Bom Dia! How is everyone doing? I hope that all is well. It sure does sound like things have been going pretty good. And that makes me happier knowing that everything seems to be going good. I sure do miss you all, but things here have been going pretty good. I am getting really excited to watch general conference. And we have been planning on taking a ton of people. We starting talking about it and inviting everyone a long time ago so a lot of investigators are going to be able to make it. And it helps a lot that the ward here is going to take a bus to the stake center. So we wont have to take all o four investigators to the stake center, but just the bus. So we are pretty excited about that.This week was pretty good and little bit interesting. We were able to mark another baptismal date. There is a yound kid(14) that hás a bunch of friends that go to church and he told us that we wanted to be baptized. He has already been attending seminary and he plays soccer with the young men in the during the week and has been progressing really well. Which is good, his name is Wendell. He is pretty cool kid. But we marked one date and we lost another. The girl that is madly in love with my companion got mad at us because he doesnt want to date her. And said that she didnt want us to pass by her house anymore. So we starting going to her house to teach her sister. And they are going to go to conference with us Sunday. General Conference is going to help a ton. Because we have been teaching a ton of families and a ton of people that have doubts and stuff. But i know that the conference is going to swipe away all their doubts and questions. So we are planning on taking 10 investigators....atleast. we also started teaching all the members that live in our area how to invite their friends and family members. So the members are all planning on taking atleast one person with them as well. So if everything goes as planned there are going to have a ton of people visiting at the conference which is going to be awesome.Today we are also having a Zone get together to try and excite the elders and chill out a little bit. So we have a TON of elders sleep at our house last night. Which was a little annoying because i had sweeped the entire house and then they all came in and messed it all up again. But that is just the way things have got to be, so i am going to have to clean it again after everyone leaves the house. Last week on p-day after i wrote to you guys my companion and i also went to Pizza Hut to celebrate his 20th birthday. Which was AWESOME!!!! I was able to taste a little bit of home in every bite  but pizza ended up a little expensive. But it was worth it. We had a blast. And it was funny, because my companion wanted to take a ton of pictures and Elder Mills didnt like that too much because it makes us look like tourists and Elder Mills being from a small town doesnt like to call to much attention. So Mills was making fun of him and telling him to put the camera away. It was pretty funny.And on Saturday we had a little bit of a funny experience. We were all walking to lunch ando ut of no where Elder Mills was like i gotta poop. So i asked him if he wanted to go back home, but he said that he didnt, and that he would wait until after lunch to go to the bathroom. So we went to lunch and after lunch it got worse and he was like rushing with my companion. But i stayed behind them with Elder Souza because i didnt want to walk fast. And it started to rain and i got pretty wet and it left the roads all muddy. But elder souza and i got home after the other two and we say elder mills shoes outside the door and they were all muddy. But Elder Souza looked at me and said......Será que ele se cagou.......(Do you think he pooped himself?) and sure enough elder mills was in the bathroom taking a shower because he had filled his shoe with onions and tomatoes. It was hilarious!!!!But yeah....Things have been going pretty good. I dont really have anything to complain about, except for the fact that all my leaders are all over me because my companion and i had a really rough transfer. We didnt baptize anyone and my leaders are asking me all these like what are going to do different and i finally got upset and told them to worry about their own areas. Because my companion and i have been working hard but we havnt had any luck in finding people that want to accept the gospel. And it has been hard, and i also dont teach people just to baptize them and let them fall away. I alone baptize people that are trully ready and that really are going to stay in the church. And there are a lot of elders here that just baptize and let their baptisms fall away. Like in one area close to mine one elder past through and baptized 30 people but no one is going to church any more. And i dont see the point in baptizing without helping them to stay in the church,But i love you all and i very thankfull for all that you have been going. Keep up the good work and pretty soon i will be at home. I love you all and send hugs to everyone. I sure do mis you all. With Love, Elder Jory Spotts Ps. The stuff that you sent me was good. but you didnt get me the information for all the schools that i put on the list. but thank youas.
