Hey family!
happy birthday dad! we celebrated by eating peanut butter and eating homemade oreo ice cream. we enjoyed it a lot ;)
I´ve been showing off all my sobrino pictures and they all say oohhh and aahhhh. its quite adorable :)
Also, are you excited?! we have another baby!! you´re all uncles and aunts and grandpas and grandmas again! We have a new baby missionary!
yep! We´re training! Quite exciting. A breath of fresh air.
But it was a good week! We´re really starting to get around well with the area and especially with the investigators. We´re still cleaning out the old and bringing in the new and life´s just great. We are very blessed to be here in Alcalá, serving these people. My areas are definitely sacred grounds to me.
Something we´ve been discussing a lot was our manner of being as missionaries-whether serious, cheerful, etc. And we came to the conclusion that we needed to use the example of the Saviour, but also of our mission president. President Jackson is this super happy and goofy guy and we all are smiling around him. we just can´t help it!! Sometimes, with an awesome mission president like him, we´d think that the leaders would join. We have heard many stories of leaders using angry words or yelling, etc. and we obviously don´t appreciate that. Something i have learned that there is noooo excuse to be angry (in most occasions) and we should always smile and love. I´ll be taking that as a goal for these next few weeks and for the rest of my life. Its a really good Christ-like attribute.
Well family i love you!! thanks for your letters!!
love, Hermana smith.
