May In Munich

So, some highlights of the week...


HERE WE GO!

So yeah last monday I got a haircut! That was fun. I already told mom, but for everyone else.....

I went in to the shop to get my hair cut, and for me this was a very new experience! haha I wasnt really sure how to 'order' a haircut! I just told her that I wanted it shorter! Duh, because i would totally go into a hair dresser to get my hair longer......hahah But yeah she then asked me if 9mm was ok. Hate to break it to ya, but we americans dont use the metric system that often.....hahah I asked her how long 9mm was and she just laughed and said about 1 centemeter. HELLO LADY!!! I DONT KNOW HOW LONG THAT IS EITHER!!!! hahah it was way funny though! But I went with the 9mm cut and it turned out ok!

Then we went grocery shopping, cleaned the appartment for a while, then we sent a nice note to our Bishop thanking him for everything that he does. He is such a nice man. He is pretty young, has 3 or 4 little kids, and is just super busy. I saw how hard it was to be a bishop when dad did it, and Elder THomas had a similar experience so we just told him that we understand 'second hand' what he does. So hopefully he liked that.

Teusday was really good. We did some study then headed out to teach Antonio! We taught him the plan of salvation. He took it really well I thought. Nothing seemed to bother him about it. We just really struggle with him because he hasnt gotten an answer to his prayers. We cant force him to get an answer and we cant force Heavenly Father to give him one.....but we are kind of at a stale mate. We have taught him the three main lessons, he comes to church every week and all of the YSA activities, and reads in the Book of Mormon everyday! But he just hasnt gotten an answer. Hopefully soon!

Then we had district meeting at the church. That was good. It is kind of awkward now being a zone leader and going to District Meetings. I am still a normal missionary!!! But our District Leader always is looking to us for approval and stuff. We are just normal members of the district! We are for sure not any better than them. But thats just how it goes.

That night we taught German class. That was really fun! I think it is the most amazing miracle for me to be able to teach other people German! There is no chance that some normal person could learn a language as fast as missionaries! We believe in the gift of tongues! and so do I !!!!!

Wednesday was fun filled! So like i have mentioned a million times our job as Zone Leaders is to train the Dístrict leaders in the Zone. So on Wednesday we went to Augsburg, to visit a district meeting. It was really good. Probably one of the best one ive been to. Elder Pugmire is a really good District Leader. Their goals are right in line with the Zone and Mission Visions. That is something that people just dont understand. The Lord has a purpose.

Mos 1:39- The immortality and eternal life of man

The Church also has a purpose. The point most important to us is: Proclaim the Gospel

Our mission Vision is "We are Obedient, we speak with everyone, we baptize!"
A happy Missionary!

Preparation Day Activity, biking too bad they are not in Austria in their Lederhosen...

 A little check list that Elder Spencer made for us : Just if you could do anything for me it would be the following; 1. dont cry. 2. big banners and cheering and jumping and balloons and confetti, are embarrassing. (at least at the airport) 3. dont forget that I am still a twenty year old. I stink. Don't clean up 100% of the time and yeah. So if you are expecting some perfecto.....then wait for Ry to get home :)  Goodbye to a good friend Brother Baumann  Last pday activity at the Porsche Muesum  (the first Porsche made )  missionary fun , trapped in the bedroom ...again  heartfelt love from the Ellwangen primary the Ellwangen District And this wraps it up ! well , I love you  see ya on Friday , For the Last time,  ELder Spencer

 A real live PORSCHE!  Schwabisch Hall  apartment view from Aalen , Germany   Church was good. I felt the spirit really strongly. Probably more that any other testimony meeting on my mission. It wasnt anything special that was said, but still powerful. There is a couple in the ward who recently had their first child, and she bore her testimony and said that children give us so much joy, and they are unbelievably dirty! haha Everyone laughed, but then she said that, that is just how our Heavenly Father thinks about us. He find so much joy in us, and when we get dirty, through sin, he provides us with the best possible cleaning supply. The Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that is true. We have a loving Heavenly Father who wants us to make the right choices, but when we mess up, just like a little child, he doesn't give up, he helps us to get clean, and learn from those mistakes.                 The final companion Elder Georgiev from Bulgaria

Ready to give it his all the final full week of the mission

 This is the "TRUNKY " letter telling this missionary he has done a great job and its time to wrap things up  Elder Georgiev and Spencer at a local Italian restaurant One of my Goals? Well, I am really trying on "continual prayer". It has really helped me here in the last couple of weeks. I mean, Im a missionary, and at no other time in my life will i be able to always be thinking about my savior, so while i have the chance I should use it. So, I have been trying to always have a prayer in my heart, and when I have a still moment, in a train, or where ever, just to offer up a silent prayer or something. its pretty good and something im working on!
