I have experienced few things in life as sweet as when Spencer was set apart as a missionary this past week. Many friends and family were gathered around to hear his powerful blessing. Many tears were shed as each loved one poured out their love and shared testimonies with him. I have never felt the spirit as strong as I did while sitting in that little room the evening of June 11th. This kid has touched the lives of so many through his uplifting energy and positive example.
These boys are Spencer's best of friends. They have a powerful bond with each other. Each of these boys, except Fred (third from the right) have received their mission calls and will all be serving Spanish speaking missions. Spencer will be serving in Birmingham, Alabama and YES this is a Spanish speaking mission! Fred joined the church just under a year ago and is waiting for the opportunity to put in his mission papers. Watching these boys has taught me the power of your children choosing "good" friends. These boys are exceptional and I appreciate the positive influence they have been in Spencer's life.
Big brother, little brother.
