Elder Spencer Halls

Alrighty alrighty folks looks like another week has came on through! I'll let you know a little bit what we've been up to! Sickness is not a weakness So my awesome companion Elder Trounce this week sadly came down with a fever on Monday and then was out of the action Tuesday as well as the fever morphed into some crazy nausea stomach stuff. When that was going on it gave me the opportunity to make like probably 200 calls Hahaha.. It was a lot but in all it taught me a really big lesson  about missionary work! We can do missionary work and accomplish our purpose in so many ways! But the thing I noticed more than anything else was the joy that comes as we do all we can to bloom where we're planted. Maybe inside our apartment isn't the best place to be effective. However, because that was where we were gonna have to be as I put forth all the effort I could focused on what I was doing I did all that work so happily and I felt great power and the spirit with me al...

I feel like SOOO much has happened since last week and then at the same time the time just flew by! I'll try to do my best and keep you all in the loop of what we were up to this week! The transfer calls came and our whole district is staying!! Which is awesome we're gonna get stuff done!  Table Shopping Alright, so we have this super massive street in Nikolaev which is like the place to be! It's busy all the time except for mornings but like we're talking busy busy busy. Then the double bonus is it's not busy because it's like the main street or anything it's just busy because it's a really pleasant place to walk. So prime place to find if you are all getting the picture. We wanted to try out doing a Book of Mormon table on this street but the problem was we don't have a table!!! So that's a big problem in this situation. On Monday we went table shopping and we found a nice little guy for 963 hyrivnas. He worked like a champ. We fo...

Well everybody another sunny/rainy/super warm week has come and gone in Nikolaev and it's been good! This week was a little quiet on the work side of things we had a bunch of meetings fall through but there we also tons and tons of tender mercies and miracles! Finding in the Park One of the days this week we looked ahead to the forecast and saw that rain was gonna be coming in at around noon so we decided to get out as fast as we could after this knowledge. Elder Trounce felt like we needed to go to this certain park and so that is what we did! We got there and we literally could not see anybody! But we had gotten a prompting and we knew that at least one person was in this park we needed to talk to. So we started searching looking for someone and in the far back corner of the park we found this middle aged man sitting on a bench! We had a super good conversation with him! It wasn't his time yet but it was a huge testimony builder about following promptings and faith! ...

Alright everyone another week has come and gone and it's time to tell you a little bit about how this week went for us! Time is cruising!  This weeks I've got a couple of good stories for you! A Juice Box Miracle To fully grasp this story we need to send it back to about 5 weeks ago. But actually first you got to know some background knowledge about Ukraine. In Ukraine the juice industry is healthy. Very very healthy, there are sooooo many kinds. Multi-Fruit, Multi-Vitamin, Banana-Apple, Blueberry-Apple, Banana, Pineapple, Peach-White Grape, Pineapple-Apple. The combinations are endless I don't think I can try all the different flavors in the amount of time I have. Then on top of that there are even a plethora of different brands, sizes of boxes, sometimes the juice even varies. For example, one day your Multi-Vitamin might be a little more appley than normal, or maybe there's some extra banana... Sometimes we even mix juices -- you of course have to be caref...
