YAY!!! I'm so excited to see my brothers' Handsome face... Say Hi to Elder Trevor Smith for me!! - Ashley RobinsonReply
Hello E. T. Smith's family. I am happy you found the blog. Our daughter puts it up and loads pictures. Sometimes they don't turn out the way I would like but I am happy she takes the time to do it for us. Your Elder T. Smith is awesome. We went to a district meeting and he is going to be a great missionary. We have 5 Smith's, soon to be 6 Smith's in the mission. They are Elder (Black) Smith, Elder Tall Smith, Elder White Smith, Elder Glasses Smith, Elder All American Smith and your son chose Elder Ginger Smith because of his hair! We love him so much. He is very personable and fun to be around. They are all still trying to adjust to new areas and people but they are doing great! Keep the NJMM in your prayers, but we know you will! Love, Sister Jeppson

Feb. 25, 2013 Letter from Elder Trevor Smith
Dear ma and pa!
This week has been really
slow. No one answers their doors or their phones. And when they do
answer or make a appointment they just bail. So it gets frustrating! But
we went and saw a guy named Kou Dou Gou! ha ya weird name huh! But he
is a really cool guy and has a awesome family. he knows a lot about the
church and just wants to do whats right. He has a 3 year old boy and he is
feaking hilarious. He straight up raps like a thug! he is actually on
youtube. But we taught him for like 2 hours which is way past our time
but i invited him to get baptized and i was sweating bullets i was so
nervous but he said he will but wants to look more into our church so
hopefully he will get the right answer. But yesterday i had to say the
closing prayer in church. Let me just tell you how they do things in
this around here. So sacrement was gonna start in like 5 mins and one of
the counslers who is actually white came up and asked if i would pray
along with getting all the other duties done in that 5 min. Classic! But
the best was in Preisthood when a white guy who was born around here and
a old black guy just faught about the power of god for like 30 min. Me
and all the Elders in the back were just cracking up. I could sit in
that class all day! But after that we went and taught two recent
converts named Kianna and her older sister they are really cool i like
teaching them. but there mom is struggling and doesnt believe in our
church and you can tell she has done lots of drugs in her days. But we
gave her a blessing and it didnt go very well cause her crew came over
and was banging on the door during it and she kept talking and trying
to leave so it wasnt very succesful! But after we saw them we went over
to another recent convert named Matilda, she is from Nigeria Africa and
she is a model! :) ya she is pretty! but dont worry im not bringing anyone
home! haha but they fed us African food which was spicy spicy fried rice
and fish! it was siiiiiiiiiick! i did not like any of it. I just kept
thinking about what your face would look like if you saw the plate of
this food. not good and no one else liked it either. but we had a good
lesson after, she had two friends over who werent members and the one guy
had lots of questions. Well im still missing all of you guys and home
but things are getting better just trying to stay busy and make the best
of it. Love you guys.

Me and mr jones lookin just sexy as ever
MOMMA,
So im in Scotch Plains and we cover the North area and I am
training Elder Vellinga! He is from Clinton, Ut! He is awesome! He has a
strong testimony and came out for the right reasons and is super
prepared to be here so it helps a lot to have him in a new area too!
This week has been pretty stressful trying to figure out everything and
how the area works and who to visit when!.... Its crazy.. haha but we
are figuring it out slowly but steadily! We have met some awesome
members already though! And we get fed a lot here so dont judge me if I
send some pictures and im a fatty.. :)
Our apartment is super nice though! Its huge for a two man! Its
in a nice area too! we are spoiled! I have been spoiled with apartments
my whole mission so far! It is weird going to a two man apartment now
though.. Four mans are pretty fun! but its awesome! Its an old folks
home though I swear! It smells like old people every time we walk in!
And we havent seen anyone under 70 im pretty sure.. haha! We are like 4
miles outside of our area so we have to drive a ton! The area where a
lot of our members live is 7 miles from where we live so its crazy!
Sounds like everything is still going good with the
missionaries! :) It is hard for missionaries when we get transferred
too! You get used to an area and then you have to say goodbye to
everyone! AGAIN! haha but all the missionaries are awesome so im sure
you will get a good one coming in! And no one is bad at praying so I
dont believe that for a second! Just keep doing what they ask and you
will know! :)
I text Trevor every once in a while and he is doing good! He is
awesome! I saw him his first night here and we went running the streets
of Newark together!! haha Well I love you Mom! Hope everything is going
good!! :)
Love Elder Jones
My new address is:
530 Park Ave.

Trevor landed in NJ on Feb. 11, 2013
Dear Ma and Paps!
I made it to Snookiville. Today has been very interesting. The flight was about 4 hours long and it was pretty bad weather but we made it.
Once we got to the airport President Jeppson and his wife were there waiting for us, they are nice.
Then we got in the cars and went to the downtown Newerk and there we met some missionaries that have been out for a while.
So we pulled up to a bunch of them and as I was walking up I saw a familiar face with his hands up in the air and it was Colby!
I ran up and gave him a hug it was really weird and I'm still in shock but after that we walked the street for a little and started to hand out cards and there was black people everywhere!! Not gonna lie, it was scary but lots were nice and some were very crazy!
But just letting you know I made it ill talk to you soon.
Love:Elder Smith
He emailed us this email the first night after arriving in NJ
