Hey everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas morning! It was great to talk to all of you and hear your voices! Looks like there was all kinds of fun activities and presents this Christmas! And it looks like Addi is taller than Monty haha! sh sh sh.. I’m so glad you all had a Merry Christmas! Ours was very interesting! We had a lot planned but our first 2 hours of plans fell through, so we just had to get out and work! In our first 2 hours of the morning we got doors slammed, yelled at, and I almost got converted to the Catholic church, but we made it out alright! Haha The funny thing was we were just super happy and didn't really even care! We then got to go to some members for Christmas dinner. The Loudon family! They are loaded! haha. We had a crazy big honey ham dinner with their family and I was sooo, soo grateful. They are way too good to us. So then before
the sleepy monster could get us, we got back to work with a little more fire! We got out and went by some more people and FINALLY sat down with a new family. We had an awesome lesson and set BD’s with them! It was super, super cool! We were soo grateful and felt it was a tender mercy from God. But we were really blessed. We got hit with another member dinner and ended up finishing the night on a good note. It was definitely a lot different than any Christmas I have had before. But one I will NEVER forget.
So I have to thank you all for the gifts, the money and the ties! Grandpa and Grandma, PaPa and Grammy, Jason & Jenny Brown family, My family! Thank you all soo much! Last night we had a huge cold front and it was like 32 degrees, so the new blanket saved my life, Mom! Thank you!
But we are back to work today! The sun is shining and we are excited for the coming year! 2013 can you believe it! It’s CRAZY! Time to set some resolutions and goals. Write out our dreams and the work out plans we never really follow! Haha I look forward to a lot of EXCITING things in the Smith family this coming year! But I love you all so much! I thank you all for everything you have done! Be safe, Be happy, and remember how much I love you.. And as well, how much I love my mission. Because besides you guys, it has been the most special thing for me and my life. So Thank you:)
WITH MUCH AMOR!
ELDER SMITH
