15/15

Hey guys how are y’all doing? So today I got my kid and his name is Elder Carrasco. And yes he is Dominican as usual. That means that I will have 15/15 transfers with a Latin comp. I don’t know what I did to my mission president to deserve this. He seems pretty excited to be out here, he is the only member in his family so it will be a little tough being out here for him. He is a smaller guy and it will be fun being able to help him learn and progress. It was weird for me being in the grocery store and having to tell him everything that he needed and didn’t need. And it is a little weirder seeing how he doesn’t really know how to use a computer and trying to teach him how to use it.  

So I’m not district leader anymore so I’m okay with that. I can just focus on my companion and my area. It’s weird I can say that I have 20 months in the mission. It has passed by fast but I still feel like I have an eternity left. I’m glad to be staying, I might just even ask to finish my mission here. A part of me wants to go to Santiago and go serve in my trainer's ward. 

Our area is doing awesome. Jose and Isabel got their birth certificates ready to go and they had to work a lot to be able to get them that fast. They know the commitment they are making is not with us but with God and for that they are working hard to live according to the commandments. I asked them why they wanted to get married and they said to live the law of chastity so they can get baptized so that when they die they can enter into the celestial kingdom. I was amazed by their answer, there are few people that can put that connection together. We have some other people that are progressing too. I’m excited to get out and start being able to work full out with Elder Carrasco.  

The Colts let go of Peyton Manning? What are they thinking? Well that would be legit if he went to the Broncos and maybe they can put Tim Tebow at tight end, haha. Well BYU might have won their first game but they are going to choke as always. 

I hope that y’all enjoy y’alls spring break and that y’all will be blessed in all aspects of your lives!  

Love,

Elder Smith
