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

And for the first 1.5 years of the mission I read the German version and it took me forever! So it is cool to kind of read it faster this time and just get more of the story. There are so many things that you can study, that you sometimes forget about the plot. So yeah right now I am reading in the beginning of 3rd Nephi. And something that stuck out to me was how much satan tries to lead us away from the path, EVEN after spiritual experiences. These people had heard the words of prophets, seen signs and stuff and then they all turn wicked. Its amazing what can happen. So just because we have a spiritual experience doesnt mean that we are clear from temptation. I mean look at Jospeh Smith, or Moses. Each of them had incredible experiences with God, and then satan came and tried to steer them away. So yeah, after I read my 6 pages, I turn...
