Hey Mom and Dad, thanks for the email and the funny stories about the kids. I love hearing about them! I got a video from Ashlie that I really appreciate, they are getting so big! Dad, thank you so much for getting my bikes fixed up and ready to go, that makes me really excited, I see bikes and four wheeler s and razors all the time here so, I can't wait to go soon.
I have learned so many things especially from Elder Beddoes, and my entire mission. I am super grateful to have been his companion, yes we have had bad times but we have had some really good times and it has been a great 3 months. He is getting transferred today and my new companion is Elder Woody from Alabama. He was in my district in my first area so I know him pretty well.
We haven't been able to teach anyone out at the ranch this week but we hope to go out tomorrow and get to know some people. They switch out so often that you never know who will be there. Yesterday 2 new guys came with Cliven to church and one of them was a member because he actually participated in priesthood meeting. I know it will pay off. We are preparing the members to be better missionaries ant then eventually there will be more non members to teach. I love this area and I will be sad to leave it.
I'm glad Jordan has moved back and that was cool to hear that his friend was a returned missionary. I love you all and hope you have a great week. I hope you like the snake we found while we were milking the cows!!
Love Elder Smith
