Well...we got 9 inches of snow and being from Georgia,
that was a lot. So, we spent our week trudging through the snow,
tracting, and talking in British accents! Elder T____ and I have been
passing the time by speaking in British, Warshingtonian, Batman and
Joker, Russian, Italian, Indian, German, and Australian accents. Its
pretty entertaining, but it goes to show that if you go on a mission to
have the funnest time of your life (or to learn proper grammer and
spelling), you will be sorely disappointed. We had a few lessons, and
they were all spiritually uplifting. Well, I'm kinda reaching a point
where much is the same and I don't really know what to talk about.
Being positive is the key to these kind of situations though.
For me, being positive is an attitude of being grateful. We had a really
hard day this week. We had 4 appointments fall through. And so we
tracted for hours in the deep snow. We were pretty downtrodden. In my
evening prayers, I knew that to be happy, I needed to be more grateful,
so I told God many things, big and small, that I was grateful for. I'm
grateful for a wonderful companion, I'm grateful to serve a mission, I'm
grateful that we weren't hit by a car, didn't slipped on the ice, and
weren't impaled by an icicle. As I listed things, I became more happy
with the wonderful life I really do have. I know that as we are
grateful, we will see that God has blessed us with so much. I love you
all and hope you have a great, hopefully warm, week!
Love,
Elder Spencer Coleman
