So last p-day after I emailed me and my companion, along with so many other missionaries played soccer for like close to 3 hours and I probably should not have done that because that night I could not keep my eyes open during the Devotional. The next day our district did a language fast where we could only speak Spanish! It was really hard for me, but it helped a lot for the fact that I cant stop saying Spanish words now! My mind has definitely been changing into Spanish mode!
I also got Elder Lakey to join the choir with me, so we sing in a meetings once a week and we are singing tonight in a meeting as well. Tuesdays and Sundays are definitely the best week because they are full of so many spiritual meetings and movies that I get so much out of. Please family and fiends, do not forget that every member is a missionary!
Also this week Elder Lakey and I had the opportunity to teach a real investigator her first lesson. She was 16 and very scared, but as we got to know and love her we got her to pray with us and then the sisters in our district taught her second and got her to commit to baptism!! I am so excited for the decision that she has made and I pray for her every day!
This week the rain storms have been so crazy! We had a full day of just Lightning and Thunder and then another full day of hard rain, and days in between with just light rain! The weather is so perfect and everyone is so nice. That is the amazing thing about the gospel in the world.
So for the 4th of July everyone wore their red, white and blue ties and clothing and our meals were amazing! It was hard starting our fast that afternoon, but we started it right after we stood up and sang the national anthem in the Cafeteria with a very small flag. It made me realize how much I love my country even though we have struggles at times. Down here in Mexico there is a struggle everyday!
So Today I am emailing late because we had the opportunity to leave CCM grounds and go to the temple this morning. The temple is so big and the visitor center is probably the most elegant center I have ever seen! The feeling there was amazing, and while I was there I went to a little shop and bought a few gifts for the family!! I will try to get some stuff for everyone, because it is so cheap, but I may not be able too.
I hope everyone is getting their letters that sent me one and also Shauni and Shayli, I am not forgetting about your birthday! I got you both some gifts, but I cant send them until I get into the states! I love you all and thanks mom and Dad for the package!! Your support is what keeps me going everyday! I am praying for all of you!!
Con Amor,
Elder Spendlove
