Any Dream Will Do

Well, folks, this is probably my last blog post as a full-time missionary.  It's been an absolute dream come true.  I can't even begin to tell you how much my mission has meant to me in terms of my personal growth, me coming to understand the Atonement of Christ as the source of every good change and blessing in my life, and being able to see God work in the lives of my brothers and sisters. 

I hope this blog has been able to help y'all feel closer to God and His Son, and has been a source of support or insight or a way for the Spirit of God to teach you something.  I plan on continuing to post every so often, although I might change the name/theme of the blog again.  We'll see what happens. 

Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know what will be going down in the next little while.  My call to serve in California may be ending soon, but the call to be a disciple of Christ never will; His invitation to be "fishers of men" doesn't come and go with a black badge.  I love my Savior.  I know He lives.  I know the Book of Mormon is true and Joseph Smith was the prophet through whom God restored the Church of Jesus Christ in the last days before His Son's Second Coming.  God bless you all!

All my love,

Elder Christian David Spendlove

Just a Little FYI

Hey everyone!  I just wanted you to know that I'm going to be posting a poll soon that will ask what kinds of questions you've wondered about the LDS Church (or, if you're a member, that your friends have asked you).  I want to use my "FAQ Fridays" to answer your questions, not just what I think you want to know.  This blog really is for you (and your friends who aren't LDS)--I sure do want to know how I can help you better.  If you don't see a question on the poll you want to be answered, comment down here or message me on facebook. 

I hope you find this blog interesting and helpful!  Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to do!

I just want you all to know that I know the message I have the opportunity of sharing each day is true.  That's why I'm a missionary.  That's why I'm dedicating two years of my life to share it with others (not the least of which is you!).  I love the truth and the light and the peace the gospel brings.  I'm also adding a couple links where you can request missionaries to visit you and order a free copy of the Book of Mormon.

Much Love,
Elder Spendlove
