Week 5- Helllloooo!

Helllloooo! I am still alive. Don't even worry, Sister Smith is still getting it out here. 

This week was good good. Feels awesome to be able to say that. Who knew, it gets better!!! Finally getting the hang of things by working my hardest AND in return, I've been able to see so many miracles this week and felt the Savior right by my side. BOOM! How lucky are we! Pshhh so good. Always work your hardest it will pay off my friends. 

 Had my first zone conference this week ayyyye. It was pretty good but definitely still getting to know everyone. We did our own version of the Olympics and went against each other. OF COURSE I FREAKIN WON BAAABY. That's how we do let's go. But on the real note I have the BEST mission President and was able to learn so much. We talked about how important it is to remember our covenants. We have such a special gift from God. The term for zone conference today was Covenant Conscius. I invite all of you to be covenant conscious this week!! This is the most important thing in our spiritual journey so ask yourself, "How aware am I of my covenants?" You WILL be soooo blessed! YOU WILL. President Nelson tells us to, "honor and cherish your covenant" you wouldn't ignore the prophet right?? 

 Just would like to let you know Sister Taala and I made an entire cake and ate the whole stupid. Thing. So worth it though. Just felt so very prompted to tell you guys that. It was a very spiritual experience. 

 Also got to talk to the man ELDER HALLOWS! So crazy. A guy in my ward served with him in Australia so we gave him a call. Elder hallows is the man keep it up our there. Ayyyeoo. Small small world

 Okay AND went on my first exchange!!! YEWP YEWP! Not going to lie I was nervous. I felt like I really wasn't ready for a new change already but I had a deep feeling something awesome was going to happen and I knew it would be worth it. And guess what. Best day of my mission so far I MEAN IT. Let me tell you why ooook. Let me tell you. - I was with Sister Vandemerwe (best sister EVER) and I even met her friend in Hawaii!!! Again small world. We had an appointment with a family in her ward so we went to their house! Wrong house. Whoopsie. Oh man but in return we met the nicest family on planet earth. We told them we are missionaries and share messages about Jesus Christ and the man immediately said, with the biggest smile, WOW! Can you please share one with us?! Come in!!! It was crazy. Literally so rare as a missionary but it was the best lesson ever. We were able to rely on the spirit so much and teach a lesson on the Book of Mormon. They kept saying "this makes so much sense!" Music to a missionary's ear. The spirit was so strong in their home and they were so kind to us. They kept saying how proud of us and what an amazing work we are doing. Exactly what I needed to hear!! Sad I can't keep teaching them because it's not my area but they're gonna go far! I can feel it.

 Longer email sorry but. Oh well! Missionary life is packed with so many things. Never ever is there a time to rest. 

 I love you all so much!!! Thank you to those that email me it makes my day I love hearing how everyone is doing. Email me when you get the chance! Have the best week ever. Sister Smith is always praying and cheering you all on and guess what? So is the Savior ALWAYS. NAILED IT. love you
