ਹੈਲੋ ਲੋਕ! Welcome back to the semi half monthly email of an Elder who is so spiritually edified right now he may explode. (I've also been inspired by a good friends awesome emails to make mine more colorful. They will not be nearly as good as HH, but emoji time)  After one legendary Apostle talking to us, two 9 hour long bus rides, and way too many times singing the veggie tales theme song, I can confirm I have zero brain cells left. Maybe half. Of one. Not sure. Anyways,  Todays email is gonna be jam packed of pretty much purely spiritual goodness, so you're all in for a treat!  Elder Holland. That man is awesome. So funny. First thing he said when he walked in and saw all of us was: "I've seen all your pictures, the police are looking for you!" The Devotional was filled with jokes, table fist slamming, and enough stuff to write four pages straight in my notebook. Hes also just so insanely spiritual. And bold! He tells it to you straight. Obedience is key. Someth...

Talofa tagata! Welcome back to the thing I forgot to say the last like 10 emails, the Semi-Half-Monthly email of Elda Smith! Oops lol BREAKING NEWS: THE QUESARITO AT TACO BELL IS BACK IN THE MENU, I REPEAT, THE QUESARITO IS BACK!!!! Just had to say that :) Alright! Let's get into this! Might be a lil bit shorter today, I need to do these earlier. Maybe I should stop acting like a monkey with Elder Hassard so often. I have an addiction. That addiction is talking in the voice of Doctor Doofensmirtz. I just kinda slip into it often. It's extremely accurate. Our neighbors must be extremely confused. Spiritual miracle experience: We went to go talk to this lady we were supposed to do service for and ended up not being able to. Still went and said hi, and it smelled awful, there were billions of flies, and her 6 dogs would not stop barking. But, when we started talking to her about spiritual stuff, the smell went away, the flies weren't as annoying, and the dogs stopped barking. ...

Hallo Leute! Alright, there's a big fun surprise in this one. I promise. Not quite as fun as Billy Ray Cyrus showing up at your district council, but still fun nonetheless. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A VERY special shoutout to my amazing mother, who had a birthday yesterday! Must be nice not to look a day over 20! I wouldn't know because I'm still about 11 months away from being 2, but ya know. Happy Birthday mom :)) Another special shoutout to my awesome sister and brother in law! It's their anniversary today! love you cute nerds ;))) And now to get serious. There has been a casualty. Elder Hunt has gone MIA. Not really, I know where he is, but I do miss him a lot...   It's alright tho, my new comp isn't too bad. A lot of you may know him actually, in fact. (Here's where the fun surprise is, actually) His name is Elder Mclain Hassard, and we went to Lone Peak together!  He has helped me cope with the depression of losing Elder Hunt, and I love him lots! Elder Hunt is now wi...

و! So, picture this, I'm doing the dishes, Elder Hunt is doing something else, he's not in the room. I'm COMPLETELY zoned out, just going through the motions, when about 15 minutes later Elder Hunt walks out and says "oh fetch!" and starts yelling at me to turn off the water. I look down, and I am STANDING in a complete puddle of water that stretched out and had flooded our entire kitchen. I was LITERALLY standing in it and did not realize whatsoever. We cleaned it all up, but basically I was standing in the kitchen that I flooded for 15 minutes and never noticed. Don't zone out, kiddos. This section is long but VERY worth the read: So, this awesome family in our ward named the Reis' who are moving out. Brother Reis is 49% Hawaiian, so they're moving to the big island! You need to be at least 50% to get free land over there tho, so it's kinda really unfortunate he's only 1% away but oh well. He's the coolest guy ever, but lemme tell you abo...
