Elder Spangler - PERU PIURA Mission

What in the planet earth is going on everyone. It's been a great week, fast, and not too eventful. But hey, gotta get an email out for my fans. This week hasn't consisted of many events or funny things, mainly just progress with our friends we are teaching.  Before that, here are some random notable mentions: -Went to the beach and my neck got cooked -Found what looked like remnants of Davy Jones' beard -Ran into two guys from England -Tried to steal a beautiful Tabasco brand tie from another Elder but came up empty handed -Ate some delicious food, consistently -Bought a sick new poncho Number one thing. We had a baptism last week!  T'was great. Our friend Jennifer got baptized on Saturday and confirmed the next day. She is awesome. Already a great recent convert, and she's helping us baptize the rest of her siblings. Her sister Mariana is getting baptized this week which is exciting, along with two others. Rodolfo and Pedro. Rodolfo is a man that travels two hours ...

Heyyyyyy everyone what is up. I hope you are all doing just great. I don't have a ton of time right now, but I just wanted to send a quick email.

I felt really bad at the moment, because he ripped his pants a little bit, and kinda hurt his leg. But looking back, it was pretty funny hahah. It was a small hole thankfully, which implies that it was probably dug by X-ray. Cause, if you've seen the movie holes, you know, smaller shovel, smaller hole.  That is unfortunately all the time I have for today. But I just wanted to end with a little tribute to the man himself, Russell M. Nelson. What an incredible man. He has literally lived for a century. That is insane to me. And not just a 100 year life, but an amazing life dedicated to the Lord's work and serving others. He is su...

What's good everyone. I'm back. It's been a good week. Very fast once again. Not a ton happened this week, but it was still solid. We did have a meeting with President this week which was awesome as usual. Talked about living a higher and holier law, and changing a bit the culture of the mission. Lots of stuff with numbers and how we're putting a new emphasis on church attendance. It was a super good meeting and I enjoyed it a lot. To end the meeting, we all sat down together and ate an incredibly delicious lunch. Tacos. The first tacos I've had in my whole mission. Wow guys, they were incredible. So insanely delicious. Just the combination of beans, beef, pico de gallo, guacamole, and cheese was the most wonderful thing I have ever put into my mouth. It's crazy how many little things there are that I forget about being here hahah. For all my friends in Mexico. Bruh. Due to the new emphasis on church attendance, we were able to get 10 friends to come to church y...
