Letter #11 WHAT UPPP CC! From Elder Smith

Dear Fam!
This week was crazy! It was Chocolates death week they call it so he was gone a lot! so i was with the missionaries i live with for a few days. But on Friday i went on a exchange with Elder Davenport my MTC companion and we tore it up!! Remember Tonya and Domar well his real name is Darnel But we contacted them again and they let us in, Tonya was only there for like 5 min but we taught Darnel for like a hour. There going threw a crazy hard time! its sad, his foot is still broken and he cant afford to get it fixed. Also Tonya is still trying to get into a rehab for the drug problem and on top of that Darnel's son kicked her out of the house because she is to addicted to the drugs. But we had a crazy lesson with him it was good to be back with E. Davenport we always get r done when were together but we talked about the gospel of JC and how if he wants to have lives like us and be happy he needs to live it and he is a Baptist so he is a little stubborn but we just kept testifying to him and by the end he was crying and said he wanted to have lives like ours and we invited him to church and to read the BOM. it was a crazy lesson i was being a bold Ginger with him it was awesome! But that was the legit thing that happened this week. The funny moment for the week was we went to the hospital the go see Akoto the guy with the mice everywhere he was getting dialysis and when all four of us were walking in the hall a lady said she was scared of us because we looked like bombers from Boston! haha she must right the short bus because we have tags with Jesus Christ on them! But Tomorrow i get a new companion and Chocolate man leaves! Im staying in Irvington along with Elder Davenport and E. Hunt so that's good! pray for a good one! well love you guys! tell CC i said WHAT UPPPP!
LOVE: ELDER SMITH

Letter #10 Way toooo Funny! He is killing me!!! Ok, I now have a new favorite line!!!

Whats up fam!!

It feels like i was just writing you the week flew bye!! But this week was good, on Tuesday i went on a exchange over to a town called Elizabeth. I went over with my zone leader Elder Carbio! he is about 5 foot 2 he is from Spain! has a awesome accent, he told me he was going to take me to Spain and meet some of his little girly friends! ha i'm excited!! but anyways he is a Spanish speaking Elder. So my ginger butt pretty much just sat there and listened to a bunch of Spanish with a half smile on my face! ha It was fun though to meet the members! At the end of the night we went to the church and played games with the members it was hilarious! they played some weird games. But i met a investigator of there's at the church and she had a way cool thing happen. Before conference she prayed and asked God if she should get baptized and when Elder Christopherson came up he talked about the two kids and gave them stage names well he used hers! cool huh! On Thursday we went over to a members house named Nakeeya and she had a cousin who isn't a member there his name is Timonthy! he is half deaf like me so we got a long just fine! But he is super prepared and we had a good lesson with him about the gospel and he wants to get baptized! We set him for the 12th of May and he came to church yesterday and he loved it! But that was about it for this week the chocolate man leaves for home in 7 days! Crazy that i'm almost done with training already its going to be weird going back to a white companion! you know what they say "Once you go black you don't go back!" HAAAAAAAAA JK JK! ILL GO BACK! But i'll be getting a new companion next week so pray for a good one that i wont punch! :) But ill stay in Irvington i think because the work is picking up big time in my area so i'm sure ill stay! Well love you guys don't forget to read your Scriptures!

Love: Elder Smith
