Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well!
This week flew by and lots happened. We were still in quarantine for the first little bit of the week so we continued to have online lessons and did the best we could.
This week was a little hard with our friends and their progression. I felt like at times our friends weren't getting anywhere and it made me sad. But as I studied the Book of Mormon peace came to my heart and soul knowing that Heavenly Father knows what these people need more than I do. So I resolved to just do my best and let Him take care of the rest.
As many of you probably already know, my Great-Grandfather Gail S. Halvorsen passed away recently. I was able to call him and speak briefly to him before he passed Wednesday evening. He is such a great example to me and I will always remember him as a kind, caring individual who could bring smiles to anyone around him. I'll miss him lots but I know that I will see him again.
As I was doing my best to work and learn thoughts kept coming to me that it's not about me. Even though I wanted to stop the work and mourn my grandfather's passing, I knew that the Lord still expected me to work hard so I did. I continued to study and pray and did my best to help all those around me.
I was blessed with energy and strength to do the Lord's work for which I am grateful for.
To wrap up before transfer news we had an awesome miracle this week. So we got home from church and we got a call from someone saying there was a couple at the church who wanted to speak to us. We got over to the church and met Rudy and Chesca. They are from Peru and are interested in learning from us. They have met with missionaries in the past but didn't feel ready to be baptized but this time around they said they were ready! We are meeting with them on Friday so we will see how that goes.
Transfer news. So Elder Davis is leaving and so is Elder Jensen and Olson. Their area is closing so we are going from a 4 man to a 2 man. It'll be an adjustment for sure but I'm looking forward to the new challenges that will arise.
Hope you are all doing well!
Elder Spencer
