Elder Smith has got behind on journalling

Elder Smith was transferred to Bon Air Virginia and has a new companion Elder Caskey.

Not enough time though, I do love being a missionary though. Super, super great. Recently with transfers, I am in the Bon Air Ward with Elder Caskey. What a great guy, really really inspiring. Being a Zone Leader though...honestly isn't too different, of course it has only been 3 or so days. It has been a really wonderful 3 or so days too, the first day we talked to a lot of pretty cool people...and just in a tiny square! Really cold square-Jamisha, Kay(t)lin, Diego, and Steve! They were all pretty cool. It really has been a wonderful past few days here in the new area...sleeping wise...well I don't want to complain...but the things I thought would be here(a pillow, blanket, nice hangers for my suits, stuff like that...well it wasn't here)...so I have adjusted and figured different things out. It has improved since which is good.

I most definitely enjoy being able to spread the message of Christ this Christmas season. It truly has been wonderful. We recently met this really cool couple/family that has talked with missionaries and has a member friend from up north. They are named Chassidy and Richard. They are...well making great progress.
We again...not sure if I mentioned before...but raked lots and lots of leaves. A few weeks ago we collected 50 or so bags. This week we went to a house and did 40 bags or so...it was a lot. Good fun though.
Look forward to skype,
Love ya
