Q: what was your last baptism like?A: the last one was so good. we completed a family. this boy was not going to get baptised and his dad wasn't going to let him. but we taought them that it is better to walk in the light then alongside it.

Q: who is your companion...isn't it transfers?A: my companion was elder baty. the best companion i have ever had or will ever have. he is the best i am a better man and person because of his example. my new comp is elder stone. i know him and he is really awesome. i know that we are going to work hard.

Q: Where exactly are you?A: i am going to be in this place called San Pedro de Jujuy. it is in the northern part of aregentina. and it is the coldest place in the winter. oh yeah i am so exited. i love the cold.

Q: what is your favorite hymn?A: Lead Kindy Light. or DIvina Luz in spanish.

Q: how have you seen hymns bring the spirit?A: No one can sind really well. and the branch that i am in just loves to hear me sing. and that is a good thing because i love to sing. we were out looking for less actives and we found this old elders quorum president. we just shared a short message and the i sang a hymn for him. (a poor wayfary man of grief)( that might be how you spell that in english.) and the next day he was in church. he has been inactive for years. he thanked me for the hymn and i know that through those sacred words and music a mans life was changed forever.

Q: Have you ever just randomly sang songs when people let you in their house?A: Yes my comp always says, "hey would you like to hear my comp sing?" people love music but are not singer so they always say yes.

Q: what gospel priciple are you studying this week?A: Humility. i love it. i feel the spirit more when i humble myself. it is probably one of the hardest christ like attributes.

Hey all! spence is doing so great! these are just a few questions that i had for him... he's so good to answer them. you should post any questions that you have, he loves to answer them! (: he sends his love and misses you all! also, thanks to those who are posting! lets keep it up! he really loves the comments!

Q: so... what is your fav scripture this week?

A: yes actually i do. it is alma 34:32. It is really good. It talks about how today is the day of our salvation. I have just learned that we never know when we are going to be done. So we just have to work hard every single day. You know. Try and just do our best.

Q: how has your testimony grown in your work?

A: well I have really come to realize that we are truly gods children. Like our parents he wants the best for us. He I there all of the time to help us. That is such a blessing. I know that I have taken it for granted. i love my heavenly father.

Q: where do you find the most joy?

A: I find joy in knowing that I have a forever family. And that they will always be there for me. It also brings me joy to know that one day I will live with my heavenly father again.

Q: do they have cold cereal there? if yes.. what do you like?

A: Yes they do. There really isn’t that good of argentine cereal but they have a little bit of America. Trix, cookie crisps, frosted flakes. So yeah I like those but I like this argentine one called copas de maiz.

Q: do you like kool-aid?

A: did you really have to ask that. Of course I like kool-aid. You should send me some. I prefer grape and tropical punch.

Q: what have you learned about the atonement? You said that the talk your mission pres gave was amazing.. What are some of the things that you learned?

A: I have learned so many things about the atonement I would need a whole paper to tell you what I have learned. But to make it really simple. The atonement brings us eternal joy and happiness.
