Spencer update...bad to the bone!

ok, leave it to Spencer to be a little creative in his missionary work. He and his companion made these pictures of themselves and handed them out on the streets of LA. He say's they were very successful. They are teaching some people this week! His best story is when he and his companion were tracting and some latinos offered up some food to them. Homemade fajitas! Mondays are his prep days, and he says they played kick ball last week. He misses the rain in Seattle. He is in an area with a car and passed his driver's test last week, and says LA traffic is horrible. That's about it.

just got an email update check it out!

Hey dad yeah that is cool that grandma and grandpa lived in Lomita!!! its just how the Lord works i guess!! haha. so yeah i heard about Mara, but i know they will be ok.. Brother Adams does have a strong testimony and i am glad they recieved my letter. give them my best wishes. i am glad to hear that you saw that miracle! people often miss the things like that where the miracle was simply she got to return to heavenly father earlier than us and for that i think she is extremely blessed...

So i am glad to hear everybody is doing well. Tell Dallin to keep going because he is an amazing soccer player and they will get a win! always give it his all tell him i said that. also tell Jensen im proud of him for sticking with basketball ; tell him not to be too hard on himself.. here is a quote for them. "The Lord doesnt expect perfection he expects progression so just tell them that and to keep progressing to be the best they can be! "

I am very pleased to hear of the success at home. we are also having success. we found 12 new investigators this week! the most my trainer has ever had his whole mission in a week so that is really good news! also, we found a family of 7 and we are really exited about them as well. hopefully all of them turn into baptisms. pray for that please. on top of that i gave my first sit down lesson about the restoration to a guy named nick and his family and i am super exited about that! i felt the lord guiding me the whole way and him putting words in my mouth just like the scriptures said.

Yeah its not really ghetto here its just low class to middle class with lots of gangs and mexicans haha. i am getting good practice with my spanish here! i had something called helote the other day. its pretty much ghetto corn in spanish haha, but it was so good!! it was corn with mayonaise, butter, parmasian cheese, and a chile kind of spice. i will have to take a picture of it sometime and show you guys haha its hard to explain, but this guy goes around honking a horn and all these mexican people crowd around to get some of this helote. its comparible to the icecream truck! its way popular around here. haha.

Well all is going well! the work is progressing and i am exited for this upcoming week! keep praying for me and keeping me posted!! i love you and miss you dad! take care!
