Hey Mom,
How are you doing today? I am doing well. I am better than in weeks past, but my body and mind are getting tired. It´s kinda wearing on me all the work that I have to do, and it doesn´t help that sometimes me and my comp aren´t the greatest. But things will improve. They always have and always will, if I focus on the Lord.
How were your meetings in Praia? They were good. We had just one, which is the council of the mission leaders and it was good. It´s become normal now to be in those meetings, so i guess that´s god.
What has the week been like? This past week was pretty good. We didn´t teach a whole lot, because of the meeting in Praia, but it was a good week anyway. There were some good moments and some not so good moments but overall it was a good week.
How was Sunday? My Sunday was pretty good. We had a cool experience actually that I will share in a bit. But it was a good day.
What are you doing today on your p-day? Today nothing really. We just went and got some information on a wedding and did our shopping and now email. But other than that, nothing else. Just relaxing and extra studying in the house.
Now for the experience last night. So, as I was pondering about what the Book of Mormon means, the word "Sacrifice" came to my mind. Then I thought of it more, and made the connection as to why that specific word came to my mind. So I wrote down my thoughts (which I will share in a bit) and then went to church. And while at church, during the sacrament, the same word came to my mind, but this time on the account of the Savior. So I bore my testimony(cause it was fast and testimony meeting) about this word and how we need to be willing to sacrifice what we dearly love to the God we love even more. It was a cool connection. Then, last night, we had a family night and I had the spiritual thought. So I shared it about when Ivwas pondering about the BOM. And can I just say, that was one of the most powerful family nights I have ever been apart of. The spirit was so strong that even the people in the rom put away their phones, which here is not a easy task to do. So, all I can say is that the Book of Mormon is true. It is soo true. And I made a promise to myself that I would defend it and my Savior and His chosen Prophet, Joseph Smith, and His church, no matter what the cost. It was super powerful. So anyway, that was the highlight of my week. So, if you want a powerful experience, spend a few days studying about, then pondering, then writing down what the BOM means to you, and you will have an experience you will never forget.
Love you Mom. Thanks for all the help yo have given me and support. Hope this week si awesome.
Love Elder Spencer John Nelson
