update on spencer!!!

well all, sorry for the delay in posting for over a month! things have been crazy! i just thought that i would update you on spencer! he is loving his mission and doing great! here are just a few questions and answers about what's going on with him! :) enjoy!
Q:when does it get colder there or do you have a winter where you are?
A:well "winter" just started. it is not really cold. today actually has been the first day that it has been chilly. and when i say chilly i mean 70 degrees. but that is chilly for us down here.
Q:how many companions have you had?
A:well i am on companion number 9
Q:when are transfers, and how often are they?
A: well transfers are everysix weeks and the next transfer is the first monday in may.
Q:are you taking a lot of pictures (and if so... why have i not seen many?)
A:yes i took alot of pictures, but i dont have a camera anymore. i am have to buy a new one this week.
Q:what was a spiritual moment that you had this week?
A:my companion thought that we should go over this hill and then he said no lets just wait. then the spirit just told me to push him up over the hill. this was saturday. we found a woman who had been looking for the truth. the next mornign she came to church and she is going to get baptised on the 26th.
Q:do you ever get to go to the temple?
A: no but i wish i could. it is really far away. i can't wait to go again

hope you liked that! this is a message he sent for everyone..."this is just a big one to everyone to say that i am doing well and that argentina is great. i havehad some baptisms and really found people that wantto come unto christ. i love the mission and the person it is making me into. i have done everything to being chased by dogs to sweating so bad that my shirt was soacked to running 15 blocks to make it home on time to playing the guitar with my friends here. i hope that you are all doing good. i wantto know how you are all doing so if you can write me an email and or send some pictures. i love you all so much. i miss home but love the mission. i think nine more months is not long enough time to do what i love doing, preaching the gospel to everyone. ¡CHAU! ELDER SPENCER ANDERSON"

That is so awesome! Spencer sounds like he is doing great and I am sure being a mother of a missionary is a very proud thing! I can't wait!!:)
