Tuesday was a very early morning and we did something I never thought I'd get to do on the mission! We ended up having to get up at 3:30am to drop Elder Allan off at the airport! That was rough but honestly kinda fun. It made the rest of the day pretty hard to stay motivated but we ended up going on exchanges and I was with Elder Brinkerhoff so that was a great motivation! He's a stud! Probably the best part of the day was the evening! It was freezing cold outside and we saw some miracles. We had a sweet dinner then it was snowing as we hurried to an appointment with Mitch Thomas to a referral named Kimberly! We ended up having a sweet lesson with her and she seems to be pretty solid! She used to go to the Church a long time ago but stopped going. She liked it but she moved or something. She's a pretty sweet lady and we get to meet with her tonight so that'll be fun!
Wednesday we got called out to go move a washer and a dryer for the housing coordinator which is always a blast. Then after we video called into Mansfields district Council which was pretty fun!! Elder Winn is a stud and a great district leader! It's nice getting to learn a lot from so many people! After we tried by a bunch of people in our area book. We did that until Daylon's lesson that evening and that went pretty well!!! It was crazy! He had some good questions and it was pretty spiritual. He even had one question that he answered on his own. He asked if because we believe we can become like our father that we believe we can become Gods, therefore we believe in multiple God's which contradicts the Bible. And we explained to him that we only worship one God and it doesn't go against the Bible. He looked up 1 Corinthians 8:6 to show where he was coming from then he read the verse before it that stated exactly what we said. We just died laughing. He just reads a bunch of stuff on lds.org so he even asked about Kolab! Elder McNaughtan and I both thought we'd never teach that on the Mission but I guess it happened! haha! We gotta play some ball after so thats always a good time!
Thursday was a sweet day!! We got to have interviews with President and Sister Stratford!! Those are always the best and I always leave feeling 1000 times better than I did before because they're so uplifting! After that we got to have dinner at a retirement center where they get fed every night. It was pretty interesting but it was a good time. We had an amazing plan of salvation lesson with The Didiers, we had Mitch and bro Talentino there who grew up catholic and really contented with them and shared powerful testimonies. They are awesome people! We had to move their date to January because of some health issues but we're excited for them!
Friday was good as always, just a bunch of admin stuff! Follow up calls and some miracles! We had a lesson with a girl Elder Jaster and I met and have been talking to over facebook! She ended up going to an activity in a Spanish branch and got really interested, we sent her light the world and she instantly posted it on facebook!! It was awesome! So we went and taught her the restoration and she loved it. It was pretty cool! We had dinner with the Niuypaulus at Chipotle that night!! It was sweet!!
Saturday morning we went and played basketball with a bunch of non members!! It was so fun!! I love playing with a bunch of hood rats. There's like four members and the rest are just ballers! It's awesome. The rest of the day we lit the world!! We were gonna go rake leaves but it was pouring rain so we thought of another way! We made a bunch of my special cookies and dropped them off to a bunch of members. It was sweet, the members loved it and were super grateful!
Fast Sunday! Church was awesome we had two people come and enjoy church. Fast and testimony meeting was pretty good!! After church we went and gave Gwen, a recent convert, a blessing. It was a good experience. We got to go have stakes for dinner at the Thomas residence which is always unreal! Love that family! Needless to say it was a great day.
Today we got to go to Sam's club and just relaxed for the most part! It's been nice!! We ended up doing really good last week with our key indicators! We had 3 on date, 2 at church and 7 new people! It's awesome experiencing miracles!
Well I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
Merry Christmas!!
Go out and LIGHT THE WORLD!!!
Love Elder Smoot
