First off, I want to talk to Alex! Man your a boss!!! I can’t believe how yoked you are getting man. You look as strong as an ox! I’m so proud of you and what you’re doing right now! This is gonna bless you for the rest of your life, the decision you are making to not only play, but to be the best! It’s good to have that drive! President Maluenda always talks about developing our talents and he always makes me and my comp sing in front of everyone, (even though we are horrible) and know that God gives us all talents and you have many!! I know that football and leadership is one of them so keep playing hard and being a leader and good example in all you do! So many times I reflect on football and it helps me with struggles I see during my mission! I love you buddy and am so proud! Keep me updated!
So thank you all so much for the emails and pictures! I’m excited for you to go see the Trayners and all my buddies that have gone home! Say hello to all of them for me, especially the Trayners. I miss them alot! Today was weird sending home Elder Munsey and Stevens. Both great missionaries! We put them on the plane this morning. The good news is my new comp is a boss! His name is Elder Stott from Washington state! He was trained by Elder Munsey so we had a father son reunion last night in the Maluenda home. It was a lot of fun!
This last week has been loco!! I sent you the story of brother Rodriguez’s miracle baptism and as well we had another miracle baptism on Thursday night. Someone Elder Munsey had taught at the beginning of his mission and we found him again about 2 weeks ago and he had been so prepared. He had been praying the night before asking for help and the next day we found him! Pretty cool story! Elder Munsey got to baptize him right before he left! I’ll send pictures! After the baptism we performed a special musical number with the Maluenda girls. They are incredible with music. Good enough to make us sound not half bad:)
So that’s pretty much a summary of the week. I am so excited about my new comp and this coming transfer. It’s gonna be crazy, but we are stoked!
So I wanted to say thank you for the license extension Mom, and I’ll call Sister Maluenda and tell her to watch for it! You’re the best mom!
I love you all so much and hope you have an awesome week!! Take care!!
Love Elder Smith
