It has been yet another great trip to the temple today! I forgot to email everyone about that last week so I apologize for not letting you know I wouldn't email on Monday. I thought it was so funny that you stuffed the missionaries full at dinner the other day Mom, haha. I have had a couple of those days so far where we just have to go lay down at home because we eat so much food! It's nice to hear the mission there is growing as well, next transfer we are getting 30 new missionaries and this transfer we got about 24 with nobody going home, so we will be at 250 in no time for the mission. Crazy to think there were only about 100 when I came here in August. And thanks for the pictures of the snow and the new bathroom, it looks so nice! Completely different then before! I'm missing the snow but not missing the cold weather all the time. Well as for the work here, it's going great. Elder Naranjo and I have been working so hard the past couple weeks and its definitely bringing blessings. We have had a lot of unexpected opportunities to teach the gospel which I'm extremely grateful for. We are teaching a family with 3 kids tonight that we found, I don't know how willing the parents are to change but the kids love learning. We are hoping things will work out and that they feel the spirit as we teach them. I'm enjoying being senior companion, Elder Naranjo's English is good but his grammar is pretty bad sometimes! So I enjoy helping him with that. And to tell the truth he's a pretty horrible driver haha, so I only let him drive once in awhile and at night when there's no cars on the road. I'm so grateful for the time I have to be here, Mom thanks for the words of encouragement from Elder Eyring. I strive my best to become a better teacher and instrument in the Lords hands. I try talking to everyone I see on the street or working in their yards and it always brings a sense of joy and comfort knowing you didn't just walk by them. We have the truth and everyone needs to know about it to decide for themselves if they accept it or not. All we have to do is be bold and open our mouths at every opportunity we have. I'm grateful for the help the Lord has given me as I have done this. Thanks for all your love and support, I hope everyone has a great week. Love Elder Smith
