EGGS

 What's up everyone,


I've had an interesting last week an a half. So this week I learned pretty quickly that my trainer is very lazy and apostate, (basically follows the rules he sees fit to follow.) I had a hard couple of days and felt lowkey trapped. I definitely shed a few tears, but all in all, I've learned a lot bc of it. God loves everyone for who they are so we have every reason to do the same. I've also learned a lot of patience. I handle some situations by just not talking which probably is not good but if yall know me, I act angry without thinking so it's been a good learning experience. Don't fret, I was at the church this week for district council and I saw the youth theme, "trust the lord." That was God's way of saying I just need to trust him. I lowkey cried after I read that. I then later read mosiah 7:33. Go give it a read.

I went on an exchange this week with my comps old comp and he is a super good missionary! He showed me the right ways to do things, (bc I have been learning the wrong) and he gave me some advice with how he dealt with the situation when he was companions with my trainer. A super refreshing day. I learned a lot and he was able to give me a blessing at the end. I felt so much peace. The power of the priesthood and spirit are real. 

The next day I had a spiritual fire burning in me. I took charge of the situation I was in and was able to plan the day accordingly and go out and serve our HF with what faith I did have. I taught two people the first lesson all by myself and had super good contacts throughout the day. I was bringing others closer to christ the way a missionary should. I brought myself closer to christ.

A short story about the photo. A member dropped off those eggs, we were shocked. The man was super old and said some pretty funny stuff. I'm not gonna type it cause it could offend people maybe but text me if you wanna know haha. 

Lots of love and prayers,
Elder Smith

  hey everyone! I wanted to take the time and write a legit email for you all bc I've been flakey. However the work hasn't been flakey. We've had so many cool things happen! We see miracles everyday. We found this guy named Ian at Chick-fil-A one night when we were eating dinner. Since we're ysa, we have activities on the daily! Ian was able to come to activities and meet a bunch of homies! He runs a 4:06 mile!  We get to go to the temple with our friend Robert this week! He just got baptized on Christmas and we're already going to the temple so I'm so hyped for him!  We've also been finding so many people on facebook and we found this guy who came to church after one invite haha. So dope.  We did service for this state park and it was in these camp grounds. It made me probably the trunkiest I've been on my mission yet. The smell of campfire next to these beautiful mountains. That's where it's at haha.  I got to see Elder Kjar at mlc this week so...

MORMON FRICK

  hey everyone! to be honest. this week was just not it. I was lowkey depressed this whole week because I miss elder kjar. when you connect spiritually with someone and then it gets spread apart... it hurts. President Grisel was helpful enough to send me a quote by President Benson. He states, "sometimes we must righteously hold on and outlast the devil until his depressive spirit leaves us." this week was one of the hardest I've worked yet because it was the only thing that distracted my mourning soul.  however, it was good too! my greenie elder Lindsey is so dope. he's slow on the bike but the kid inspires me like none other. he was baptized only a year ago. his faith shows and he has that yearning to learn more all the time. big respect for this guy .  this week I yearned for what President Nelson calls "spiritual momentum." He states, "Pure faith keeps us moving forward on the covenant path. Please do not fear or delay repenting. Satan delights in y...

If he hath repented of his sins, and desired righteousness until the end of his days, even so he shall be rewarded unto righteousness." (Alm...
