DRIVING LIKE RICKY BOBBY!


Hey Everyone,

How’s it goin?? Thank you so much for all of your emails and pictures! I’m so happy to hear that Alex's game went so well! Alex your a beast! I’m also so glad that Chan gets to come home! Drive safe!

Good to see that you’ve been out on the river to do some fishing! A lot of good memories out on the drift boat! You guys are the great! I love you!!!

Well, this week has gone by so fast I don’t even know what happened! Looking back at it, I can’t really remember what we did!  Sunday was super good, we had a bunch of confirmations!  Monday we received 17 new missionaries which was super crazy! We picked them up around noon-ish and brought them to the capilla for their orientation! It was a fun night with the Maluendas and we ended up heading back to the airport later that night because we had a 2nd group come in. It was a wild day and we didn’t get to bed until really late. Tuesday was transfers and just like always the craziest day ever. I lost my voice from yelling so much and right at 10:30 me and Elder Stott got in the big transfer van and took off for Corpus! It was super fun to go back up to Corpus and I got to see a couple members! We picked everyone up and got them back down to McAllen by 7ish and then got over to dinner with President! It was sad sending so many good friends home! Elder Sanchez was in that group and it was hard to see him go, but he was excited! We were almost late for the flight and had to drive like Ricky Bobby, but it all buffed out!

Yesterday we got to tour Brownsville with Pte and Sister Maluenda and it was super fun! We made our way down early in the morning to check out some areas and got to go out to lunch. It was so good to spend more time talking with Pte and Sister Maluenda. They are sooo fun and love our American sarcasm. Sister Maluenda has been picking up on it little by little. They truly are so great!

I feel so bad that I don’t have much more to tell you all but I hope you know how much I love you! I pray for all of you! Be safe!


 Love Elder Smith
