September 10, 2012
I am doing good. I did feel the quake, but it was a side to side quake not up and down so it wasn't dangerous or anything, but it was super cool to feel!!! I loved it!. And I am no where near the volcano so don't fret. my comp is good. I love talking to Catholics especially the faithful ones that are open because they are really loving.
But ya the mission is pretty great. I learn a lot every day. We had a multi zone meeting this past week. Holy cow! We have the truth! That is something pretty exciting. We have allllllll of the blessing God can give us and we can be 100% prepared for the day we see God. Sometimes it sounds like a fairytale, but that's because it is.
Spanish is better, I am feeling more confident I just need to study hard. pray. and practice. I want to leave with perfect spanish. but it probably wont happen because the spanish here isn't that great. I did know about Peyton (Manning). I was at a house and someone was flipping the channels and passed ESPN and I saw him in orange and almost threw up.

Update July/August
At the end of July, both Spencer and his companion were plagued with stomach problems. I think he might be still adjusting to the food. They had some great learning opportunities when a sister from the church came down to provide extra training for the missionaries. Spencer said, "Its really hard to be the missionary that you want to be. No one ever tells you about how hard the mission is in that sense." I know he is trying really hard to be the missionary he knows he should be. After this training meeting he and his companion had a terribly tough time getting back to Nandaime. All the buses were full and no taxi seemed to be going that way. They were blessed when they came across a taxi driver headed home that way who gave them a ride.
Spencer was adamant that his sister's baby was going to be a girl. He was right, and very proud of it.
Spencer had a companion change. He is still in the same area, which he is really excited about. He is enjoying getting close to the members and understanding the area. Now, he is training! After only a single transfer. His companion is from Guatemala. So at least one of them speaks perfect Spanish. :) However, Spencer has mentioned that his Spanish is getting much better, still not perfect though. He is loving the learning opportunities he has a trainer.
More updates to come. Promise.
