Dear Family,
So, this week was pretty good. I was on exchanges with an Elder in Zachary and was able to meet a lot of people that I have only heard stories of. My first companion Elder Porter started his mission in Zachary and had lots of stories to tell me about the people here. Its always great to go on exchanges and meet new people and spend some time with a new companion for a little bit. The transfer was pretty normal and nothing too exciting happened, On Tuesday we had a district meeting which was pretty fun. To begin our transfers we had been asking everyone questions to get to know each other better, and for the last district meeting we played a game of Jeopardy, to see how many of them remembered, along with questions about church history, mission rules, and Preach My Gospel. The rest of the week flew by until Friday evening. That's when we got a call from the missionaries in Zachary telling us they had been in an accident. We spent the rest of the night with them in the ER. Thank goodness they weren't hurt, just banged up.. The car on the other hand didn't fare as well. All of Saturday we were driving them to the pharmacist, tow yard, etc and it felt like all over the Parish. Yesterday was pretty much the same as well. One of the missionaries in Zachary was supposed to be going to Brazil today and instead he has to wait another 2 weeks. He is being transferred tomorrow which means that we will be going to transfers with them. It should be fun to be able to go to transfers to see what happens and not have to worry about any changes for me! Well yall have a good week and watch out for bears!
Love Elder Smith
