Querido Familia,
Muchas gracias por su correo. Tengo mucho feclicidad cuando estoy leyendo sobre ustedes. Mami te amo. Oro para tu cada dia. Te extraño mucho pero yo se que estoy donde necesito estar. I love being here mom. Its the best decision i think i ever could have made. I dont even know why people would ever pass all this up. Its a struggle as you know but even though there are a lot of bad times, there is always hope. I have a lot of hope for this area. We are trying so hard but the people are just very laid back. Its hard for them to understand the importance of keeping commitments. But I know i was called here for a reason. I know it wasn´t random. And i guess this is just the lucha. All we can do is work. I really love to read in the scriptures too. In spanish they are even easier to understand. I was reading about abinadi this past week. It was pretty obvious he knew he was going to die there and i to be honest he may not have known all the reasons why the lord had asked to do what he did, never the less he did it. He preached the word with power and authority and though was rejected by many he was able to touch one heart. Alma the mayor, and look at all the good that came out of that. I really don´t know everything but i know i have a sacred calling and i am going to fulfil it. What do you mean the time is going slow? its blowing by mom. My days sometimes feel like they are two hours long. Im really working hard and having so much fun along the way. They really love to play dominoes here. You often see a group of older people sitting around and playing a game ha it does make for easy contacting. Our pool is kinda growing. We get rejected a lot but if you read in preach my gospel it defines how our success is measured. WE have to be commited to find people. WE have to be commited to teach and to baptize and to reactivate. WE have to be diligent. I really love the obra mom. Church was different this week because it was district conference. President came and spoke at it and it was really amazing. He talked about the work of salvation. We did sing in the choir and it was pretty funny. I will definitely have some wonderful memories about it. We have one piano player and he is our zone leader Elder Gatherum. He is an american and hes not the one who cooks. Me and him do get a long really well though. This will probably be his last transfer here though because he is going home in january. Well things are sounding great at home. Keep faithful and strong.
With love,
Elder Spencer W. Hulsey
