Congratulations Momma Janell!
I'm so glad that the baby is healthy and happy. I love the pictures and look forward to more. I'm so thankful to be a 5th time Uncle and can't wait to meet him in person! And I'm glad he has big feet like his Uncle Logan. haha! I wanted to say thanks a bunch to Mom, Dad, Grandma and Taylor for the letters and all the support you give me. And a special thanks to Aunt Gloria for her weekly letter she sends me on stories about Joseph Smith, I love them and so thankful for her! It has been slow again, Elder Barton is a awesome companion. He's from Aurora Washington, south of Seattle. He's a really good teacher and I'm learning a lot  from him. On Friday we tracted 80 houses in 2 hours! haha and we got 3 return appointments from it so it was worth it. We had an amazing Sunday and the Spirit was so strong in both testimony meetings. We also had the opportunity to teach Gospel Principles class and I was thankful for that.
Halloween was fun, our zone performed a skit that was probably the funniest act of the day! Then I was in another skit called "Alternative morning workouts for missionaries". At the night we went to the Bishops house and his wife cooked scones out on her driveway for the childen coming by. I was shocked at all the people that didn't know what a scone was!
The weather has been cooling down, Saturday we actually had to wear jackets for the first time while we were tracting haha. We found one lady to teach named Dottie, and when we went for the appointment it wasn't a typical lesson. She had her friends over from some church in Hawaii, and they played guitars and other instruments and we sang religious songs, then they said the Lords Prayer, then had a weird testimony meeting, then sang again and ate pie, haha. It was a fun experience to see how other Christians worship.
Everything is good.  We went hiking to Lone Mountain again, and I sent pictures.
I have been thinking a lot about Matt and Ashlie.
Keep getting better Janell! I love you all so much, Elder Smith
