Letter from Spencer

well family this week was a doozy, we have had a ton of success coming out of no where, its been awesome, but sadly its been with all americans, with this new law coming out in january here i dont think there will be a devision between spanish and english speaking missionaries they are all leaving, the law will make it impossible for a ilegal hispanic to live here, imagine what the jews would have to do in world war two and thats what the hispanics will have to do here , but anyways enough of that.

this week we put seven people on date.  We had a couple, (hispanics!!) come to church and during spanish class the second hour they got attacked by the whole class when asking questions about the preisthood cuz they’re catholic and their preists are a lot different than our priesthood and so they were way confused.  We have an apointment with them tuesday, hopefully they were not offended.

and now the cool crazy part, mom dont freak out i will always be safe, haha.  so we had an apointment with some less actives at six in the heart of the ghetto, the second we got out of the car we were talking with like the entire neighborhood, when we started talking to one guy every kinda started going back to there houses once they realized we were church people and not the police, while talking to this man who we now have a return appointment, there was two muggings behing my companions back and about 2 drug deals, and behind my back there was about 4 drug deals my comp said , but all the people were nice to us, i promise mom, black people love church people , especially the gangs,

and then after we talked to him we headed to our appointment late of course, then another guy started talking to us so we talked to him for about thirty seconds before this guy comes up to us and asks us if he can use our phone cuz he just got stabbed, and sure enough his bare chest was covered in blood, the old man, about sixty, was just sitting there calm with two stab wounds one in his rib and one in his back , there were not too wide but they were deep, it looked like someone stabbed him with a pumkin carver knife, anyways long story short he got stabbed by some crazy gay guy cuz he would not have relations with him and we didnt get to our appointment untill about 830 cuz we were helping him. but it was good because ron (the male) was not there untill we knocked on the door, thats when he pulled up, and with him his brother and his brothers wife, who we then taught a lesson cuz there not members , and they’re on date and its awesome.  They will get baptized.  Crazy right?  God made us do all that just so we could teach two people, but hey i wont complain haha sorry if that story does not make sense.  And now that i think about it i wont send it to Mom.

love spencer
