Yep! Still in Suarez!!! Elder Dominguez was changed to another area. My new companion is Elder Mitchell from Connecticut (not the Elder Mitchell that I was in the offices with). He's really happy and easy to get along with. We've been working a lot. The train singing hasn't been too successful but we find lots of people on the buses! This week we taught a young man (José) that we ran into while we were looking for the house of another guy I had talked to on the bus. We scheduled an appointment with Jose and when we went his first question was, "I've always wondered, did Jesus ever come to the Americas?" uhhhhhhhh, what? Who asks that kind of question? We gladly answered him yes and proceeded to share a Book of Mormon with him. The Spirit was present in the lesson. We're excited to see how he progresses!
The other people we are teaching are doing well. A few little hiccups with opposition from family members but we're hoping on some Christmas miracles.
Being in Men's Chorus again would be great, but I need to practice a lot. My voice isn't as strong as before.
Joining the Lord's Youth Batallion has been fun! I love feeling part of something bigger than me and my life. Praying every day that all of God's children can receive the gospel has made me think differently during the day. It's easier to find the motivation to talk to everyone that I can.
I'm pretty sure that we'll do the video call on Christmas day. I'll be able to write you about it on the 24th. I'm thinking it will be good to have a call with just our family.
Favorite Christmas song? Probably We Three Kings. My favorite Christmas Hymn is O Little Town of Bethlehem.
Elder Stokes told me that the package got to the offices. I'll get it on Thursday when we have our mission Christmas concert!
I love you! Talk to you in a week!!!!
Elder Smith
