I too am amazed at how fast the days are flying by! This week felt like nothing! We've been enjoying the "Light the World" campaign! We've been singing Christmas hymns in the trains (I was really nervous at first but it gets easier every time we do it). No one has accepted us in the train yet but I trust that we are planting many many little seeds every day!
This week we had a great zone conference. We gathered together with the stake and ward leadership and were taught by President Smith, Elder Batalla (area seventy) and President Foti (stake president). It was a very different feeling to be taught with the members but it makes so much more sense now that I think about it. We have to work together to have success!
On Friday, I read the youth devotional from President Nelson and his wife. The first time I listened to it I thought, "meh, I'm not a youth. I can't do these things." Rereading made me see that I can do almost everything that President Nelson asked of the youth. I decided to join the Lord's Youth Battalion! So, yes. I made a little plan for what I'm going to do and I'm going to do it!
As for Christmas plans on the ward's part, we're having a ward dinner this Friday. I don't remember anything else.
Transfers are coming tonight! I'll find out if I'll end my mission in Suarez or somewhere else. Ah! It's so crazy to think that I only have one transfer left. I hope it's the best one yet.
I told Dad today that I would like to work for him when I get back in January. What questions or suggestions do you have for me as far as plans that I need to make before I get back?
I love you!!!!! Enjoy the snow!!!!!!!!!! (I hope more comes :)
Love,
Elder Smith
