but this week went good. so momma i found out that renae henderson is going to be going to provo in june and so she said that she could take some of my stuff home with her so be on the look out for that as she comes. its three big things and ty doesn't get any of my shoes!!!!! none!!!!!
so i ended up in ankeny iowa! just a few short mins from ames and from des moines!!! i am with elder blackburn. he as aspergers and so i guess that president wanted me to finish strong by taking this elder out as much as possible cause the last elder who trained him said that this will really stretch me. im sorta afraid of what that means but i'll face it head on. he is from layton utah and has been out for 3 months now. something cool about this now is that elder herrin is my zone leader in ames. haha pretty funny being so close to him. :) im excited about that.
we didn't get very much done during these last three days since it was a lot of walking around and talking with people but we did manage to see a few member families around our house. so that was good.
not much else has happened. i'll answer questions now.
well thats it for me!!! i love you so much!!!
love
Elder Smith
What'd you do for pday?
well we played basketball and some more basketball on wednesday but today i don't know if we'll get to do that. or any pday for that matter. no one really plays basketball. or soccer.
Where's your new city?
i am in the ankeny 1st ward
So...who is your new compaion? where's he's from? how long out etc.?
well his name is elder blackburn, he is from layton ut and he has been out for 3 months.
You said that you helped clean up from the flooding...is that your first flood there? even a little one?
yeah it is my first flood since i have been in the mish. it was only really bad cause there were people who lived right on the river and so the river flooded and was like at least a foot up on the houses. but the person we helped with had prepared and put sand bags up by the door so that the water wouldn't come through that way so it only came in a little at at time through the carpet. so we vacuumed a ton load!
well no i don't know anyone from canada. but i did have companions...well not companions but elders in my district from the mtc that went to canada. so i dont know.
You will be a blessing to the new elder with aspergers. They function differently in social situations, but knowing you - you will love him and lead him. You have always had a gift with young children. I see this being quite similar. I have a nephew with aspergers. It is comforting to know that he CAN serve a mission and that he just might be blessed to have a companion like you.
