Buokrom Member Referrals




Dear Fam,

This week I have felt more like a missionary than any other time in my mission. All of the skills and attributes acquired over the last 21 months or so are now in full force and I am working hard to accomplish the work here in Buokrom. We received 9 referrals from members, 8 of which we contacted, and of those 9 we have had 5 member present lessons. Not only has the work been moving, but it has been moving in the right direction. There is a right and a not so right way to do missionary work. Pres Hinckley has said that working with the members is the best way to do missionary work, and he was right.  We must do it that way for our recent converts to have friends in the church. All of those referrals we are now teaching have friends in the ward, and I would not be surprised if all of them are baptized within the next 5 weeks. The Lord helps us when we follow the prophet and do missionary work the right way.

I can't wait to talk to you all on Sunday. I will call around 7-8 our time depending on our last appointment.

Things are going well for the Hair family. Chris is getting married to a wonderful return missionary, Chandler is doing really well with Devrey, and Ty just defended his thesis with the help of Rachel's oh so delicious chocolate chip cookies. The Lord has truly been mindful of the Hair family. Now it is our turn to make sure that we continue to always be mindful of Him. Thanks again for all of the support and encouragement that you give me. I love you all!

Spence
