A Day in the LIFE of Elder Smith

Tuesday May 17, 2016

Well, it was a really good day, as well, during my prayer, I mostly thought that it was a normal good day, however, I was corrected in that, it was quite the miraculous day, so many blessings. Personal Study was good, I wanted to know why Christ sometimes has the title of Father, and the answer came very clearly, and it was an amazing experience. "..seek and ye shall find.." it is a true scripture. The rest of studies were good, lunch was quite tasty, had some pasta. After that we went out, we first went to Chris Eby's place to learn about Family History Work so that we can help teach it to others. It was good, a little funny though, we were at his apartment, then Elder Snow didn't think we could use members wifi, so we walked down to McDonalds to use that wifi, then Elder Snow texted the Zone Leaders, and found out we could use members wifi. So I bought an ice cream cone, then we headed back to Chris's apartment. Found out that lots and lots of my family history has been done. It was kind of crazy. However, that was good. Then we headed to grounds and surprisingly there wasn't a crazy amount of people however there was a good amount. We met this one girl that we are meeting tomorrow! Then we ran into this Chinese girl she was really nice named XiaoYu, while we were teaching with her, Paul walks up!!! haha it was kind of a crazy miracle! Especially since we needed a pen, he had one! It was pretty cool haha.


Later, we had to give the Sisters an Arabic Book of Mormon. Later we went to Two Guys Tacos, Alex gave it to us for free which was pretty crazy. We both got Loaded Nachos, those were good, actually quite good. A little too salty though. As we she gave us this super big packet of stuff that she wants answers to and discuss next time. I little intimidating…we shall see how it goes…However the nachos we got were quite tasty! Then we left, gave a Book of Mormon to some homeless men that asked for one, kind of got lost walking back to grounds at one point haha. Saw a dead snake on the ground. Talked to a really nice girl named Christina, she said we could talk tomorrow! Went back to grounds, there weren't too many people, haha ran into Paul again! As well apparently he was on the Virginia swim team! The club team, however that is still way cool! Then ran into this one girl, don't remember her name, however she was really really cool, and really nice. Doubted a lot of things that we talked about, however recognized that we have to have a sort of "leap of faith" which was good. She was super cool, knew a little bit about us, met a Mormon in Italy actually, kind of crazy haha. We talked to her for a long time, actually turns out that she is from China, that was pretty cool, she is also Christian. She is leaving very soon though, so we gave her a card, and how to get a Book of Mormon. We ended up talking with her for quite awhile, too long I guess because we actually missed our bus haha.

We got home, planned some stuff, then headed to bed!
