July 18th, 2012:
I'm here and safe!  But, wow it's been a long full day.  As soon as I left the car I was comforted and felt good about everything.  My host carrying my bags was even from Idaho Falls.  We did one thing after the other all day and had no time to spare.  My companion is Elder Hymas from Washington Tri-City area.  He's great and I love the 8 guys in my class, all going to the same mission as me.  The teaching experiences with investigators (role playing) was very spiritual and I loved watching them.  I miss you all and hope everyone's safe!  Looking forward to emailing also.
Love Elder Smith
