  • E.V. Spencer served 5 missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He acted as Captain for 3 companies of immigrants and guided them across the plains. He was part of the rescue effort for the Martin-Willie Handcart companies. He dreamed he could skip general conference in the old Adobe Tabernacle and avoid a mission call. He never felt capable of the callings he was given. The Lord guided and protected him as he travelled thousands of miles to England on his first mission. Avoiding murderous mobs and standing tall amidst overwhelming opposition he converted over one thousand souls to the gospel. He may have been grumpy at times or felt inadequate, but he answered the Lord's call and stepped up to every task before him. This inspirational account will help you know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. God loves YOU.

      Thanks Brother Powers. It is amazing how God's love expands but does not dilute as we spread it to our fellow beings.

    Bro Merrill. I love every story you share. I especially love your testimony on this one and the others because I'm sure it is heard and lives inside of many listeners and will in good time cause them to follow your invitation to ask God those questions. I know my inactive daughter hears and takes internally your words.
    Thank you for what you're doing.
