so, the reason i wasn't able to write on monday is because i was in the hospital with some investigator for moral support. we have an amazing relationship with them and they asked us to go up with them and we had to call pres. jergensen and make sure it was ok for us to go so we went there and ended up staying for 8 hours. we didn't really plan on us staying for that long but we got home at about 6-7:30 and then we still had to do our laundry. it was a tiring day but it was awesome.
well i got cut up for the first time on my hands. we were in oskaloosa on exchanges and we had some time between lessons and we decided to play 500 with the football. so the guy throws it and me and an elder from oskaloosa go for the ball and didn't have very good balance and so i took a little trip and slid into home plate on a gravel road and got some minor cuts on my hand, my shirt is tow up and im missing a button now. well somethings gotta happen some time. :)
we are really progressing with this lady who is a daughter of a member and she has just committed to quit smoking last monday the 31st of oct. so far i think she has been clean and is doing pretty well. she has listened to us teach her mom loads of times and knows that this church is true and i think we are going to invite her to be baptized soon but we wanted to wait "a couple a days"(pedro style from napolean dynamite)/weeks till we feel she is doing well with her smoking problem.
im super excited for our baptism next fri. it will be my first real baptism. ( i've had a few others but i wasn't as involved with them as i am with this one.)
thank you so much for the package you sent me with the extra stuff. i absolutely love the pics and it made me tear up when i saw adi as a puppy. ;)
anyways...this week has been heck week cause of all the halloween difficulties and then having to have transfers and having to get elder e. to everyones house to say goodbye has been really hectic. i love and miss all of you and can't wait to hear back from you!
love
Elder Jens Smith
