Bishop, Spencer

What is going on my peeps?! I hope your chillin' like villians with all your awesome Christmas presents! Christmas was so different on the mission, but it was great anyways! On Christmas Eve we went to a Non-members for dinner (Josephina) with the spanish Elders. Holy Moly! she made the best beans and rice I've ever had! MUAH! Bon appetite! We also had prime rib along with it and that was very tasty as well. Her family came over too, and none of them are members, which was a good time to tell them who we were and what we are all about. I will say though, the family was hyped up on the Corona beers... lol! what an experience! Then after the Non-member dinner, our relief society president, Sister Carrie Brady gave me and Elder Critchfield matching christmas PJ's! And no, I didn't get a picture (sorry mom) because Elder Critchfield refused! So lame but I still love him. no homo. Christmas day, I only had one present to open because I'm not patient. My parents had sent ...

Merry Christmas to everyone! I swear it was Thanksgiving just yesterday! WOW that went by quick! We had a great week! We did another exchange, but this time it was with the zone leaders. It was an awesome day! A lot of good things happened. I had a really spiritual experience. We were out riding the bikes and got in contact with a lot of people that we haven't been able to talk with in a while, which was good! But, the coolest thing was I felt inspired to go to this ladies house that we have been in contact with and we just haven't been able to teach her because she kept saying she wasn't feeling well.  So, we go to her house and knock and there was no answer, so I was like... hmmm, What the heck? So, we knock one more time and again no answer. So Elder Selph were like, What the heck God? Why are you playing games on us?  Elder Selph was like, "Lets converse with the Lord" and I was, "Okay, cool beans!" So we did, and asked the Lord what do we do with ou...

HEY how's everyone doing? Merry Christmas! Christmas is gonna be weird here in Cali  because theres gonna be no snow. Just a lot of fog lol.  I started off my week with interviews with the president and that went really well! I love president Talley! He is the nicest, most Christ like guy I've met. And his conversion story is pretty awesome. You can watch it on the facebook page "Come Unto Christ in Norcal". Our interview question was, How has a living apostle made a difference in your life? I was like hmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't know. But president Talley said, if you do preparation before Elder Soares comes, you will have a great experience. President wanted us to prepare by reading Elder Soares last 2 talks, and study what a living apostle is. Ands that's what I did. So, I get in the meeting with Elder Soares sitting there (the meeting with Elder Soares was before interviews with president) and all the sudden right as Elder Soares gets up to speak and says, ...

I'm very upset right now, I wrote a really long email and then it got deleted! But basically got to meet Elder Soares, participate in light the world, and I got to watch the chosen Christmas devotional at the movie theaters, and happy holidays!
