Hey everyone! This week was insane! Lots happened.
First of all I said goodbye to the people of Champaign-Urbana, that was hard. There are so many people I will miss and that impacted my life. Serving missions is hard that way you get close to someone and then have to leave.
We got to the transfer meeting quite early so we sat there for a couple hours and I was nervous the whole time, but then the Assistants came out and informed us where we are going. I was told I was being transferred to Columbia, Missouri which is pretty awesome!
Champaign is in the very north-east corner of my mission and Columbia is in the north-west corner so that was kinda funny going to the opposite side of the mission.
My new companion's name is Elder Hurst he is from West Jordan, Utah and is super fun to serve around! We are serving in the YSA branch out in Columbia so again no ties!!
I'm excited to work in a YSA and teach people my own age. It has been a little weird so far but I like it.
There are 12 companionships in this zone so it's a bit bigger than Champaign there will be lots more to do. We have some Elders who live right behind us so we hang out with them every night.
However yesterday we received some sad news that one of those Elders is headed home so we are being put temporarily in a trio, the other Elder we will be with is Elder Furniss, he is from Pleasant Grove, Utah.
We will be running two areas it'll be lots of fun!
I've been thinking a bit about knowledge and how important it is to gain all types of knowledge of spiritual and temporal things. I have lots of decisions to make about what I want to study and where I'll go to school and it makes me nervous but I know it is something God wants and expects of me!
Have a great week everyone!
Elder Spencer
So sorry there is only one pic, I'll try to get more for next week!
