5/27/14 | Haircuts...you gotta love them

This week was crazy, started out with a  lizard running around our apt, I was finally able to catch it and release it back into the wild.  Florida... I love it!  Then it ended with me having a 3-day exchange with Elder Edwards, which was the best 3 days of my life this last 12 weeks (besides conference and the Temple dedication of course)  It was just like hanging out with my friend Nate Quist, because he is just like Elder Edwards, so it was so much fun, I found joy in missionary work again.  To say the least these past 12 weeks have been the hardest and longest 12 weeks of my life, but I can say like paul "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Now on to the next challenge!  

I just had the random thought the other day that missionary work is really crazy, it all relies on 18-21 year olds living on their own, expected to preach the gospel unceasingly and to be obedient.  It's so crazy it works!  Just another example of how true this church is.

Had an amazing miracle this week.  We tracked down a media referral and visited with them.  Turns out they had been in Texas for the last 8 months for cancer treatments.  While there they were introduced to the church and they were taught everything and went to church.  They then just moved back to Florida last week and want to be baptized.  Only problem is that the wife cannot yet since she is not allowed to be in public while her immune system is this low.  But we will continue to work with her, they are so elect!!!! 

Also got the transfer call last night and found out that I am transferring and so is Elder Rodgers! They are white washing the area!  So now on to the next adventure that my mission has to offer.  

But my pday just ended, so I will have to wrap this up!  I love you guys and hope you have a great week!  oh yeah, and I gave myself a haircut the other day..... I leave it at that, I send some pics of myself in a few months when it grows back;)

Love Elder Spencer Bailey
