Spencer, I love reading about your mission! You DO like that tie, doncha?
I'm glad you're not afraid to sing to share the spirit--you need to thank your parents for having such a musical home!
Keep up the good work!
Spence that is the ugliest tie and that is probably why it is your favorite. I noticed in another picture you let your comp where that tie.

Long time. I just saw Jennifer this weekend and she told me she keeps your blog up and running. I'm glad to see you're doing well. Keep up the good work. I'll be checking back soon.
The hymns helped me a lot while I was a missionary. Koreans love to sing, but they loved it when the missionaries would sing to them.
