1st Letter from our Missionary! - 7/24/13


Dear Mom and Dad, and Family,

We did it!  It is so weird to think I am in the MTC right now…I’m loving it!  I won’t lie it has been pretty hard so far.  Right when we got here we hit the road running.  I have been doing well!  I’m a little homesick and I already miss you guys, but this is what I need to be doing right now.  I have felt the spirit today and I know Heavenly Father is helping me out.  I haven’t cried since I last saw you guys so that has been a prayer answered:!

My companions name is Elder ……  He is from Mesa Arizona.  I like him.  He is a good kid and we already are great friends!  He is a little shorter than me and he is a big theatre kid…OH BOY!  So far we have gotten along really well.  We got lost today and were a little late to one of our meetings!  It was funny!  The food was great tonight!  Chicken Cordon Blue!  Wasn’t anything like home though…Man, I can’t believe I am a Missionary!  It is a great feeling knowing I am a full time servant of the Lord.  And it is great to know that every missionary here is feeling the same thing that I am!  We all are in the same boat!  There is a scripture that I learned today.  It is Mark 5:36.  Be not AFRAID, only BELIEVE!  It really is hard to do that.  But I’m going to put my trust into the Lords hands.  I know he will bless me for it!  And our whole family!

Well I’m sorry this is short, but it is already lights out!  I love you all and of course I miss you!  I’m going to be okay!  I love you all!

The church is true, the Book is blue, and I’ll see you in 2!!!!!

Love Elder Smith
