another week


We met this lady with the sisters. She is from South America and she was pretty sick, so the Sisters invited us to go and give her a blessing. So we went and got to know her, and then gave her a blessing. It was really awesome! She has two teenaged sons who are really cool! Hopfully we can help them come to church. It was also really awesome because a few days later this lady called the sisters and told them that she had a miracle!!! She was feeling better, and could do the things during the day with more energy and stuff!! Then she said, "Those two young men must be called of God or something!" hahah maybe?!?!?
 
 

After MLC we met up with our Sister Training Leaders (sister motto and peterson) and we went out to teach a romanian family. Now that I have a romanian comp, we keep getting used! haha it was really fun though. I didnt know what the heck was going on!

 

Saturday we did a service  project for a cool couple in the ward. They are about to get married. Then we headed to the church and did some planning with the STL's about Zone training meeting. That was really good. Our STL's are also really good. Just solid sisters, so thats great!

 

Then we headed out to Soccer!!! Every saturday! And its starting to work! There are about 4 guys who come every week and so we are going to try and get some teaching opportunites out of that. 

 

and then yesterday. Tons of visitors! Lots of americans! Ya know the usual! I got asked to play the organ, and it has been a long time since ive gotten to play in church so I made the best of it! Really pulled out all the stops! Then we came home and did some planning! 

 

So yeah that was my week. It was good. we are just about to hit the middle of the transfer grind. Exchanges every week, meetings to plan and stuff. I love being a zone leader and stuff, but sometimes i just want to go and get a golden, go to a tiny little area and WORK! Not have to worry about all of the other missionaries. But ill give it my best while i can! 

 

So yeah! I love you all! This is the work of the lord! It doesnt matter if other people baptize more just like it doesnt matter if someone on your team scores more points, because we all win the game!!!!

 

LOVE YA

Josh

(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

 I set a goal after Thanksgiving to read the Book of Mormon in English before I go home, so that is 6 pages a day. So I start with that everyday. 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 to
