Hola Family of eSpencer's!
Okay a few things:
1) I feel muy muy muy MAL! LO SIENTO ERIN!! I am the worst Sister
ever. I can not believe that I did not wish you a Happy Birthday ON YOUR
BIRTHDAY--On a P-day when this was a very possible thing to do. SO
SORRY! I STILL LOOOVE YOU!!!! We left the Library, and I was like...
NOOoooOOOOOoooo I am the worst Sister ever! I really did remember you on
your Birthday, and remembered that ahorita tiene 25 anos! Holy
Guacamole!
2) Ryan Dumas is in my thoughts and in my prayers! I hope that he
doesn't have to go home! Yikes. I'm glad the car accident I was in just
before leaving was nothing bad.
3) As is Floyd LeCheminant. Bishop Greg wrote me a letter and told
me all of the things going on in the ward, as well as the missionary
work, and as well as all of the weird changes from Taco Amigo. I'm sad
that Marge can't call those numbers anymore! She was so GOOD at it!!
"Number Seventy-three!..........
4) Mom, Please tell the ward members thank you for all of their
prayers and fasting. I definitely joined in with the fast yesturday, and
I can definitely feel the prayers of all of the ward members. Our
teaching pool has doubled, our feeding pool as well (ward members), and
we can definitely feel that the area of Rowlett 3 is about to see some
awesome things happen! Love y'all so much!
5) I probably will be able to skype y'all! Booo Yah! And I'm still
not sure what time. Just make sure you're home!! Jajaja. Just Kiddin'
Mom. I will probably call just after church, or dinner, or depending on
the night-- no se. Y quien sabe. No worries though mom, I WILL TALK TO
YOU! :)
And dulce # 6) I AM STAYING IN ROWLETT 3 OTRA VES CON MI TRAINADORA -- HERMANA JONES!!!!!!! It's a good thing we love eachother. Jaja. 4.5 months living together. Nadie mas. jajaja. I'm so excited for this transfer!
Okay, So this past week, I was reading el Libro de Mormon. Holy
Cow... I don't know if it's just because I am reading it in Spanish or
what, but I swear I have never read 1/2 of the things I am finding in
that book! SO COOL! Make sure that you're reading in it every day. Ok?
But ANYWAYS.... I was reading in a verse about having la fe y el
confianza (faith and trust) I love the world trust SO much better in
Spanish-confianza. Because it is more like having the Confidence in our
Savior that things will work out. And then having the faith in Him that
you will always be true to what you know. Also the difference between
the words testimony and conversion. Testimony--what you know to be true.
Conversion--always living, no matter what, that which you know to be
true. So Mom and Dad, I want to know how I can help these people,
Investigators, Recent Converts, Less Actives, Ward Members, How I can
help them to have a conversion vs. un testimonio. Mom, Like... what kept
you strong all of your years of being a convert to the church to never
waiver. You too, Dad! Ayudeme! :D Anyways... just something I've been
thinking about as of late.
Tonight we are having a Noche de Hogar with la Familia Gonzalez
(the members) and Rosa and Juan! Hermana Jones are in charge of the
lesson. Yay!! I'm excited! My sign language skills...are pretty sad, but
I do what I can! I make Juan teach me how to say things. Jaja, the
other day he WHIPPED out his phone and showed me how someone had just
beat the Jazz. NO! But secretly I am a little gratefuly that they aren't
doing so great. Because I wouldn't want to watch games that they lose!
No me gusta!
The only person at church yesturday was Cecilia Sanchez. Oh, I love
her! She is so cute! We are trying to get the Elders in the Rowlett
South area to go over to her house when her husband is home so they can
teach her (es una regla que no podemos entrar en una casa sin una mujer)
it's good, but they are never home at the same time! She was a little
bummed out yesturday that her husband couldn't come to church with her.
But she loves it! She's staying strong without her coffee, and she is
always reading her Book of Mormon!
As is Cleofas! Oh my goodness! I love going and visiting him! He is
the funniest 72 year old man there ever was! We gave him a chapter to
read in the Book of Mormon, and when we had come back, he had read like
1/3 of the whole book! He loves it! ("except for the chapter 12" he
says. jajaja) Too cute of an old man. The other day we asked him, "So
how'd you like the reading Cleofas?" Well I liked it a lot! It was
a whole lot better than Chapter 12!..." jajaja. He couldn't come to
church yesturday because he was up in Plano, but we called him that
morning and he told us that he had been reading "la doctrina" is what he
calls it ALL MORNING! I bet he will have the whole book read by the
time we go back to visit him on Wednesday. It's harder to go out to
visit him more frequently because he lives clear out in Wylie! (Our area
is huge)
Okay, well I am super excited to talk to y'all on SUNDAY! WOoop
Woooop! That'll be fun! That is super funny mom that you have a whole
list of questions, and it also doesn't surprise me at all. LOVE YOU ALL
SO MUCH!
con mucho amor,
HermANNA Spencer
