Wk 58 - Broken foot

Companion: Elder Duarte
Area: Talchuano

Power was out...

My comp has been struggling with a hurt foot. what happened was a couple weeks ago when we were watching a chile soccer game and we had to run home to get home on time and we have to run through a valley with rocks and stuff but my comp and his church shoes that are really thin on the bottom so he stepped on a rock and ever since then his foot has hurt him. so now we got to stay in the house so he can rest his foot. i did give him a blessing this past week as well. it isn't all that fun to stay in the house but i have been doing some sweet studying though. i have fell in love with reading the scriptures. i was studying the importance of forgiveness and reading the liahona of july and it honestly is sweet. oh by the way mom we get liahonas in english here just so you know. haha but those messages in there were awesome. my comp was laying in his bed for his foot and I was sitting on the couch thing crying because i was feeling the spirit so strong. it was awesome the whole time i was studying i just felt the spirit super strong. i love this gospel and i know it is important to read the book of mormon every day. i hope every single one of you are reading it every single day! it is the key to feed your spiritual side and stay strong in the gospel. 

today as well we went to a church that has a court inside the church. it is like the only church that has it here in chile but we went and played volleyball, soccer, basketball, and football as well!!! and we had a bbq and the activity was way sweet!!

I am grateful for you guys and it is pretty cool that you are in the estes park hanging out as the family!! i love every single one of you and have the best week there!!

love, elder smoot

(do you get cold?) this past week as well we had the power go out at our house, and that was when i got a little cold hahah

 (church attendance?) like this past week was 64 which was way low but it was raining and the members dont understand that you still got to go to church!!!

(flea bites!?)  no right now i dont have a huge problem. it is like spurts where i get bit one night and the next week i dont get touched it is weird but i bought a spray at lider to kill the fleas and it seems to help a bit
