30 day challenge

MY LOVELY HUMANS-

WHAT A WEEK!!!!!!  Hermana Højholdt and I ran around getting everything done and saying goodbye and teaching last minute lesson before it was her time to go ): She went on the complete other side of the mission but I have been so so blessed to have been her companion.  She taught me so much more than I ever would have thought when we started here in Jerez.  She taught me so much about how to love, how to testify, how to find, how to trust in the lord, how to teach and how to really be a missionary.  It was sad seeing her go but it was nice because I just got to say, "see you on Monday!!!"  And I will get to see her later today :-)

HERMANA TAGGART IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.  We are having waaaaay too much fun and we are already best best friends.  She's really obedient and diligent but also CRAZY so you can bet we're having a grand time.

We've seen so many miracles!!!!!!!  Hermana Taggart has an obsession with contacting ((especially like young adults)) so we've been talking to everyone and seeing real fruits from it.  We have a lot of futures that have a lot of potential and we will definitely be visiting them this week.

Aroa passed her interview and is all ready to go!!!!!  She's so nervous but so excited so we are really pumped for her :))  Her baptism will be this Saturday at 6:00.

Rocio is also ON FIRE.  I truly believe she is a 30 year old trapped inside a 10 year old’s body.  We went over to their house this week and she told us she had read 1 Nephi 10 and that it "really inspired her."  She said she felt something really special and then heard a voice that said, "Rocio, you're ready to get baptized.  You know it's true." !!!!!!!  She is 100% prepared and set on getting baptized so we are

putting her in white and making it happen next Saturday.  We were going to do it this week with Aroa but that turned out to be complicated so we pushed it back a week.  We are trying to help Rosa but she's having a harder time feeling sure about it.  She wants to know it’s true but isn't doing her part in reading and praying every day to receive an answer.  She could use extra prayers!!!!  We're hoping that Rocio’s baptism will give her a little more animo.

I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life.  I love being a missionary.  I love the gospel and the happiness it brings me.  I love watching the change that happens in other people.  I know with all my soul that Jesus Christ is the savior of the world and he lives.  He can bring light and love into anybody's heart if we just let him in.

I love all of you and I don't think I will ever be able to express my gratitude for your love and support.  The only way I can really say thank you is by inviting you to read the Book of Mormon to feel the same love and joy that I feel every day.  I read a talk the other day and it invited everyone to do a 30 day challenge of reading the Book of Mormon.  I started doing it and I want you guys to join me :)) Here's what you have to do:  Daily kneel and thank your Heavenly Father for the scriptures.

Tell Him the one question you most need to have answered that day.  Plead to have the Holy Ghost with you as you read.  Then open your scriptures anywhere, and read until you find the answer.  Try it for 30 days and see what happens.  I have found SO MANY ANSWERS.  My companion gets so excited every day for me to tell her what I found in the "magic book of answers."  It's true!!!  All of it!!!!  And I promise there is not a book on earth that is more true.  Just read it and find out for yourself.

Besitos,

Hermana Spangler
