Dear family of Elder Spencer-
We are delighted to tell you that Elder Spencer arrived safely in Munich this morning. He is tucked away in bed now after a long day of orientation.
We thought you might enjoy these pictures from this evening. His new companion is Elder Botcherby, and they will be serving in Bruck an der Mur, Austria.
We are thrilled that he is here and are very impressed with his preparation and enthusiasm. He will be a great missionary. Thank you for all you have done to help him become the fine young man he is today. We love him already, and we will do all we can to help him grow as a missionary and have a successful mission. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. May the Lord bless you and your family at this wonderful time of missionary service.
Sincerely,
President and Sister Miles
Alpine German-speaking Mission
The New Arrivals!
 Brand new excited missionaries

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 to
