Happy Thanksgiving!
I
almost forgot about it! It was late in the evening when I remembered, so I
bought some fried chicken from this lady that sells it in the street, I
had to eat some kind of bird! And I made strawberry jello. Jaja, that was
my Thanksgiving dinner. But I did take a moment to think about all the
things that I am grateful for, I had a nice little moment with my Padre Celestial.
Way to go Dad! That's a pretty fast half-marathon! And the
story about Landon is super funny! Jaja, we might end up being teamates, who knows??
I'm super proud of Caleb
Rodabough!!! Atta Boy! You're going to love Mexico! And you're going to
be the best missionary ever! It's good to have you in the ranks!
This
week was a pretty good one. We spent the whole thing in a trio with Elder
Flores. There are good things and bad things about being in a trio. It's
good because it is a BLAST!!! There is just another dynamic, a third
opinion, another voice. It's really a good situation! It's also good
because we did divisiones with the youth in the ward almost every day! So two of us were always together, and the other one was always with one
of the kids from the ward getting stuff done and helping them get
excited for their missions! It's bad because the flow of teaching is thrown way off! Showering in the morning is all
messed up, sometimes in lessons all three of us want to talk, and sometimes no
one knows who should talk... it's just because we haven't had as much
practice, but it has been a little rough!
Today, finally, Elder Flores got his companion. His name is Elder Grey. He is
pretty new too, but he seems like a super cool guy. I'm super excited for him and Elder Flores! They are going to be a really good companionship!
The
best part about this week coming up is that we finally have a
baptism here! Her name is Cindi, she is awesome! I would love it if you would say a couple of prayers for her this week. And then next week we have three more baptisms planned, Jensi, Marisol, and Eliam! If you would pray for them
too it would mean a lot to me!
I can not
believe it is already December. This year has gone by so fast! This time
last year I was training Elder Arteaga! So much has happened in the last twelve months, I can't even believe it! But I love it too.
Well, that's really all for this week. I hope you all have the best week of
your life this week! Jaja, thank you for all the prayers and love you
send our way. It is felt! Just remember to keep the Lord in the center
of your lives this week and it will be a good one!
-Elder Smith
