Hello everyone!
Can't believe it is P-day again! This week flew by! This week nothing too crazy happened. We had some great days full of teaching, finding and other missionary activities.
We have been changing up what we call daily-contact and it seems to be working well. Daily-contact is exactly what it sounds like it is getting in contact with those we are teaching daily. Usually we do that in the form of text but this week we felt inspired after a challenge by our AP's to change up how we do it.
We sent some people a scripture first, some others we sent a fun little video. Others we sent vocie recordings! We got more response and were able to have better conversations with people it was awesome!! Changing it up worked wonders.
We had a pretty awesome lesson with our friend Ashley this week. We taught her about fasting. She told us that she couldn't fast from food because of health reasons so we challenged her to pick something else to fast from. She decided upon TV. We told her we usually fast for only about 24hrs so we were surprised when she said she wanted to give up TV for one whole week!! However the greater surprise came about a day later. She texted us saying that she really doesn't watch that much TV and that she wanted to Fast from YouTube instead!! That was really awesome, she decided to do something that would be a greater sacrifice and I know she will be blessed for choosing to do the harder thing!
I don't have a ton of time but a couple of scriptures that really stood out to me this week were 1 Nephi 19:9 and Alma 7:11-13. They talk all about Christ's love for us. Charity is something I have been studying lately. It is truly a great thing!! When you have a couple spare minutes give those scriptures a read and let me know what you learned or felt! I'd love to hear from you!!
Well sorry again for the shorter email but I gotta run, email me back, I'd love any updates from y'all!!
Love, Elder Spencer
