Spencer has offically finished his 2 weeks in the Missionary Training Center and is now in VANCOUVER! He had the chance to call us from the airport before he boarded the plane. It was soo nice to hear from him! He sounded really happy and excited to get started in Vancouver!
Here are some pictures and parts of his letters during the past few weeks!
My companions name is Elder Snelgrove and he is from
Layton Utah. Hes a cool guy and we get along good! The guys in my room Elder
Owen and Elder Nelson are also really sweet. The classes are interesting at
times but also can get really old and boring haha but i like to think im
becoming a better teacher
Dad, I do get to call home on Wednesday, and my
flight leaves at about 11 AM. So make sure everyones home until 11 cause I
really really want to talk to you guys. Mom, don't worry I didnt need the tape
or two sets of flat sheets. I also wont need those grey vans, just keep them
safe and dont let the boys touch them haha.
But everythings worked out great. Im just thankful
I have parents that love and care for me so much. I guess thats why I miss you
more then anything.
One thing thats helped me is just always finding
ways to serve and forgetting about my self. Dad, Im always trying to use your
advice and just get lost in the work. I pray as much as I can because I
realized very quickly that I wont be able to do this on my own. I try my best
to forget about home, but its really hard at times. I think im getting better
though and just recognizing that this is what Im supposed to be doing right
now. Reading your letters and realizing how proud you are in me has helped me
so much. Thats what keeps me going. Im pretty sure ive gotten a dearelder.com from you guys every single day so thanks so
much for that. It helps me knowing that you guys are thinking and praying for
me.
Its awesome Josh is in Vancouver,
and i am praying I will be able to see him that would be so awesome! I hope he
is doing really well.
Lauren, thanks so much for that note
you wrote me and all the letters you have sent me. You are an awesome older
sister and one of the main reasons Im here! Im trying my best to "shine
bright like a diamond" haha
Hey! My parents (your aunt Kathy and uncle Larry) are in the Richmond ward, where the mission office is! I'm sure you haven't seen them in years, but my mom is Grandpa B's oldest daughter. Make sure they have you over for dinner :)
ReplyDeleteGrandpa told us that they lived over there!! I will for sure tell Spencer to get a hold of them! That would be awesome! Thanks!!
