Trabajo, hm *shoulder shrug*

Hola! 

This week passed very fast. During this week Elder Ryan and I worked a lot. 

Trabajo = work

Understanding

This has been possible the happiest week of my mission. I realized this week that when I do as much as I can, I feel good. I feel more confident in approaching the Lord in prayer. 

Although I have been taught this by many people (thank you Mom, Dad, my Grandpa Smith, Dale Perry, and many others) it has been incredible to experience the truthfulness of this principle. 

I apologize for the shortness of this email. I´ll write more next week. 

I love you guys!!!

Dear Mom,

Thank you for the package! It arrived two days ago. I`ve been wearing the sweatshirt every night and will continue to do so as our nights get chilly. We have a little space heater in our pension and that's it. I'm going to be grateful for my sleeping bag come winter. 

We got the news for transfers and both Elder Ryan and I are staying in Suarez. Elder Ryan was assigned to be district leader! I'm not sure how many responsibilities that adds to his day but I know we´ll be traveling a lot more. 

I can´t believe that Andrew went to Prom! He is still too young in my mind. I have a feeling that I´ll be shocked when I get home to see how different everyone is. Especially Jasmine. Lindsey sent me some videos of Jasmine that I am yet to watch because the computers we´re using this week don't have sound. 

This week went by really fast. We talked with a ton on people and experienced much success. My relationship with Elder Ryan is improving. At times I get a little frustrated with how young he behaves but I always remember that I have things to work on too and that I need to love and be a support to him. And as always, I could use a little more humility and patience.

Could you send me the addresses of Cheryl, Grandma Sharee, and Grandma Pam? I´m want to send some thanks you cards.

I love you, Mom

Elder Smith
