Elder Spencer Halls

Hello family and friends,  And also any enemies that might be reading as well, Haha just kidding we are all friends here! I need to start with an apology of the lack of photos or as sounds way cooler in Russian отсутствие фотек. This week I will send more pictures to make up for my mistakes.  Dalshe, which means дальше which means further: This week was a joyful week as is every week in the service of the Lord! If we're talking happenings there were many of them. There were also some sadder happenings but as the Lord's hands, we can't be too sad when things don't go the way want because we're just hands. We just do the work we've been called to do! People A lot of the people that we have been teaching the last month or so kind of stopped lessons with us this week. One is going back to his old church. The other signed up for this service thing in a different church and quit his job and is using all his time there. So that was sad to see the 2 ...

Well well Welcome back to the weekly email family and friends and any guests who might read as well! ;) Another week is in the books and I'm still working on getting it in my journal because I'm a little behind there but it's in some books somewhere. This week was really great!! We got work done, learned a whole bunch, exchanges, activities, lessons, prophets, and apostles. Lots a good things going on for sure! Let's get into it: Happenings So I mentioned a little bit northward of these sentences we had some exchanges this week! They were absolutely great!! I had 3 to be exact. On Wednesday I was with Elder Hansen from Orange county! We worked really good together and had some great successes that we saw together- super excited! He's a stud of a missionary. On Thursday I was with Elder Mamajanyan who is from Armenia. He's the coolest! He works so hard and super effectively! He's a great example to us all. Both these exchange...

The Rundown Monday: meeting with President Wirthlin/ Zone Conference prep Tuesday: Dnipro Zone Conference / 2 mini exchanges Wednesday: South Zone Conference / mini exchange  Thursday: mid transfer training  Friday: Exchange with Elder Stosich on Left Bank Saturday: normal day featuring wedding service project. Sunday: CHURCH!!  Now that you're a little more familiar with what the week looked like. Let's get into the details All the Good Stuff in Between We had a couple of really great Zone conferences it's always a blast to be around all the missionaries we have so much fun each time for sure!! And we also learn so much together and this time was nothing different. It's also an opportunity for us as leaders in the mission to teach and instruct in different parts of the conf...

Здравствуйте! дорогие братья и сёстры  Я надеюсь что, это письмо найдёт вас  в хорошем состоянии. Haha hello everyone!! This week was a really good one as always! We stayed super duper busy! Which is actually a huge blessing so can't even complain. A промежуток времени in Odessa So on Monday following some rigorous report devising in the office we arose from(из) our собственных chairs(ов) and began to descend onto the street using the elevator. We then walked in(в) the direction of the Вокзал(or train place) as we occupied ourselves with ходьбой(walking) we also spoke with people about the gospel. Using "the sword of the Spirit; which is the word of God:" Eph 6:17. In our small amount of time before the time of departure arrived and it was time to leave. We spoke with many different people who each had different backgrounds and live in different homes with different people and different circumstances. While all these people were not the same one of them di...

Another week is in the books here in Dnipro, Ukraine! It's been a really great week. The first week of the transfer has already come and gone First week The first week of the transfer is always pretty hectic because there are many meetings for all of the new leaders/trainers/missionaries and it's also the week that we have MLC so basically all in all there was a whole lot going on this week. Sometimes it kinda feels like we are staring out of the window just missing being out there on the streets. In despite of those feelings and the lack of us on the streets of Dnipro this week we got work DONE! Lots happened this week! Missions are Forever We had 6 missionaries end their missions at the beginning of this week and one of them was headed home to a different part of the world. So while everyone else had a early flight tuesday morning he had about a 1 o'clock flight in the afternoon. His only desire was to spend the whole morning contacting. So we left ...

Alright everyone get ready because I'm coming at you quick this week ;) Week: Fantastic Days: Not long enough Hours: Chalked full Minutes: Priceless As for the happenings of this week I'll get into more detail a little later right after the spiritual thought (mixing it up this week). Spiritual Thought  We were contacting and as we walked down the street I had a moment where I was looking ahead and saw a man just standing on the side of the street and I had the strongest feeling just of Heavenly Father's love for this man. I just really could feel how much He loves this brother. And as I got closer I went up to have a conversation with this man and he just rejected us and even said a few rude things. But that feeling of Christlike love for this man stayed. It was a huge testimony builder for me in that small and simple moment that would be so easy to just let pass by, how infinite and unconditional Heaavenly Father's love is for his chil...

Alright everyone I don't know if you're all even ready to hear about a week as great as this one was. We'll just have to wait and see how many of you can make it all the way through reading this one... Well we've got to start with some stats again from this week. Hugs with drunk men: 1 Watching Elder Rasmussen be chased by a drunker man: 1 Speaking Russian with and Englishman in Ukraine even though we both better know English: ✔ Candies distributed: 2 2 Elders and big dreams 2 дня (that's days for you non Russian speakers): AKA Лошади на площади (horses on the square)(in Russian its cooler because it rhymes)(try throwing it in the Google translate) Alright this week we had big plans we cut 2 days out of our schedule so that we could spend them 12 hours sight and sound contacting in the busiest place in the city. Yeah the central square. I won't lie I was afraid at the beginning 24 hours of contacting in 2 days is a heavy load.  But it was ...
