BIKES ROCK

 what's up everyone!


this week went by super fast like always. we had a ton of super good lessons this week. sadly a couple of them are ending bc they are going away for the summer. however, our main friends are still here to that's a win. 

so funny story. I was biking right behind elder kjar and he didn't signal like he usually does when we turn and I fell over his bike and landed on the road hard haha. but fast forward another day and I was biking over this bridge and when I was at the end, there was this huge sand pile and my tire spun out and I fell again. I currently have some gnarly cuts on my arm. I was hoping for some dope anakin scar over the eye but hey you take what you can get.

I have an exchange with the zl's this week so that will be fun. I also get to go golfing today so hallelujah! 

one of our favorite members took us out to dinner this week and that was also a highlight.

I caught a cold again this week.

we're playing against north zone for frisbee next week and we practiced a lot for it.

President Grisel asked Elder Kjar and I to do a study this Friday so I'm looking forward to that!

not much more happened except the usual old missionary life. 

well I guess elder kjar kicked in our glass window haha.

love you all,

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...

  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...
