Week 4 - Forklift certified

hello mga tao! Welcome back to the semi half monthly email of the one and only,  El Koberino I finally figured out a good way to untie and tie dress shoes. Why the heck do they make them so difficult? You can only like untighten one lace or the other?? The laces are always uneven! Nobody prepared me for this. Either way, u figured out a way. It really is ask and ye shall receive. Anywho, I'm in Denver! Everyone say Coloradoooooooo  (I'm a giraffe) -if you didn't get that joke I'm so sorry I promise I'm not super weird its a vine Alright, so, Colorado time. I'm with my trainer, his name is Elder Bye. Pretty cool right? He's gotta be one of the most jacked guys I've ever met. We work out 3 times a day, often cutting out half of lunch for the second workout. Its pretty fun tho. We've been teaching a lot of member lessons, and have had a bit of trouble finding new investigators. We called this one guy and set up a phone app with him so hopefully we get p...

Koby Smith Sat, Mar 20, 8:50 PM to bcc:  me Ciao gente! welcome, once again, to the semi-half-monthly email of truly, Ya Boi Kob. I'm sorry. I know. It's been two weeks. If you never want to hear from me again, I understand... nah i'm just messin. I am sorry about the wait, but to be honest there's not a whole lot to talk about. I've just been in lots of classes! They've been so awesome tho, I absolutely LOVE my district they're seriously the best. We all get along so well, and have a lot of small world moments. Me and my companion Elder Jorgensen have taught a total of three people so far, one of them we've taught twice but the other two we've taught three times. They're just actors, but it's still been an amazing experience, and although it's been nerve racking I've learned a lot. The weeks have FLOWN by, I can't believe I've actually done MTC for like 3 weeks. I'm gonna miss my district a ton, but I'm planning to st...

Week 1

Hello people! Welcome to the very first official email of Elder Smith!!!! Wow I cannot BELIEVE that I'm already in the MTC. I'm sure you guys get that a lot but man, It's crazy. It's all completely online, so I've been on my computer all day long. I play my guitar a lot, and chat with my district as well. There have been a lot of small world things so far, such as one of my teachers having gone to my high school, some of my district elders and sisters knowing my friends, and I'm sure they'll keep coming. I've already had a cool blessing come as well. Me and my mother were driving to a guitar place to fix up my old guitar a little bit, and as we were going down the freeway a pretty big piece of plywood came shooting around a car and completely demolished the drivers side mirror. Now I say this is a blessing, because it could have been much much worse. Basically, appreciate the little things, even if they may seem bad on the surface. A cool spiritual thoug...

Starting backwards.....  Cause mom doesn't want to reduce all the pics. :) Last family lunch together at Settabello.   See ya in two.... Last hugs goodbye He better not get any taller! Going to miss his hair!! Going to miss my puppies! Last breakfast - My mom made me crepes. This is where I spent most of my time for 3 weeks.  I loved my MTC group. :) The last weekend before I left we went down to St. George. Got some snuggles with my dad. Sleepy puppy! Got to be home for St. Patricks day. Playing my guitar as much as I can because I can't take it with me. :( Looking Sharpe Elder!! Skateboarding Elder?? I was driving with my mom when a piece of plywood ripped off her mirror.  It was crazy - Im glad we were both ok! Some of the treats for my open house.  I had a friend and family one. :)
