Hey Family!  It's been a long week to say the least. But thanks for the emails and the pictures of Charlie, he's so cute. And I'm so happy to hear about Lexie and Mason and how their doing.  I'm missing the snow right now since it's snowing  a lot there, but I'll see it eventually ha. Well Elder Naranjo is great, he's from Bogotá Columbia and didn't know much English at all when he came, but he is doing really good for only being out 6 months. It's hard to understand him once in awhile but not often. He's very obedient and I think he'll be the next AP haha. One thing that I have taught him so far is how to drive haha!  He had never driven before in his life so he asked if I could teach him and we've been working on it the past couple nights, it's fun. I'm trying to learn a little Spanish while I teach him better English, so we'll see how it goes haha. The baptism on Saturday went really well for Sara and I had the privilege of speaking on the Holy Ghost. But it was scheduled to be at 2 pm and they changed it to 1 pm without letting us know, so Pennington texted us when it started asking where we were. Well we got there right when they were getting into the font.  So I was there just in time to talk. It was pretty stressful but it worked out. Things with Kristin are really hard because of her Dad but she's pushing along. Because of the influx of missionaries, our mission is growing so much!  They split one zone this transfer and will split ours next transfer. This transfer is 5 weeks instead of 6 because they are aligning the transfers up with the MTC for some reason. And every ward will have their own set of missionaries pretty soon. So there's a lot of changes but it's all because the church is true and there needs to be a lot more missionaries around the world to share the truth. This is a great time to be on a mission right now and I'm grateful to be here. The work in our wards is slow right now, we have been through almost every name in both area books, but I know someone will come along soon. Thanks again for the emails and all the news from home, I'm glad everyone is doing well, and hope everyone enjoys the snow!  It has been rainy the past couple days but it's sunny today. Love Elder Smith
