December 22 2014 Update!

so you got to see that Brother Gidley was baptized this week! I'm so over joyed and cried during his baptism/confirmation. When he was signing my tie in the room where we changed back he said "we don't need a tie. I'll always remember you for the rest of my life!" I have a new vision recently of helping all part member families in this ward before I leave. I know I will leave Farragut so soon and am worried about it, so I'll see what I can do in this short time. Speaking of part members, we've been weeting with Tony Manion. His wife is the lady that bought me those shoes to run the 10K, gave me the flashlight and a million other things.. Anyways, He's in the same situation as Brother Gidley was. We suprised a lady this week who has been going through some rough times. We left her a gift from Tina on her doorstep. Tony took us to do that and also to Chipotle! Tony was in the hospital this last week so we went to give him a blessing but his home teachers already did! I was so happy to hear that. I sent him a text after he got out of the hospital to see if we could come over and he texted back saying "You are always welcome in my house. Remember that always". We had a great lesson on the priesthood the other day. Things are loooking GREAT! Watching Frozen this week was good. I enjoyed it, but it was wierd to watch a movie. I'm so used to this 2 year period of time that the movie felt like 5 minutes and everything happened so fast. Elder Hansen had a breakdown after watching it and going back home, but he is all good now. All is well in...Tennessee. See ya soon! Love you much Elder D. Smith
