Today we went to the beach as a zone
and it was a lot of fun. We played a lot of little games and we ran around in
the sand. Then we went to the pencionista of Pimentel and she made us chicken
and potatoes. But the chicken was a little raw and so I hope I don't get too
sick hahaha.
I am so happy that your summer is
going amazing and that you guys are doing the family history work. That is
something that I want to get into to be honest when I get home and have more
time to be able to see everything. I am so happy that you have temple work to
do and I know that as a family we will be able to receive many blessings
(:
Well I have something to say that
will make dad proud haha. So we have zone meetings every Tuesday after district
meetings and we have decided to show a talent after each zone meeting and this
week it was our turn to do it. My companion sang and I did not want to sing in
front of everyone......so.....I DID THE HAKA!!!! Really I probably murdered it
because I couldn't really remember the words so I just threw in some words at
the parts I didn't really know but everyone was laughing so hard and they were
like terrified at the same time! It was hilarious and a lot of fun. Now
everyone wants me to keep doing it over and over again haha.
Also a funny story. This past Thursday
night we were running late for an appointment and we really needed to hurry
because we had a meeting with the mission president and the stake president and
so we started to run to the appointment. I had this folder in my hand and to be
funny I pretended that it was a gun and started to pretend to shoot my
companion. I was a little turned to the side, looking at him, and running very
fast...when...boom!! My foot tripped over a rock and I went falling
down....hard!!! Hahaha I got dirt all over in my hair, on my shirt, pants and
bag!!! It was pretty hilarious, even though it hurt! The worst thing was that I
had a meeting with the presidents that night! I went a little dirty and cut up
but we all just had a good laugh hahaha (:
Also another bad thing that happened
to me, was that Friday morning I woke up with a huge spider bite on the right
side of my bottom lip and it hurt so bad and it hurt to eat and talk but it's
about gone now (: hahaha oh the mission.....
We are gonna have two baptisms for
the 2nd of August! With a girl named Annie who is 11 years old. Her brother was
less active but we were able to re activate him. Also with a boy named Daniel who
is 13. The cool thing is that they are cousins and so they will be able to get
baptized together (:
Dad, thanks for your thoughts about
unselfishness being the key to all happy relationships. That is something I
need to work on with my companions. It always helps just to be humble and serve
them. Something I have learned is to love them no matter who they are. My comp
and I get in some arguments here and there but I am really learning to be more
humble with him and I try to help him. We really are working really hard and we
try to be examples for the zone and we try to help them as much as
possible.
Dad!!! Happy Birthday!!!! I really
wish that you have had an incredible day. You really deserve it. You have
always been my number 1 hero and I look up to you a lot and I hope to be like
you one day. Honestly. I have learned so much from you throughout my years and
while I've been on my mission. I thank you for always providing for me and
being by my side supporting me in everything. In sports, school, work, my life,
and my mission. I really would love to call you so I could keep thanking you,
but my time is short. Thank you for being an amazing example for our family and
for always loving us no matter what. Heavenly Father will bless you. I love you
Dad.
That is all. I love you! He loves
you
Elder Smith
