Hola! Como estan?? Espero que se encuentren super bien!
It was an interesting week. Monday and Tuesday we worked good and strong. But then on Wednesday my comp got sick with el gripe. Basically a bad cold. He was knocked out for a solid 2 and a half days. All work stopped. I tried to call a ton of people and set up lessons etc, but nothing worked. Our house is squeaky clean now, all my shirts and pants are ironed and are now smoother then the lawn after the first blanket of snow. It was a bit frustrating being stuck in the house and the work I was trying to do didn't bare any fruits. But the Lord blessed us. Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday we were able to meet all our goals, on top of getting a service done! We felt blessed.
For the service we harvested olives, we unloaded sacks of potatos from a truck, helped set up for a birthday party, and more! My favourite was harvesting olives, I got to be in nature, the view was breathtaking and I got to watch the sunset well picking olives. My mind went to the olive garden of Gethsemane where Jesus Christ started the Atonement. Dyc 19:18 "Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink." I thought about this as I was amongst the swaying branches of the olive tree, my heart filled with gratitude and awe of the marvelous sacrifice of my Saviour Redeemer. In my time in the mission I have grown closer to Jesus Christ. He is my friend. My teacher. My shepard. He is the way. I testify of this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Challenge of the week: send a message to someone you haven't talked to in a while.
Love you all! Elder Spencer
