P.S. My P Day's are on Tuesday.
Elder McSpadden received his Visa Thursday afternoon and flew out Monday morning to Norway with the rest of his district! He was able to call on Sunday night and share one last story from Vegas. He said most days he and his companion would head over to the Park between 2-3 after the kids got out of school. He's been teaching one of the kids he's met there but this time they were all excited to see him. He put his stuff down and started playing football with about 10 high school boys. He scored a touchdown and the boys were teasing their friends that they'd been beat by a kid in church shoes. He asked them if they had been reading the book he gave them and they said they read every day before practice and that they all wanted one to have to read on their own. He then started teaching them and talking about what they were reading and they said it helps them before practice. Darin had just encouraged Truxton to always be prepared to flood the earth with Book of Mormons and encouraged him to read the talk by President Ezra Taft Benson on doing just that. Truxton read the talk and had loaded his backpack full of Book of Mormons that day! He handed out 10 books to those boys and as he was getting ready to leave one of them knocked on his window and asked if he had 2 more because two girls wanted to read it and didn't get one. He said he was all out but then began searching his car and found 2 more! 12 Book of Mormons, the exact amount he needed for this group of teenagers! As he was driving off to his next appointment he watched as they all sat down at a picnic table and started reading the Book of Mormon together! He let his bishop and ward mission leader know that the next set of missionaries need to be at the park by 2 ready to play football and answer a lot of questions! His companion was getting transferred and he was heading to Norway but the seeds had been planted! He's so excited to be heading to Norway but loved his time in the Las Vegas West Mission!
