Alright, transfer board this week and the wildest thing happened. I'm actually staying in Brussels, but I'm getting a new companion. So I'm actually really sad, because I love my current companion, but I'm getting a new one named Elder Haubrick, who is an absolute chiller. 

A lot of cool things actually happened to us and definitely we were able to see the hand of the Lord work through us. One of the biggest miracles we saw this last week was with our friend Mack. When he told us how he was able to meet missionaries, it was an absolute miracle. He found the church thanks to a couple of members in England. Who helped him when he needed it. When he came here to Brussels. He actually lost contact with the church for a little bit. Then one day when he was on his phone, he saw an ad for the missionaries. Yesterday we probably had the most spirit-filled lesson with him, and fixed the baptismal date with him. He also speaks every single language, which is a massive win. This last week, I was also able to see two new members from my time in Charleroi. They are absolutely lit. We took a good amount of photos as well. 

This next transfer, we're actually going to be adding one more companionship of missionaries in Brussels as well. So instead of having 4 French elders. We're going to be having 6! As well as 2 Spanish elders and 4 sister missionaries in Brussels. The Uno games are about to get much more competitive. 

I can definitely see that the Lord is hastening his work in Brussels. As the Temple is starting to get built, we are seeing miracles every single day because of it. At church, it was absolutely amazing this last week. We had somebody come from an hour and a half away by train to come to church for his first time! He really liked it.

Spiritual thought 

3rd Nephi 27 

14 And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil—

15 And for this cause have I been lifted up; therefore, according to the power of the Father I will draw all men unto me, that they may be judged according to their works.

Love you all 
-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...
