You guys are great. I love my family so much! Here's a hug to each one of you (even if I've never met you before).
I
got the packages this week when we went to Teguc to have a Zone Leader
Conference. I loved the ties! And Mom, I've lost no weight but I've
gotten taller, or so they say. The new suit will have to be fixed at the
bottom to be made longer (already!). And the pants you sent are great
but I'll have a tailor take them in so that they fit me better. Thank
you for sending those! :D I love the Peanut Butter sandwiches that I've
had in the past few days as well. I'm using the Homemade Repellent
everyday now and I think it's working. Right now there aren't hardly any
mosquitoes though (It's way too hot). You won't need to send anymore
probiotics. I think I've collected enough for the rest of my life but
thank you for sending so much. :D I don't have any problems with the
food right now. I'm super careful of what I eat and I'm really healthy
right now.
I'll write more about President
Nelson next week because I don't have my notes on me about everything he
said. But I think he made the comment on Family History work because it
ties everything back to Families can be together forever. It is the
glue that holds the Plan of Happiness together. Without family history,
we lose our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents and we lose
the opportunity to become mini-saviors on mount Zion. Those comments
have helped us as missionaries, focus on the goal. The goal is not
baptism. The goal is happiness. The goal is the Family. Just take for
example that the church has published two magazines in a row now just
talking about the family. The Family is very important because it unites
us all.
Dariela went to church last week and
loved it. She's not married with that horrible man though. They are
rarely married here in Honduras. Everyone lives in a free union. So
we've been visiting her and she let us know that her boyfriend doesn't
want her listening to us and so he told her recently that he won't pay
for her room that she's renting. And so we called her yesterday morning
to wake her up so she could go to church and she called us back and said
that she can't receive us anymore and she can't go to church or she'll
be shunned from her family and boyfriend and won't have any support in
this difficult time of hers. So we haven't gone back and we don't plan
on going back but the members know and will continue to be her friend
and visit with her. :D
We have an old lady
that wants to be baptized. She was talking to my companion (I was on
DVs) and they taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and she looked down and
was pondering and then looked up and said, "When was my baptismal date
for?" So she'll likely get baptized. I have to talk to President Bowler
about her though because she can't walk or sit for very long because
she's so old. So we thought we might be able to baptize her even though
she can't go to church consistently.
Elizabeth
and Danny separated and got back together again but for a good reason.
They want to get married and work through their problems now instead of
get made and throw in the towel. So I pray that this works out. But
Elizabeth's mom is made that they got back together. And Elder Laureano
and I were thinking, "Well you let them live with each other when
Elizabeth was 15 years old! And now you want to separate them after
they've created a family with three kids!" But Elizabeth's mom refused
to give her food because they got back together and that's frustrating.
Satan is working hard on destroying these families.
Tomorrow we have interviews with President Bowler. I'm excited for those! :D
Mom, President Oscar and Flores is the same person. Some call him Oscar and some Flores. So I use both.
Dad,
I'm feeling good and the work is moving on. I pray for revelation
everyday to be able to say or do something that will help these people
in the future so that they can have Forever Families! :D
Got
to go! Love you all! Sorry if I couldn't respond to everything but
sounds like you've all had good weeks.
Love,
Spencer
