Letter from Spencer 24 Oct 2011

hey fam, weve had a good week, we are having a suprise miracle baptism this friday , his name is marco, hes visiting and living with the espinosa family that are from mexico, he is here to learn english, and his family invited us over to help "teach him english" haha we have just been reading the book of mormon out loud he was never showing interest, we taught him the restoration and still he had no objections but not rally any interest , and then we had the impression to just read 3rd nefi 11 with him, and then everything clicked, he realized why the authority was important and asked if he could get baptized this friday! it was awesome hes a really cool kid, hes only 23.
besides that we have had kinda a slow week we have saw alot of people but noones really progressing, the church is just not in a good location for the poor black and hispanics it would take them an hour by bus to get there, all the churchs are in safe areas so usually not where we proselite.
mom you wanted to know more about my comp, his name is elder parsons, he is like 6 foot 3, really uncordinated, big computer gamer, hes shy, and he has dislexia which had made spanish really hard for him, which has actually helped mine, because i have had to talk alot more. hes nice though just not very social which is hard as a junior companion, but its ok i just have to act like the senior haha, hes not as fun as radmall but he will work and thats all i need to stay sane, well atleast so far haha.
mom i dont need anything and dont worry if i do i will ask and let you know.
dad, we didnt have zone conference every other tranfer we have interviews and then the next one is zone conference, it was good i learned alot and i think we will start seeing alot more success, it really is the last days. the first presidancy sent presidant an email that said basically you need to double your baptisms, cuz were not meeting the dead line haha, im not saying its 2012 but were gonna start seeing some crazy stuff probably even some new scripture, and we have to be humble and in tune enough with the spirit to accept it. anyways enough with that tangent.
everything is good here, i love it, but i still miss home, theres just nothing like it, ive never felt more love in a place then when you walk in the front doors of our house, thanks to the christ like love and sacrifice of our parents, mostly mom haha she just love everyone and everyting. love you mom , thanks for being the best.

love elder harris
