Hey Everyone!One more has past by and we had ourselves a really good week this week. I would to say that i really ejoyed it. But first how is everyone doing? How is the family? How is the world? How is our country? How is the sports world? I didnt hear anything about that this time. But i hope that everyone is doing good. I really love you all and i thank you all for everything that you have all done for me while i have been on my mission.We had some pretty good experiences this week. On Saturday we probably had the most marking experience of the week. We woke up and studied and went about our normal day and then left to work. And we went to our first appointment with Gilson and Marcilene. We went knocking doors in an area on Friday and we found this family. But they were leaving their house so they marked with us to return on Saturday. So we went to their house first thing in the morning. And it was na AMAZING experience. The Spirit was most definetly present during the entire lesson. And after the lesson Marcilene said that she was looking for a church and that she didnt like the churches that she had already visited and attended. And she proimised that she would go to church with us and she did. So on Sunday we went to their house to take them to church and Gilson told us that he felt something different when my companion was teaching the first vision and he said that there was no way that he couldnt believe that it is all true. He said it is true what you guys taught us and Marcilene said the samething. She went to church and loved it and said that she is going to return next Sunday. It was na awesome experience to feel like you are being used as na instrument in the Lord´s hands. And we trully felt that when we were teaching them. They are na awesome family and already have a testimony that these things are true. So we are going to continue to visit them and in a few weeks probably baptize them.We also had some cool little experiences during the week when we felt the spirit really strong in our lessons and we found some cool new people to teach. We are going to have a baptism on Sunday, Nelito is going to be baptized. He has been investigating the church for a long time and now wants to be baptized so he is going to get baptized on Sunday. We had a pretty interesting experience last night in the rain.....it rained a ton last night and because of that we ended up having to cross na overflowing creek bare foot. Because our area is really big and he have a routine route that we take everyday to get to one part of our area. And we always have to cross this little creek. And because of the rain it was way flooded and the water had carried our normal crossing log with her. So we wandering upstream in the dark at night looking for another way to cross the creek. And we found one.....a wobbly log that didnt look very safe, with water flowing both over and under it. And our shoes were full of mud so we knew that if we tried to cross we would end up in the creek. So we decided to take off our shoes and socks and cross it bare foot. And after struggling a cross we both made it safely but our feet were so dirty that we decided to walk to our next appointment bare foot with church clothes. So people we lughing at us during and after we crossed the log. So that was pretty interesting experience.But i hate writing letters because i always remember tons of cool sutff that happened before i write. But when i sit down i forget eveything.....so i am sorry. We also had Zone conference again on Monday and we both really enjoyed that. They talked about planning and goals. And both my companion and i were thinking that we would do a little bit better in both those aspects. So we are doing better and trying to better too. Haha i just remembered something else that happened on Monday too. We got on the wrong bus to go to the conference and ended up on the other side of the city. When we were waiting for the bus we saw a bus that was going were we wanted to go so we got on it. But we didnt look at were else it was going. So it happened that it went to the other side of town first. So we ended up arriving way late at the conference as well. It was pretty funny. Both my companion and i got a little bit of a laugh out of it. But it also was a little bit annoying. But....Mom, i hope that everything is going good and that you and Kaya and lving life. Things here are going good. Things are going pretty good here. My companion and i are getting along great and we are working a ton. We ran into some problems with the Bishop because he doesnt want to help evandro. We do pass by his house all the time to help him and are trying to find someone in the ward that is willing to help him as well. And dont worry, i understand that it is both my companion and i that teach the people. But yeah......i hope that everything is good. And yeah apply to those schools for me and i think that i am going to go sutdy Economics as my major. So if on the application they ask for my major put that. Because i think that is what i want to study. But yeah.....things are going good. Dont worry to much about me but i love you all and i hope that you all have a great week.
With Love, Elder Spotts
