Setting up TV's and We Got "Cheesed!" Mar 8, 2021

Hello all! I hope you are all doing well!! This week was very busy, it has flown by, I know I say this almost every week but the time truly has gone by so quickly! 

We had lots of lessons this week again which is great! I am getting more and more confident teaching. I am still not perfect but every bit helps! Before I get to the subject matter I wanted to write about some amazing lessons we had this week. 

We had one lesson with Craig this week and it went very well! We had a member join us and we were able to have a great lesson on the Holy Ghost and how to feel it more and more in our lives as we read out of 2 Nephi 32 in the Book of Mormon. During the lesson the Spirit was so strong, it was a wonderful experince and afterwards Craig mentioned how calm he feels when he meets with us! That was very awesome to hear that he is recognizing the Spirit when he meets with us! 

As amazing as this lesson was, the cherry on top happened a couple days later during church. It was our ward's fast and testimony meeting, which is when members of the congregation come up and bear their personal testimonies. Well, the member who had joined us for the lesson with Craig got up to bear his testimony... and he talked about our lesson with Craig! During our lesson when we were reading through 2 Nephi 32 we got to verse 3 which talks about "feasting" upon the words of Chirst. We asked Craig what he thought and he said something along the lines of "Well a feast is usually a celebration, so I guess we should be celebrating when we read the scriptures" I had never thought of that and neither had the member. That is what he bore his testimony on and he mentioned Craig saying that and went on to describe how we should be celebrating when we read the scriptures because it is truly a wonderful gift and a guide in our lives, we shouldn't take scripture study for granted. Well when Craig heard his name he was pretty surprised! He loved being mentioned and a bunch of other ward members came up and talked to him afterwards! It was great!

Well, now to the subject letter. Craig needed help setting up his TV so we were able to get over and find some members to help him get his TV up and running, it is amazing all that our ward members do for those we teach! Now to the cheese. Well one morning as Elder Hales and I were walking out to our car, we noticed something yellow on our hood, as we got closer we saw it was a slice of cheese!! 😂 We have no idea where it came from, but it was pretty funny! 

The weather is starting to get warm here in St. Louis, I don't know if I'll survive the summer, it already feels like summer yet is hardly spring! We got lots of service in as it is getting warmer and warmer! It feels great to get outside and do something, cleaning up branches, or raking dirt clods, just being in the sun makes my day!

Well, that's about all for now! I love to hear from you! Take care and stay safe out there! Elder Spencer 

Cheese!
