Week 37 - April 14

 Ok everyone I should be home the 13th of August and i have no idea what to do after the mission. well i definitely need a job, but school i don't know what i want to study. its hard to think of that when focusing on the mission i was hoping i would get some inspiration but nothing give me ideas of what to study and i can start to think a bit more on what to study. My comp is hna Jasso she was born in mexico but raised in idaho shes really funny but is serious when we plan and teach we want to enjoy the mission to its fullest. Congrats to all who are having babies this year i feel behind but thats mission life i only have 2 transfers left which is weird the next transfer is only 4 week and then my last will be 8 weeks long i will probably be leaving this area after this transfer my last transfer i will have a new mission president from the states so that will be interesting  its getting colder  here. O and i forgot last week i received a letter from the mission, that asked us to tell our families to not send any more packages because its about a 99% we will not get them, i still wait for my christmas package but i probly wont get it. its fine hope everyone had a  great easter love you all have a great week

love Hna Smith  

Week 36 - April 7

week 35- March 31

this transfer is almost over wow cant believe it im also excited general conference next week well i leave for mendoza again this week we are having a special meeting with all the sisters in the misión so all the sisters are going to mendoza i'm really excited to see how many sisters we actually have but this does cut 2 days out of our week to work we have to be ion mendoza by 4:00  tue and we will  be spending the night there as well im excited but im not looking forward to the long bus ride they like to play movies that are not the best and even if you don't look you can hear it. we have a new family this week our first lesson was with our bishop he really is great he want to help us, have strong members, and only want us to teach so this ward is smaller but really they are fantastic all talk to the investigators or anyone thats new we need to be more like this greet others help them feel loved and wanted, if theres one thing I would like to invite members to do that would be to get to know the people that come in, love them.

Week 30- February 24

Another Transfer  gone how time flies.  Im leaving and going to Villa Mercedes its about a 5 hr bus ride from the city Mendoza. Well our JW Diego, left his church and has a date for baptism the 8 of march and our other investigator Vanessa also is getting baptized this Saturday.  i wont be here, sad, but its ok she wants her family to join the church as well so its great!  they are both Milagros. im happy that the lord prepared them and that we were able to find them. Diego invited us to go to his last meeting in the jw church  We didnt go but had members about his age go. We felt we would have been walking through fire,and we dont want to offend anyone. We had interviews this week as well our appt was at 2:30 we had our interview at 6:00ish crazy days this week but great days we are having rain again we have entered the rainy season its been a bit crazy usually its march that they start getting rain  but its fine its cooler and nice. well I love you all hope you have a great week and next week Ill tell you about my comp I think she is a latino finnaly =0)

Week 29 - February 17

what a week full for the lords hand in all that we do. we have 2 investigators that have a date for baptism  im so happy, both are golden 1 is a JW and he said he knows the Mormon church is true. the other is a girl we met in the street she is so in tune with the spirit it amazes me we  came to church this Sunday and wants to go to institute and to a broad cast this Thur also is interested in family history,  on top if it all she is excited for her baptism. im grateful for this opportunity to serve the lord I only have 6 months left and im going to make the most of what little time i have here i love the people and this language yes its hard for me to speak but the blessing is that the spirit speaks for us through us and those that are ready  its like in the gospels those who have ear to hear will understand we had rain the last 3 days so its cooled off a lot but its back to the heat again the blessing of the lord great o small is fantastic

hope you have a great week love you all

Hermana Smith

PS Happy late Valentines Day =0)

Week 28- February 10

Wow I cant believe it.  Thursday is my year mark in the misión!  We have been working really hard and have been having many more new investigators its amazing the éxito we have when the members and missionary's work side by side and bring the gospel to their neighbors and friends I no the hard part is to share the gospel and to bring it in  a causal conversation but the lode helps and blesses us when we try. its amazing when we step back and realize the lord hand in our lives ever person we meet, every trial we have is there for a reason. Im grateful for this opportunity to share what i know and to bring hope and happiness into the lives of many and all will accept all we can do is invite and then its up to them to accept and act to show our faith and willingness to do the lord will 

I hope you all have a great week  love you tons and and pray for you all

Love Hna Smith
