Minha Família
Como estais? Eu estou bem. Estou vivo. O líder da obra missionária quer dizer oi para minha família então fala oi. Aqui é o Edson. Esta semana nós tivemos um batismo da Fernanda. Ainda o pai dela não quer ler o Livro de Mórmon e ir à Igreja.Triste:(. Más estamos trabalhando com ele e um dia Edson vai conseguir e cair nas águas de batismo com ele. Um dia maravilhoso será. Eu sei que ele conseguira. O batismo da Fernanda foi legal tinha muita gente lá para dar apoio. Elder Ferrato fez o primeiro batismo da missão dele. Parabéns. Estou feliz por eles. Eu liguei ao presidente da missão e ele falou que vou para uma outra área. Eu não sei onde más vamos ver onde O Senhor me - manda esta semana. Eu sou grato pela oportunidade para servir a missão por O Senhor. Testifico que esta Igreja é verdadeira e que é a obra do Senhor vai para frente e adiante. Eu sei que Cristo é nosso Salvador e Redentor. Eu sei que José Smith foi chamado para ser um profeta de Deus. O Livro de Mórmon é verdadeiro.Em nome de Jesus Cristo.
Ámem.
Amo vocês.

Hows its going family? I AM exicted to hear where Cody Will be serving. I AM bumbed that i cant be there when He opens up the package. Send pictures and cool comments.We are entering the rainy season here in Belém. And people are starting to pull out the sweaters because its a cool 80 degrees. I Love it at night when there isn't any rain, but just a small breeze. Its reminds of a Summer night back home.We didn't have a baptism last Saturday it fell through but the this upcoming Saturday we Will have two. the work is progressing. These days the success is little but we are pushing along with what we have. I really Love the area that i am because it is really quite and not the big city. The people are warm and open. but i feel that my time here is coming to an end.
Love Elder R Spencer
PS thank you grandma, Brother and Sister Smith and Lisa for the packages they were awesome.
Those of you are going to wash dc, have fun:)
