Elder Spencer Robins Missionary blog: Holiness to the Lord 4/15/19

Alright! This week was pretty incredible! Elder Morrison and I were able to give 6 priesthood blessings this week. Last preparation day we met and talked with a lady named Stephanie, whose husband beat her every time she had contact with the church. She came up to us last week and asked us to give her and her kids a blessing! We found out that she left that scumbag and we were able to give the blessings and have a good lesson with her.

Angelie, Isaiah, and Jeremiah's baptisms are on Saturday! I'm super excited for them! This week we came across a difficult situation. The parents have both been baptized, and the father (I won't go into detail) is in no situation to be able to baptize his children. He didn't know that. We were praying to find out how we would tell him that. If the outcome went bad, his children might not be getting baptized. But lucky for us, he was okay with it and everything is going according to plan!

We went to the temple a couple of days ago with the Branch President and his wife! The temple is about 2 hours away, but it is so nice to be able to have one in my mission! I love being in the House of the Lord, and the blessings that come from the work.

Do you remember when I said that a guy locked his keys in his house and I went through the small window to get it? Well guess what! It happened again! He wouldn't answer our calls or texts for a few weeks, and out of nowhere he calls us to help him in the same way that we met! It turns out that he got a new job and his hours were different. We got back on schedule to teaching him again, and things are going well.

I love y'all and hope you have a good week!
