Howdy howdy, 

Well I know it's only been five days but it sure was a good five days! Nothing too crazy happened but I got a sweet companion! The good Lord is blessing me! His name is Elder McNaughtan and he's a stud. He goes home exactly one month from now! I get to send him home so it should be pretty fun! He's from Heber City Utah and loves boating and all that good stuff! We get a long really well and work really good together! It'll be a good four and a half weeks!

Last Wednesday night we had a lesson with Daylon, then went and visited some members so Elder Jaster could say bye. Pretty sad he was leaving but I was glad Elder McNaughtan was coming. It was a solid day. 

Thursday we had to drive to transfers in New Albany. Transfers took quite a while with people showing up late and what not it wasn't good. We had to make sure everyone had things figured out before we could leave so it was good. We got back and had dinner later on. I grilled out in the snow while he was unpacking! Haha it was actually pretty fun! He brought a rice cooker so we've used that almost every day!

Friday we had our first solid day of planning! We figured out the zone focus and had follow up calls! It was a good day! We had a couple lessons fall through that night but it's good because they rescheduled! 

Saturday was a dang good day! To start it off we got permission to go play basketball at 7 am with a bunch of ballers at the church. There are about fifteen to twenty people who come and ball!! It's so sick!! There are only a few members so there are a lot of people coming in the church that know nothing about it! We have had some pretty good conversations with them!! We also filled up the font for a member getting baptized! I couldn't stop thinking of my stud of a nephew Ruger and how proud I am of him for getting baptized this weekend. Its crazy to me that I left when he was six and now he's growing and getting baptized!! Love you lots Ruger! After that we had a lesson with Daylon and it was all about receiving revelation. Daylon is having a hard time seeing God's answer, the things he tells us, to us, seem like it's an obvious yes but he doesn't see it so we've been trying to help him recognize that and see it. He's doing pretty good though.

Sunday was sweet!! We had miracle after miracle again! We only had Daylon come to church but we knew we'd have to find more so we could Baptize this transfer! So that night we worked hard after a huge steak dinner at the Thomas's house!! We ended up finding three people and they were sweet! All of them invited us right back! It was a sweet night! Then to make it better, Elder McNaughtan had a sweet idea to make reporting much, much easier! It made the night go way good!! 

Today is a weird day! First Monday pday in a long time!! But it's been good!! We went to the "Toy Barn" which is basically some of the best cars on the planet all in one place! Then we went to a couple other places including Walmart of course and now we're here! So hope ya'll have a good week!! 

I love you lots! God bless! 

Love Elder Smoot 

Hot BMW and Lamborghini!
