Hi Family,
Thanks so much for the letters and packages.  I'm the only one in my district that gets the most mail and everyone's jealous.  I love it!  Thanks Dad for the great advise, it helped me that day.Everyday here is a 16 hour day and it goes by soooo slow, it feels like I've been here a month already rather than 6 days, but it's great. It's amazing how much I've learned already, the Spirit is the strongest I've ever felt and I've already seen how it can help us to talk directly to investigators.  We're in the middle of teaching 3 investigators.  The work is so hard, harder than my last year of school, but I know it's all worth it.  Las night was very good teaching Brother Coolie, (that's how you spell it) and helping him with the Plan of Salvation after his wife's death.  Anyways, I can't remember  all the questions you asked but yes, the food is great, all you can eat in 50 minutes, and I think I've gained about 5 lbs!!!  I've seen a lot of Elders from school, and Alex a few times. I talked to two Elders last night that are learning Hungarian and this whole week they aren't allowed to speak any English.  It was funny trying to communicate, he had to write it on paper instead.  I'm so thankful to be speaking English. Our teacher Bro. Mendeirous last night (coolest Hawaiian guy ever) told us the building we have class in was newly remodeled, so inside looks brand new and it was meant for Spanish speaking Elders (all 4 floors) but the First Presidency decided to change it to English because they felt there was going to be a movement and a great need for English speaking in the future, so I guess I'm part of that!  Well, I don't have much time left at all, 30 minutes for emailing everyone is not enough time, but I'm glad to hear everything's good at home and so glad my car is gone!  And so jealous Mom got a Droid Razor, I wanted that!! You better learn how to use it to it's full capability.  Thanks again for all the letters and everything--keep them coming! Love Elder Smith
