Week 53 - Elder Fairbanks and Grilling a Lamb

Hello,
Yes I recieved a letter from grandma that is a letter of her
testimony of the savior. Does Parker and Colton visit her often. They
need to twice as much because I am not there. Can she speak and everything?

Here in Argentina with my new companion it is really fun. He doesn´t
know hardly any Spanish but he will learn fast. I am doing my best to
help him. We are finding new pèople to teach which is really good. I
love it. This last week also I cooked a bbq with members and I cooked
a lamb by myself. A full sized lamb on the grill! I will send you
pictures next week ok. Here we are trying to have more activites to
help the unity grow. Tell me any ideas you have but remember to keep
them simple.

This last week I got a bottle of maple syrup from a mom who came to
pick up her missionary from Argentina. It was amazing and I got a jar
of peanut butter =) It made me think did you send me j dawg sauce and
wingers sauce yet? Or what else did you send? I love you mom thank you for being
my mom.
Love, your son

Week 52 - District Leader and New Companion

Hello family. Thank you for telling me about what is happening with
grandma back at home. I did receive a phone call from the president on
Sunday night and I couldn´t believe it at first but then I thought
about it. And it is like you said grandma was preparing us for this
very moment. From the phone call I had with her on Christmas up to the
letter I received from her a week ago. The things she said have left a
lasting influence on me as I am sure that they have on you to. It was
very lucky that dad was there at the time to help her to call
everyone. How is she now? Is she able to speak and things like that?
Tell her that I love her so much and I am with her in prayer. Tell her thank
you for all the things she has done for me. If it wasn´t for her I wouldn´t be
out here and none of us would be who we are.

As for my week it has been kind of a struggle because my mini
missionary was anxious to get home, So it made things a struggle. But,
it is a new week and on Thursday I am getting my new companion from the
MTC! I can´t wait! This means I will be in this area for a
long long time, 5 transfers=7 Months. Also today I was informed that I
am the new district leader here, which sounds exciting. I am going to
meet my district this next Tuesday. I already know many of them, but not
the newer ones to Pergamino. I like Pergamino and we have some baptisms
coming up which I am excited for. There is some great people here and
I am going to make it a great experience for my kid. That is missionary terms.
I love you guys and keep me informed on everything OK?
Te quiero Elder Smart
