Okay, low-key, just had a crazy week. 

I'm gonna start this off with the best story from this week. Yesterday we went to our friend's house. He is super cool, but really, really funny kind of goofy, a little weird also. We went with our senior couple in our district named the Paulsons (who are awesome) because he lives kind of far away. So we took a car to get there. We started talking to him and we quickly found out that he hasn't bathed in a month. He told us that he drinks ginger, and that's how he keeps his body clean-yikes! That was crazy.The next thing he told us was that he's in contact with Elon Musk and Sandra Bullock.Don't know how and i'm pretty sure he's getting catfished. Then he brings out food for us. The first thing he tells us is that he prepared ramen noodles and I'm like sweet, how can you mess up ramen noodles, you boil water, then put the seasoning packets in and drain noodles like easy. But the pot he brought out was not the right color it was GRAY and BROWN and not appetizing whatsoever. So we started to eat.Then he brings out food for us.

So we started to eat and our poor senior couple was not doing great, so I felt bad. I apologized so much after that. Then when we were done , he took all the bowls that we had used and pours all the leftovers back into this big pot. Then we asked him how he made it, and he turned that into How long ago he made it? And the response we got was one month! Wow, wild. Yeah, by far one of the craziest meals I've had on my mission.

We also had transfer news this week. I am staying here in Brussels and receiving another companion named Elder House. I'm Low-key, so excited, it will be so much fun. We also had a miracle with 9 of our friends coming to church. But the chapel was so cold that we had to go to twice as small little room in the back , and everybody crammed inside , and it was kind of clapped.  

Spiritual thought 
Ether 12 41
41 And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in you forever. Amen

Elder Smith

 June 23, 2025 Hot!!!  It was so hot here in Saint-Quentin this week. I've never eaten more popsicles than in the last week. We only had one fan that worked and it is a mini fan, so yeah. But the Lord's work didn't stop.  We did a ton of finding like normal, we also had an exchange which was awesome. We went to Lille and  did an exchange with our ZLs. I learned a ton up there to bring to Saint-Quentin. Also I don't know why but I seem to find and be companions with people from French Polynesia.  On Friday we crossed this family from new Caledonia and they are so cool. It was Elder Tuua and Tupana who initially talked to them. And then we were near the river when I saw them and we started talking about church and all it was a super awesome experience.  Sunday came around and one of our amazing members brought her friend with her to church! She is soo cool and we're excited to teach her it truly was a fun week.  We just went grocery shopping and bou...

 April 21, 2025 By far the craziest week of my mission!!  I'll just take you from Tuesday to Thursday  Tuesday I called the cops. It was late and we just got done with a lesson with one of our friends (who is a little crazy). So we get done with this lesson and all of the sudden I see this guy sitting on the church entrance right outside. His hands were on his head and there was some blood on his knuckles and he was telling us all these crazy things. Anyway, our friend looks at me and says "it's a demon", so she puts her hand on his head and repeats something in her native language (Dutch). In the end, we didn't know what to do so we just called the emergency line and had some police officers take him to a psychiatric hospital. So that was my Tuesday. Wednesday we got lost trying to get home, then on Thursday we went to Institute (which is like a class for all the young adults in the Paris area). This drunk guy walks in and has some problem with the seminary direc...

 September 8, 2025 Hello everyone. Hope your week has been good. I did a lot of things this week, starting out transfers happened. I am now with a new companion named Elder Jones. He is super cool and goofy. We're gonna have a lot of fun together. I can already tell.  And big news from my family, my little sister got her mission call to Mexico, Pachuca! Megan will be an amazing missionary. We went to transfers in Paris. It was fun to see all the other missionaries again! I got my tite de sejour, which means I'm now legal in France. And to cap it all off, we got to eat at 5 Guys sooooooo good! An old friend from the mission sent me a wedding invitation. He's trying to kill me. Charleroi has been awesome. There are so many people to find and teach. Just this last week we had the opportunity to put one of our friends on baptismal date. His name is Benjamin. The baptism is on the 11th of October and we're super excited. He is super cool. He came to church yesterday. He told...
