Family!
I have been called as a Spanish missionary in the St. George mission for the rest of the time here!!! It was a shock to me as well and I can't believe that I'm being transferred there but President said that they need me and some others to be there for some reason.  Janell I'll be really close to you now!! I leave next Monday...but actually today just happens to be April Fools day so I'm, actually staying here and won't be learning Spanish...Sorry about that hahaha
  But seriously, it's been a good week and an even better Easter weekend!  We were able to help teach the 5th Sunday lesson at church yesterday because it was all about missionary work and helping the ward become more confident missionaries.  I was grateful for the time I had to talk and invite everyone to hear the missionary lessons.  So we will start getting really busy soon with teaching all the families the missionary lessons, whether they are active or not.  We are currently teaching a couple families and will start with a few more this week, and we just finished teaching all the lessons to a family to help their son prepare for a mission. His parents were on the edge of being inactive and they're family was struggling. And over the last month of teaching them, I have seen miracles happen because of their willingness to listen to us and help Tanner prepare to serve.  Yesterday the whole family was at church together for the first time in probably a year or so.  And the daughters husband was even there, who was completely anti Mormon 2 months ago. I am so grateful for the gospel and the blessings it brings into our families, whether we realize it or not.  I'm grateful for the missionary lessons we are able to teach investigators and families, because there's power in them, not from us, but from the Spirit. As it says in Alma 26:12 it is through God's strength that we are able to do this great work, and I wouldn't be here without the strength I have been given by my Heavenly Father to endure and help these great people here in Las Vegas.
Mom, thanks for the Easter package, I remember doing it during our family home evenings in the past years, and I am grateful to have it to share with my meetings and investigators or trainings. As you probably know, transfers are next Monday and I think I might be moving. Elder Naranjo is a culinary cook and the people actually want him to cook the meals for us instead of them cooking the meals for us. All of the members want us to come and cook for them!  We even helped a family cook our Easter dinner!  I'm sorry to hear that Vicky died, but she is in a better place and she will be blessed for what she had to go through with her family here on earth. I hope everyone is safe and I love you. Love Elder Smith
