June 18, The Sabey/Smith Era

Well. Its over, and it has been an amazing 4 months with THE Elder Tyson Laine Sabey. He is just so awesome, and I am going to miss this guy like crazy.  Its been a crazy hard 4 months, but overall one of the best times of my life. We have grown so much together its been actually crazy to see the complete change in one another. The mission creates friendships that will last into the eternities, and I think I can confidently say that this will be one of them. Super sad to leave, but its all going to be good. I feel confident that we will meet up again some day, and will have some awesome stories to share with one another. 

Moving on the how the week went, it was a tough one. Cant even lie. All 4 of our people for baptism fell through. We have been teaching these two girls named Odalis and Amalia. They are best friends, and we have been working with them for several months now. They both read and keep all our commitments, but havent wanted to commit for baptism. But its okay because Elder Sabey will help them take that step once I leave. They are just some of the coolest people in the world. I love them. Our other investigators didnt have the chance to come to church because of family things. Plus they are moving again rather soon. So not sure what to do exactly. But Hey, Im leaving so Sabey can leave.

So to explain a little bit, I am leaving Muzquiz and going a little more north to a town called Allende. Im going to have my first latino comp, so my spanish is about to POP. I also was called to be the District Leader out there, so a little more responibility, but its all good. Its all for the work of the lord, and Ill do anything I can to help with his work and glory.

It has been so amazing thus far on my mission. Its been super hard, but I am staying hopeful. Thats what the lord needs for me, so I have to give him as much as I can. I love this gospel. I am so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ, and the time I have to talk about it. I am grateful everyday for the chance to be a missionary.

I love you all so much, and I hope you all have a great week!

Love, 

Elder Smith
