stuff.
The theme is John 14:15, "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
7.
Best thing about being a missionary?
Having the restored
gospel is nice. It makes things a lot easier when you are backed by the
scriptures. You just kinda walk around and let the Spirit do the work. You do
get tired though, especially when it gets dark at 5:00 on the dot.
8.
Most challenging day this week?
Probably Friday.
Richfield was cold and we didn’t have a car. Also, Richfield isn't much. And it
was cold. It was a pretty sunset though!
9. P
day activities planned?
Today we were going to
sled. But it is raining right now. So hopefully we will get to do some hiking
or something! It is hard to find things to do when the missionary handbook says
"no winter sports" and you are in a ski resort town.
10.
How have you changed (if you have changed) since becoming a missionary?
Probably just more
decisive and somehow I still weigh less than when I got here. The real answer
will have to come next JULY!
Love you! Talk to you
next week!
- Spencer
