August 15, 2011


Hello everyone! It’s been a pretty good week. We got to see Kelly a couple times this week. We brought a recent convert to one of our appointments, he was able to really talk with her and answer some questions that she has. It was great. Sister Hope and I just sat there and they just chatted back and forth for a while. I think it really helped her out. She didn't come to church this week but we're hoping for a big week with her this week. She is great and is so excited about the gospel. :)

We met with a couple girls this week...they are sisters and their mom met the elders and told them to send us over. The girls weren't that interested but the mom sure was. She just wants her girls to make good choices and to do better things and she was just begging them to sit down and talk with us. It reminded me so much of 1 Nephi ch. 8 when Lehi is talking about Lamen and Lemuel and talking with them with all the tender feelings of a parents heart. It was sad to see how heartbroken this mom was and how much she just wanted happiness for her girls.

In sacrament meeting Bro. Cutts read this story called runaway bunny...it's about this little bunny who wants to run away but the mom keeps saying she'll go find him...If he turns into a fish to swim away...the mom would turn into a fishermen to catch him...if the bunny turns into a bird to fly away…the mom would turn into a tree to be his home...then he related it to how Heavenly Father feels about us. No matter where we run or where we go to "get away" or go to try different things...He will always be there for us...He will go find us..."leave the 99 to find the 1." He loves us all so much and wants us ALL to come home to Him no matter where we have been.

Hope you had a great week. Hope things are going well. Miss you. Love you all. Be good. Remember who you are. Live it. Love it.

Love Sister Smith
