Family,
Thanks so much for the package of things, I can't believe you sent a rose in a bag just so I could smell it, haha, me and my companion get the biggest laugh with some of the things you send, like the yes or no question sheet, that was funny!  But I appreciate everything you send. It's been a great weekend with conference and all the wonderful talks. I love President Uchtdorfs talk as well about airplances and how the gospel is the same where ever you are.  We were at the stake center for that and brought Kody with us.  We watched Sunday sessions at the stake center and we were the only ones there along with 2 other missionaries, so we pulled the couches into the chapel to watch it, haha. Saturday we were at Shari's watching both sessions with her. I loved all the talks, Yes, Mom it's true we watched it at the same time, it was just 9 for me and 10 for you. And I was glad to hear the story of Ann Rowley, I remembered she was my ancestor. That story is also in 17 miracles, we watched that last transfer. We couldn't believe the news that 18 year olds can now go and 19 year old sisters. We're going to be getting a lot more of them now!  Our next transfer is at the end of the month, the 29th. I'm not sure what will happen with me but we're pretty sure Elder Pulsipher will be going somewhere else. He feels like he's going to Mesquite, which would be funny because he has a lot of family there.
    I'm loving the weather here, the nights cool down to a perfect temperature and the days aren't burning hot anymore!  But I'm not too jealous of the freezing temperatures there!  We got a new investigator yesterday, Oscar. He's a 16 year old that is so interested in everything. He's friends with one of the priests in the ward and has been to church a couple times. He's going to seminary too so we hope he will be baptized soon. We gave Daphne and Dimitri  a blessing because Dimitri has a dangerous job, and the spirit was soooo strong and we knew they felt it.  They followed us out the door just staring at us saying thank you over and over again. It was amazing. This morning we hiked Lone Mountain---it was so fun. I'll send a few pictures of it. The view from up there is awesome-- you can see everything in the valley. Hope it's a good safe week for everyone. Love Elder Smith
