Hey how is everyone doing this week? I just got news that Bin Laden was killed, finally! That's crazy, the world is crazy! All is good here in Delaware, besides the allergies, man they are no fun especially when your eyes get all red and swollen ha ha. I had a guy make a comment about that yesterday when we were in the "ghetto" part of this town and there were all these black guys chillin outside and we went up to this guy and introduced ourselves. He was like "man why are your eyes so red? aawwwhh man you have been smokin' Marijuana huh? Ha ha, I was like nahh it's just allergies. I wouldn't do that. Look at my name tag and who I represent. Ha ha, it was funny. So ya, I hope all of you are doing well! I don't have much to say other than Happy Mothers day next week. I am excited I get to call home and talk to my family it will be weird talking to them but I am super excited to hear what they have to say.
So this week was just like a kickback kind of week. Well not really,actually we still worked our rear ends off!! I don't think you guys know what being spiritually and physically tired is. It hit me this week. I was so tired at nights! But the kickback part was just kinda learning the area and the people who are here. So he ran most of the show this week but we had some awesome lessons. It's going to be a good transfer. We are shooting for 5 baptisms this transfer and believe that we can do it! But this area is so big compared to the last one. We are allowed to drive 1300 miles throughout the month. Last month we ran out like a week early its going to be hard to manage. That's how big the area is. It covers like 3 English areas. It's big.
So, I want to tell you about this lesson we taught this week. It is this less active lady named Aroseli. The only reason she is inactive is because she works Sundays. So when we got there, she told us that she was applying for a different job so she can go to church on Sundays. Then we began to teach her. We talked about her husband who has been really against the missionaries and has never ever listened while they were there. His name is Jacob. So we were talking to her for a little while and talking about praying for her husband. He will make little steps and accept us one day. All of a sudden out of no where he comes in and sat down. We immediately began to start talking to him about charity and some other things and the importance of prayer, especially as a family. So after we had finished the lesson we asked him who he would like to say the prayer since he was a the man of the house. He DID IT!! It was amazing for his little girls and the wife to see. After he finished I looked at the wife and she was crying it was so amazing we just smiled she was so happy and it was just a great experience. We get to go back and teach him on Thursday. The spirit is so real man it was definitely there I loved it.
I love all of you and am thankful for the examples you have given me in my life. I am so happy I am on a mission and serving the lord! The Book of Mormon is so true it's Blue always remember that!
Love
Elder Smart
