Hello FAMILY!!!
It sounds like the house is crazy right now! I'm glad that I don't have to be there for all of that and I'll just get to see the finished product haha. I'm so glad all the boys had a good time at EFY! Jake have fun in Arizona! I'm so jealous! I've always wanted to do that.
So this week has been CRAZY!!!!! We've been so busy and so much has happened. This past week because of the temple there was a 12 page anti-mormon paper published and sent to every home in Carmel. Lauren, our new investigator, dropped us this past week and we think it's because of all the anti. We've had lots of people come and ask us about it and we always tell them the truth and then invite them to the temple to check it out for themselves. So in some ways it's been a good conversation starter and I think for some it will get them interested in seeing the temple.
On Saturday only a few sisters got to help out for the first day and Sister Lowry and I got to. Saturday was only the people who worked and built the temple and the neighbors. There was a dad and his two sons who worked on all the stone in the temple. They took Sister Lowry and I on a private tour and took us through every inch of the temple. It was so cool to see how much work went into the temple.
Yesterday was also a private tour by invitation only. From 4-7 all missionaries were able to come to the temple and bring their investigators. So yesterday I went through the temple three more times haha. It was so awesome to go through with our investigators. There were so many miracles that happened yesterday. Sister Lowry and I will basically be working at the temple all day every day for the next 4 weeks. It's so much fun and I love it already. I don't know if I'm biased but it's my favorite temple. It is so beautiful!
I love you all I'm glad you're all doing well. Mom I'm sure you did awesome on your talk! I wish I could've been there but I am there in spirit. Kels keep up the dating just don't get married haha. Dad keep up your hard work but don't work yourself to death. Only I can do that. Love you lots!
Love,
Sister Smith
