Week 6: Bridgeton, New Jersey

Hey everyone! how is everything going? Well i guess i heard the Giants won the super bowl cool cool, really don't care about the NFL but maybe there is a Coug on the team! well its crazy that this transfer is already almost over! 


 WEll to talk about the week not going to lie its been way rough and has kinda sucked! But there is nothing we can do about it but keep trying to work hard and find new people to teach and find those that are prepared! But just like yesterday so we were teaching a girl named blanca her boyfriend is a less active and she is 20 and has 2 kids but she really had a desire to change and really wanted to be baptised we just had to get her to church and also to get them married. But yesterday the boyfriend Javier came to church and she didn't so we asked where she was but he told us that she wouldn't be with us for awhile. They separated and she went to Pennsylvania we don't know what happened but i don't think she has plans to return anytime soon. She was our only baptismal date that we had. Cause our other one like 2 weeks ago told us that he cant continue cause his wife wouldn't let him. So its been super frustrating we don't have a ton of people to teach and no one really has time. We have walked so much trying to talk to as many people as possible and pass by formers and potentials and just nothing! But there is nothing we can do about it. And its just kinda frustrating getting this far into my mission and really haven't had a baptism yet! It constantly makes me re-evaluate and try to change think of new ways and things i can do better at and i don't know its disappointing but i gotta keep my head up and work as hard as i can and the Lord will prepare a way! also one of the old ladies in our ward got taken to the hospital during church and she has like 1% chance of living its pretty sad she was the sweetest lady! 


 But all is good! i still love my mission i am changing as a person maybe that's what God wants i guess. But i know i will baptise someone cause it says in my patriarchal blessing. But all is good thanks for all the love and support you show me everyday i can definitely feel your prayers. I love you all be safe and have a good week. Elder Smart
