Week 6

Saturday, December 3, 2016

Hey Mom,

I am good today. It was really weird to say goodbye to my teachers because I've come to really know and appreciate them for all they've done. I couldn't have asked for better teachers then Brother Machado and Sister Bennion. What great examples to me of how to follow the Lord. Thank you again for sending me those things I asked for. I loved all the food and I will look forward to sharing some of it because I can't eat all of that by myself. I am glad that all of you are doing good at home as well. I am super happy that Dad has had many opportunities with new jobs.  Good choice to surprise Emma with The Nut Cracker. She will Love it! And Esther is Esther and I'm so happy she is. I miss her little hugs and her bossy personality. It reminds me of me haha. And as for Andrew, I miss him. It's been most hard to not have him be there for me when I need a friend. And I think I have what he has. I have been sick since Thursday, when we did In-Field Orientation. Speaking of which, it wasn't that bad as I thought but when your'e sick, it kinda sucks. I also have my flight numbers for you in this picture so you can track where I am at in the world. I also have a phone card so be expecting a call from me on Monday around 1 or something. And that's awesome that you saw Kilee and Cristain and Pearl. I'm glad they are happy. I also have a package that I'm sending to you on Monday that contains stuff I don't need. There will also be a surprise in there. Anyways, I hope everything is going well. Send my love to the ward tomorrow and to Dad, Emma, Andrew and Esther. I miss you all and hope that the Lord will make burdensome things seem light. Have a good week and I will talk to you on Monday and see you in 22 days,...and counting.

Love, Elder Spencer John Nelson
