Dear Family and Friends,
I will be transferred this evening to Haltom City, or the Hurst 3rd ward on a new assignment from President Whitney. He has called me to be a Spanish Training Leader (SPTL) and to serve with Elder Lopez, my fist native, who is originally from Chuaua Mexico! I am so excited and will be leaving to my new are this evening to be able to be apart of the transfers and the new missionaries coming in. Really it means more work and service, and a little bit better relationship with President and Sister Whitney and the office staff, and I am so excited for that!!
Well I hope you like how my week went!
Week August 1-7 2016
Monday:
Well today was such a wonderful day and blessing for us, and now we are just really wanting to help others to keep appointments and commitments so that they can make convents with God! So today we had a wonderful morning where we prepared super well for the week, and then we decided to go bowling and only payed 10 dollars for 2 games and lunch, it was an awesome time just us 2 bonding! Then we decided to go to the church where we played Basketball for most of the rest of Pday, and next week we will have a big combine P-Day! So after P-Day we were able to go and visit a lady in our ward who is just here from Puebla Mexico for a short time, but her family she stays with are not all members, so we made a plan on how we are going to help them to start learning about God! And after that we went and found the Luis family outside. They are a family we ran into by referral, and we had not had the chance to go back by, so we saw them and they were excited to hear what we had and we taught them the whole restoration, and the 10 year old was asking if he could be baptized, so we know that these kids in the family want a church, and the mother was slowly learning for herself that these things are true! So by the time we got out of there it time to get home, and as we arrived home our neighbor is also a Hispanic and his name is Beto Loya and he is the sweetest man I have ever met. He is caring and needs the gospel, so we are not going to teach him, but just talk to him about it. He was a wonderful way to end the evening!
Tuesday:
Wow, today was an awesome day! I was able to go on exchange with Elder Kochan in Burleson and we have been able to connect so well here as we have spent the day together! We went straight to work and had a wonderful lesson with a lady named Amy, who is a less active member. As we entered in her house and got to know her we learned that her husband is a Catholic and kind of pushes parts of his religion on her and she has just kind of decided to make up her own beliefs that she is comfortable with. So I asked her if she believed in the Book of Mormon, to which she looked at me with fullness of heart and said yes. So we taught her what it means to truly believe in the Book of Mormon, and she understood well, so we invited to her read more, and take the time to come back to church and participate in the blessings there, and she said she would work on it! Then we went and we had a wonderful dinner lesson with the Wattleworth family, who have 5 kids and the oldest who is a boy is getting ready for his mission! We became great friends and I got to know a Sister Cindy Price from Spanish Fork, and we then taught a powerful lesson about member missionary work, and did a role play with the whole family. It was super fun and they also were able to see it is easy to talk about the gospel with their friends! We are so excited to see how they do! After dinner we went to their soon to be baptized investigators house for the baptismal interview, and the 10 year old Kameron Garcia was so smart and responded wonderfully to the things I asked her, and even bore a short testimony about how the Book of Mormon has helped her. So to end she said the prayer and it was super cute, because she was so nervous, so I helped her a little and she was grateful for that, so I invited her to practice praying in front of her mom so she gets better and it was a good experience. As we got done with the interview I went in and found Elder Kochan teaching e mom how the Book of Mormon can bless her life, and she was very overwhelmed by how much it already had, and we had a powerful lesson on how the Book of Mormon is what connects us to the gospel found in the Bible. It was super best to be apart of!
So while driving home this evening the craziest thing happened! President Whitney called us over speaker phone in the car and called Elder Kochan to be a trainer at only 3 months in the field, but to me I am so grateful he was called, because he is a solid missionary, and so very ready for this call. Then as he finished up to my surprise President asked, "Is Elder Spendlove there?!" I said hello and he said, "Elder Spendlove, I would like to call you as a Spanish Training Leader for the Mission. You would be serving with Elder Lopez in Hurst. Will you accept this call?" And even though my heart was racing and I was so nervous and unsure with my mind all over the place I accepted and he told me how grateful he was for us and how much of a difference we will make in the mission. So all evening that I all that I could thing about, and now I know one thing for sure, I am going to be praying non stop for God to give me the gift of tongues. And I am learning that he whom God calls he also Qualifies!
Wednesday:
"God does not begin by asking us our Ability, but only about our availability, and then if we prove our dependability, he will increase our capability!" Neal A. Maxwell
This is a favorite quote that hangs on my wall with so many more from a great friend, and this evening after a good day I just had a lot of thoughts on how true this quote really is! So today was a bit of a slower day, but we had a wonderful district meeting where we did a finally testimony meeting before everyone was getting all separated at the next weeks transfers, and it was a super powerful testimony meeting where I was so grateful to have those in my district that I do, who have made my mission so much better and really helped me to become who I am! After our district meeting we took some amazing pictures, and then we went and grabbed lunch and took it to the FW 3 elders house and had lunch, however, most of the time I was on the phone with the SPTLS trying to figure out when I was getting picked up and what was going on, so I a, going with them all day tomorrow andFriday, and then I will be picked up Monday night to start off with my new calling, and I am super nervous! So I am praying super extra for my area, the missionaries and my language, so that I can translate in meetings that we will have without much problem and so that I can keep improving. So the rest of the day we went and did service with Marvin Mendoza, a young man from our ward, and I found out this evening that it gave me Chiggers! And I am a little itchy! So after that we had dinner at Torchies with Victor Jarrimillo, a wonderful member, and he was a lot of fun, just to crazy of a driver for me, so I got a tad sick! So this evening we received word that we have two more dates for October and we are above all our goals on Projected baptisms, so we have high hopes for our zone, and I am a little sad to leave at such a wonderful time! I love so much my zone and everything hey have taught me!
Thursday:
What a crazy day it has been. So I was picked up by the Spanish Training Leaders, Elder Parkin and Lopez at about 7:30 and then was taken to their area to start for the day where we started with a big New Leadership meeting, and it was super fun to be apart of. So to start off the day I left my iPad at my apartment, so I was out of an iPad all day, so I could take no notes or anything, and it was super crazy not having my iPad for note taking purposes! So we first helped to set up all the tables and chairs for the meeting, and then we went from there and gave a training for all those that would be training a new missionary, and really I thought it was wonderful being apart of the training process of these leaders so that they know how important they really are! I really am so nervous for this new position, because I don't feel ready or old enough, but after this wonderful time giving a training I felt a lot better about a lot of things! So after the training we went to the mission office for a few business items on what is called Transfer Doctrine where I was able to really see how the missionaries are put into their new areas through revelation and much prayer and thoughts! Also I was welcomed by Elder Bird, a good old friend from DENTON, and it was such a blessing, and still is that I can work with him! So after that we went out and had a wonderful dinner with a family, and hen headed back to the house for the night, and I just had such a blast with both Sptls all evening just laughing, and then I forgot to bring a small blanket on exchange, so I literally froze the whole night and didn't sleep well at all, so I just got up and walked around and would lay back down when it got better, but it was a rough night!
Friday:
Wow I completely forgot to write in my journal for this day, so you won't be able to really understand how my day was for me, other than I didn't sleep at all, because I was freezing all night, so I just walked around in the apartment to stay warm, waiting for them to wake up so we could go and play ultimate frisbee as a leadership at Trinity High school. So we had a blast play Frisbee and then went and set up for MLC and had a great MLC where I learned that president really understands his role, and what he wants for us is to just become simple in everything that we do! He knows we have so much knowledge, and now he just wants us to stop making things hard and complicated and just Simplify. Also he said something that really made me know that God loves me, he said, sometime we just need to get things taken care of so that we can be better followers of Christ. If you have an ingrown toenail, go and get it taken out! Out of all the things he said that, and I have been fighting just getting it taken care of, and that hit me, even just that simple and funny, that I needed to do it! So that is what we are going to do. So today after the wonderful meeting we as Sptls went to the office for a Transfer Review Meeting, and we stayed super busy for another hour just in his meeting getting ready for transfers and new missionaries and getting rid of old ones. So something I learned is that our mission is the only one in the world that has Spanish Training Leaders, because president Ames at the time had to ask for permission from the president of the 70s to be able to have a second set of so called Spanish APs, and it was a really cool meeting to be apart of! So the rest of the day we planned, taught and found people to teach and actually found a guy going through dialysis named Randy, and the part that amazed me was the fact that he was so opened and willing to learn more, and he thing he wanted to learn was about doing Family History more, and I was able to show him mine, and that was such a blessing that I knew how to! Today was such a tiring day, but also a blessing from God. May we never forget that God cares for each of us. Even if he tells us to repent by simple words said only by your mission president.
Saturday:
Wow, so today was a bit of a hectic day for us where we were very busy from studies to a dinner with Johnny, and really no set schedule. So today we went and had a wonderful lunch con Sunny Moreno, where we really enjoyed getting to know him even more, and even tho he is partially blind he is a great cook! So as we finished there we went to our Coordination meeting with the sister missionaries and Hno. Garcia, where we were able to to nail down a lot and testify of the need of a ward mission plan. It was a great meeting, and from that meeting our next day in ward council will be amazing as well. After this meeting we were able to mix of planning and reporting done, and it was just so hard trying to find he balance between administering and ministering, but we got a lot done. Then we went with Jhonny and had a wonderful dinner with him in a Chinese Buffet. Of course I was not able to eat a lot, but both Jhonny and my companion, Elder Langi, ate a lot, so they made up for my small stomach. So as we got done here, we realized we still had a report to get finished up and calls to make before the next day for our SMC meeting with President Rhodes in the stake, so we were driving and calling people and then fixing reports as we went to a family we felt we needed to feel. It was wonderful that they were home, and we had a wonderful time teaching the Luis family why we have a Book of Mormon, and we were there until around 930, so we had to rush home! It was a wonderful day, and really just flew by with how busy we were. What I learned that is that when you loose yourself in the work of the Lord, y begin to see things at his speed, and with his eyes and everything becomes so important and real!
Saturday:
What a crazy experience I am having. I almost feel that the reason I came back to Fort Worth was to strengthen the ward, and also to to strengthen my relationship with the people here, because I have had the hardest time saying my good byes today, and everyone has been getting teary eyed, even Hno. Carias, our first counselor to the Bishop, who is pretty wide built! So today at church we were able to have a wonderful ward council, where we were able to finally have a push for a ward mission plan, and as we testified about it, we got the support of the ward council, and the bishop more than anything, and it was just amazing to see how they were excited to use it! So we are expecting great things from the next few months that people spend here in Fort Worth! So today in church Hno. Garcia, our ward mission leader, gave a powerful testimony on Missionary work, and then began to cry as he expressed his love for us, and thanked each of us individually. I really don't like individual attention, because I am just serving God, but it made me so happy to see that our service really helped him understand how much we love him and the ward. I can testify that my companion and I, and The Hnas. Odell, Farnes, Tibbets and Whimple have put our whole hearts and souls into helping this ward grow and loving them, and it has been the most wonderful time that even I am struggling saying goodbye. So today after church we had a wonderful dinner with the Johnson family, and then went around and said good byes to the Vargas family, the Rivas family, the Trujillo family and the Martinez family. And something that made me so happy was that as we pasted by the Vargas house, Luis' sister was in town, and she is a Christian, so we talked about he Book of Mormon and invited her to read it, and she excepted it super well, and we are so happy and hopeful that she will read it and pray for the truth from God. And I think the thing that made me the most happy and sad was saying good bye to Jairo Rivas. He has been a huge example to me, and has really changed my mission! He always calls me Gringo, from a story he told on how every missionary in his hometown they called that relating them to the United States, and I would call him Casi Gringo, meaning almost white. Haha the last thing he said to me as I was walking out the door was, "Elder, you have no idea how you have changed this ward. Today I could feel the difference and how missionary focused our ward is, and I know that it was because of your love and desire to teach that our ward is where it is at, and the reason that my family is so happy and healthy, because you where here. Don't stop loving, and don't stop living what you know." I a, going to miss everyone, but I know that I have so much more to work on and many more people to meet! Now this evening all I am doing it packing my bags so I am ready for heading out tomorrow night!
I love all of you and pray for you daily, I hope you know that and really believe it!
Have a wonderful week, and know that I am doing great, and that my mission is just flying by!
1. Our pday bowling last week, and yes I won!;)

4. Lunch with Sonny Moreno! Being blind he is still a great cook!
5. Macho Man Carias. One of my most looked up to members in Fort Worth, Hno. Carias. He always messed with me because I am small!
6. The Johnson family, they were the ones we always scared while doing our laundry every Monday!
7. The Vargas family. The two boys will be baptized on the 20th, and Elder Langi is baptizing both of them! I count them as mine!;)
8. The Trujillo family. The are so close to their sealing, and just pushing it back, because she is due with her baby next week, and just miserable! I love them so much!
9. The Rivas. They have by far been the best for me here in Ft Worth. He called me gringo and I called him Casi gringo, and we just were best of friends!
10. Moma Martinez and the fam! They are the funniest family in the world, and she has been my mom always from moms! But never a replacement!:)
I will be transferred this evening to Haltom City, or the Hurst 3rd ward on a new assignment from President Whitney. He has called me to be a Spanish Training Leader (SPTL) and to serve with Elder Lopez, my fist native, who is originally from Chuaua Mexico!

10. Moma Martinez and the fam! They are the funniest family in the world, and she has been my mom always from moms! But never a replacement!:)
