Wk 17 - Another week in Ohio!

Companion: Elder Spencer
Area: Marble Cliff 2

We went to b dubs baby! Haha best meal yet

Mowed Elaina's lawn! 
     
Yeah round two two weeks in a row for elder Spencer in the dentist.
This week he got a hole in his tooth. 

Well first off sorry for the false alarm! We got the schedule switched for our zone conference which is now tomorrow! Anyways on to the rest of the week!

Well last week was a pretty solid week full of service! 
Wednesday after pday we had ward Coordination and went to do family history with Herbert and Elaina! That was such an amazing experience! They are both so excited about it! They both have recommends for the temple and we're planning on going this week and next!
 
Thursday we had service in the morning doing the clothing Distribution Center! Always a party! 

Friday we had interviews! Probably the best day so far, President and sister Stratford know how much I love and miss my animals. Their son just brought their dog out and they told us but said it was gonna go back with their son. They ended up surprising me with their dog Biscuit at interviews! It was so good! Then of course we went and got monsters shakes at Handel's after! The kind of shake that you get and love the first few bites then instantly regret because it's humongous but you always do it for tradition anyways.

Saturday we went and Mowed Elaina's lawn!Sunday we went finding all day after church. 

And Monday morning we did some service for a ward member! The Simmons had us plant some tulips and fed us some way good biscuits and gravy! Best part of the week was on Monday night at our Book of Mormon class. We asked Herbert to teach kinda as a joke and his reply was yes! I would love too! It was so awesome! He taught that night and we had six people there. He did such a great job! It was awesome to see how far he truly has come. He has such a great spirit about him and he's always happy! Herbert found  out our church headquarters are in Utah and we're all from there I showed him pictures of the Mountains and he's like I have to move there. He already has two interviews up at the U. haha it was crazy! I hope you don't care but I told him if he needed help you guys are there. I figured you wouldn't care because he's an amazing guy! He just wants Dad to take him for a horse ride really bad! he added dad on facebook I think. 

Tuesday we went on exchanges. In the morning both us and riverside went to help an elderly lady with her yard! We trimmed some trees, rakes some leaves, moved some wood and took nails out of all of them. Removed some chicken wire and rolled it up. Finished the day with some great exchanges with elder Hopper in Marble Cliff! We had a great time!

Today for pday we went to dfwh which is discount fashion warehouse, Wendy's, save a lot and church to play some ball with Riverside all day! We always have such a great time together whether we're doing the work or going to the grocery store! Haha 

Yes sorry I've kinda been slacking on my letters and Mom, thanks for making sure I knew that! Haha! But on a spiritual note, thanks to her she reminded me of one of the most important things in life. Whenever we find ourselves just getting tired or feeling lost we can always look up in life, her example was hiking. We hike, we sweat, we work hard just to get up a hill. Doesn't sound fun, but when we take time to look up and see the beauty all around we remember our purpose of hiking. As we go throughout our lives when it gets hard just slow down enjoy the view, count your many blessing, remember all that God has given you and keep on going because it only gets better!
(this is the hike Tayton is referring to- Alan and I went to Hawaii and this
is one of our hikes to see the Napali coast on Kauai- it was very hot, humid,
rocky, steep, muddy and slippery! But look at the view!)

Sure do love you guys thanks for all the love and support. Hope you have a great week and happy Turkey day! 

Love yall! 

Love Elder Smoot
