New companion to train and a Challenge for us

Hey Family,
First off, on Tuesday we went down to the French Market. Wednesday we headed to Baton Rouge for transfers which was pretty fun especially since I was able to see a bunch of missionaries that I knew and got to see where they were going and what they had been up to. Elder Abbott my old companion was put in La Place so he isn't far away at all and serves with Elder White, so everybody from our MTC district have served with someone else in the district. I have never heard of that, but think its pretty cool. My new companion was Elder Mills. We spent the rest of the night getting stuff he needed and had dinner with some members at Subway. Thursday, we had to go to the bike shop to get some pieces that Elder Mills needed for his bike. When he had it shipped here it was missing some parts. We had a few lessons with some investigators which went well. Friday we did about the same thing and same with Saturday. We met with Mary who has a hard time accepting anything we say and I mean ANYTHING but I just think she does it to bother us. She is super nice and we have been helping her out with some things around her house. The other people we saw were the Conforto brothers. We watched the Joseph Smith movie with them and they seemed to like but Are pretty wary of accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet. We have talked to them about baptism, and now they both have realized they need to be baptized but have said they will probably do it in their church. So, we will be teaching about Priesthood a lot more. Umm Sunday was pretty fun. Two families invited us over for dinner and one of them was a crawfish boil! Wooo it was pretty awesome and definitely was one of the spiciest things I have ever eaten. Im glad I didn't have any sores in my mouth or chapped lips because they said its almost impossible to eat crawfish if you do!! So, plan on eating some spicy crawfish when that time comes! Today we are just going to go to the church to play some games with the district. It should be another good week coming up and I'm excited to see some new things happen in Kenner!
Love Elder Smith

PS "Brothers and sisters, can you imagine the impact if family and friends included what they are learning from their personal study of Preach My Gospel in their letters and emails to their full-time missionaries? Can you picture the blessings that will come to families when they know and understand better what their sons and daughters will be studying and teaching on their missions? Can you even begin to fathom the extraordinary outpouring of atoning grace that will be ours, individually and collectively, according to the Savior’s promise to all who bear testimony in the process of inviting souls to come unto Him—and then following up on those invitations?"
Elder Ballard

SO SHARE PMG STUDIES WITH ME PLEASE!!
Love Ya'll
