Hi!! Just got back from the temple!
       Hi everyone. Thanks so much for all the letters and packages once again, especially Dad for the great letter, and Taylor for the box of treats and candy! Your so awesome, thanks a ton!  This week has been pretty slow with finding more people, but we've been busy with exchanges all week, cause my companion is the district leader.  So I've been out like 4 weeks and already been on 4 or 5 exchanges, it's been really good though, great learning experiences!  We had some powerful moments this week with giving priesthood blessings, I'm so thankful I'm able to hold the priesthood and so thankful for Dad for giving me that.  My testimony has grown so much the past couple weeks on the priesthood, that subject, along with many more things.
     Well, today was the temple trip, and I loved it.  I just kept thinking back a couple of years ago when we were here for a wedding, and now I'm here as the Lord's missionary!  It was amazing.  Then we were at Subway afterwards and we talked to the polygamist father, that was pretty funny.  Other than that, the weeks been great.  I'm pretty familiar with our area, I'll be here for at least 12 weeks, and then there's a big possibility I could be training soon, since there's so many new missionaries coming, at least 20 every transfer until Christmas.
      Mom, I'm glad to hear the good news with you visiting less actives, I know exactly how that is, and makes me feel good that my mom is doing missionary work back home.  Anyways, I love you all and pray for everyone daily. 
     We have a new investigator who is a professional MMA fighter, so maybe soon we'll start teaching him.
Love Elder Smith
