Letter to Daniel's Mission President
All missionaries are suppose to write their mission president weekly. Occasionally, Daniel will "cc" us his letter to his mission president and the following is his letter to him this week.
hello president.
this transfer so far has been pretty crazy. i got sick the first day and am still getting over it. its really weird. doctors don't know whats wrong with me. but im fine. doing the lords work. training is really nice ive always had that desire to do so. ever since bateman i would always wonder how would i do that. what would i want to know. Elder hill is amazing. he came trained. he already knows allot and adapts very quickly. he has a quick sharp memory. allot better then
mine. he remembers almost all of the investigators names. he is a very hard worker as well. im proud to serve with him. sad that he will be leaving as well. its been interesting being a district leader as well. with Zone leaders in the disctrict. it makes things allot easier. its
really interesting to see where the district stands as well. i pondered allot this morning as to what could help them. i think based on their numbers and questions i came to the conclusion that "finding" is what we struggle with. do you have any suggestions as to what i could help them with during district meeting?
as for our investigators. we have a great set that seriously was placed in our hands. the lord just prepared them for us. the first emilia and rosalio they just called one day and said they want to get baptized. there daughters got baptized in florida recently. they have a bapt date for the 3rd of march. the next couple, rosi and miguel. they just showed up to church one day and wanted to do all they could to follow jesus christ and they loved the way we do things. they met with the bishop recenelty and we attended there wedding. they as well want to get baptized. they have a date for the 17 of march. that's that.

Elder Daniel Smith, 20 February 2012
Here are two of Daniel's letters; one from and the other from last week. He is now a District Leader and is also a Trainer (a trainer teaches new missionaries the in's and out's of how things work)
Sorry, but I don't know Spanish so I can't translate some of his words. :?
We haven't heard from Ammon in a couple of weeks. Prior to that we just got a sentence or two saying that he is very busy right now.
Love, Karen
okay, sooooo check it out.
my first day of training i was sooooooo sick. im still a little sick.
i think i got bit by a bug.
so about DL all i do is make sure everyone in the district is good.
answer questions, support and encourage them. get numbers. depending
on all that i give a district meeting according to their needs. esta
bien. training is another story. my comp he is amazing. he came
trained im barely trying. hes awesome. the problem however is that he
is a visa waiter and will leave next week. : ( then..... i will get
another visa waiter. im not sure when he will leave. probably he will
make it to the end of this transfer. : ) but im loosing my escuincle.
oh well. so its been a crazyyyyy first week of this transfer. habia
muchas cosas. i miss elder jones too. he was my favorite comp. and i
only had him for a transfer. tender mercies. tender mercies.
well idk if you remember me talking ever when i was still in
lewisville we were gonna baptize Mari Torres but then i had to leave 3
days before she got baptized! oh well. guess what. she was baptized.
and then later on this transfer, the father Roberto was baptized. now
the kids should too! hoorayyyyy! planting seeds baby. i knew he would
eventually get baptized. so happy.
we should have 4 baptisms this transfer. 2 have a very segura fecha.
Emilia and Rosalia. but this old couple we just need to meet with them
and set one up. they both came to us. so it was a blessing. the lord
is always preparing people for us to teach. seriously.
well hopefully i get my package soon. : ( just here. all alone.
without a package. all alone. no family. all alooooooone.
would yall like anything. souvenirs? i live next to allot of shops.
Mexican ones. that sell cool Mexican stuff. like hats. whatev. just

Daniel's letter from last week
hey madre mia!! no me lo dias eso! hay chihuahua huey!
sooooooooooooooooooo i have such good news. such good news. its so goood that im not going to tell you. haha. sorry. im sending a letter home with all the details. yeah. but i will give you a little something of what i did this week. we went to the dallas cowboys stadium. wow. sooo freakin cool!!!! i took pics then my camera died. but we went to the lockers and a bunch of clubs. it was a cool tour. $20. its in our area! so i can go back any other pday if you want souveniers. i almost bought a hat but i cannot afford one. : ( but dad i feel sorrow for you. it was a really cool experience. maybe we can go again. Together. they have the most flat screens in any stadium, plus its the largest stadium in the world. i just know allot of random facts. we went to the vip center where jerry jones hangs out when he watches the games. pretty coool. and the main screen in the stadium was soooooooo big. one of the largest in the world. they showed the highlights of the cowboys. i actually liked football. i think i like it a little now. que raro huh!?
so yeah im a missionary sorry. i work and am serious and am not able
to do things like that. thats sinning. our investigators. really good. we have 4 solid baptismal dates. its transfer week. not saying anything about that. sorry. saved for the letter. aaaaaannnnnnddd. we do not say espanols. if you were to say that it would be espanoles. but those are people from spain. they say espanos. bien sencio. so hope everything is good. write me back. so are you not sending the package until nates done with my ipod?

Elder Ammon Smith, Sun, 8 Jan 2012
Well, I see that you enjoyed my letter from last week. I'm sorry for that, it was a busy week working with computers and by the end of the week I never wanted to use one again. For the new year we had to update a few systems that we use her in the office. That was definitely the bane of my week.
As for good news, we are having another baptism this coming weekend. Her name is Andi. She is 40 years old and she was referred to us by a member. She is a very nice lady, and we are so excited for her! We have seen an enormous change in her these past few months as she has been obedient in prayer, reading the scriptures, and keeping commitments. It truly is a blessing to be able to witness one of Heavenly Fathers children returning to Him.
My companion and I have both taken on fairly hard assignments this past week. We will be reopening an area. It was closed down because missionaries about 3 to 4 years ago said that their work had died out there. This area is located north of Budapest. My companion and I have been working out there a little bit recently and have found success. So, we spoke with the Mission President and made it official. We are moving out to this area, which is called Óbuda, and will begin working there as hard as we can. The President has given us 6 month to make something out of this city. If not enough success is found after this allotted time the area will be closed.
President has also informed me that this will be my last transfer as his assistant. Next transfer I will be receiving a new missionary and will also be working in Óbuda. We have spent some time looking for an apartment and for a meeting house that we can use to teach and hold programs. We have already found both! So, now that I know what my last assignment is. I feel that I will be able to concentrate all my attention to this. Like I said in the past, I would like to finish my mission with alacrity. I don't want to get distracted by the fact that I'm going home (as exciting as it sounds). I still have the last words of what my wonderful mother whispered to me, while holding me in her arms at the airport, echoing in my mind, "Don't waste one second". I don't know if I have lived up to these words in full but I still have some time left on the clock. I would like to play hard until the clock runs out. I have been given an amazing opportunity to do so!

Hellllooooooo!
I got my package and that letter and i couldn't be more happy. thank you so much for sending me something. it meant allot to me. especially that letter!!! it was a big surprise. as for the GPS it was $100. and mom when your in Texas you need a gps. the roads are old and unorganized and when we leave to Dallas we don't have any maps. : ( I got a tomtom. its the cheapest i could find. its speaks in Spanish to me, so its our Liahona. for my refund i got $60. finally. but as for my tomtom I'm going to let my most trusted members borrow it for me and download a bunch of voices for me like Yoda or Mr. T.
my comp hates the cold but he's from Colorado. haha! so if we get a blizzard... bring it on.
my health has been good. just been waking up early or a speck late. we got a new phone and were trying to set the alarm, its trips out sometimes.
A guy, john fletcher, wrote me. Is he the bishop? I assume so. He asked me to write back and answer a bunch of questions for the young men. Are there allot in that ward? was our last ward bigger? are there allot of rebel young men that need a lashing? haha!
Soooooooooo. I got a blessing and my Spanish has improved soooooo much since then. I can finally really understand the people. I was given allot of things. and I've been so blessed since. : )
We had a loooong week filled with eating food and finding people. We're still teaching the same people. Jesus Alberto Melgar is improving soooo much. He's invited his family to listen and to come to church. He said this is the truth he's been searching for. We will give him a chapter to read and he reads like 6 chapters ahead. He's in like chapter 16 of the Book of Mormon. He also stumbled by accident upon Moroni chapter 8 and said, "hey that makes sense". We invited him to a ward party and he said he will be a member one day. haha. wow. sad thing. he leaving to Kansas for Christmas for 2 weeks. So we look forward to setting a date with him when he gets home. We've invited him to be and he said yes, its just the date now. He is so golden. I'm so happy for them.
As for the Torres family we went over the baptismal interview questions with them just to see how they felt with them. The wife checked off on all of them but the father had some doubts about Joseph Smith. He doesn't read and pray often at all, but the wife does and that's why she is progressing. plus she's a Lamanite. es cierto. ; ). so we set a date with her for January 7th its for sure.
Like i was saying before we had a Ward Christmas party for the Latinos. There was such a goooooooood turnout, a lot of nonmembers. there was a childrens performance of the Nativity. It was sooooo funny! and then they had a pinata for the kids. we had two investigator families show up. very exciting.
We were fed a lot as usual but we just use a heck a lot of miles. Our miles got cut and we only have 35 miles a day, so we save them for our dinners, haha! Kind of crazy but it is what it is. We ate with some Cubans and woooooooowwwwww. they talk sooo fast! and don't pronounce the end of their words. You really have to think about what their saying. Its the same for Puerto Ricans, they speak funny, but boldly like Italians. I like it, most people don't...missionaries and Mexicans. You'd think that all Spanish people would be friends. No, No, No, Non ono onononnooo. A lot of people do not get along with Mexicans and Mexicans don't get along with Mexicans from Mexico City. haha! For example, general Spanish words will mean different things to people in different countries especially in central and south America. very different.
Merry Christmas!

HEEELLLLLOOO!!!
So first i would like to apologize for not writing last week. I was intending to do so but got to busy and the week past me by.
That's great that the family was able to get together and have such a good time. Sounds like everyone is doing good at home. Over here in this far away land things have been going well. My companion and I are really trying to set a good example of work for the mission and have been very blessed this last week in doing so. We were amazed ourselves with the many miracles that took place. We set some high goals at the start of our week and were able to blow those out of the water despite the fact of many challenges that took place.
This last week we began transfers, meaning we have started planning for next transfer and who will be serving with who and where they will be. We have had our hands full with other responsibilities so it has been a stressful week. I have also been sick the last three days we don't really know with what it is but there is a possibility that it is constipation...hehehe
Not to fun but I was doing some research on it and many things that can be a cause of it occurred this past week. For example stress, to much dairy, not enough water and not enough fiber. So I got some things I need to change fast so I can overcome this. It's not fun :(
So besides that weird stuff I'm still loving life out here and am dreading the day that I leave this country. I do look forward to the day of my return home. Although, the place I called home two years ago now seems so foreign. The same fears, questions and doubts fill my mind as did when I
left for this country which now after almost 2 short years has become the place that I now call home. With only three months left in my new home time has seemed to pick up and go faster each day. I hope I will be prepared for the end. I was only taught what to do to prepare for mission but returning from one, well, there are very few suggestions that I have found or maybe I just feel aren't enough.
I can't wait to get the Christmas package you sent. Did you find a tangled poster? It's okay if you didn't. I just found it to be very funny. So here is the info you need this is my personal phone number +36-70-702-1602 send me a text to make sure it's correct. You can look in your area book to find your code you need to dial out of the country. Other than that, the skype username I will be using is off2budapest under the name of Karen Smith (thats not you, that's a senior missionary here). So let me now what time you would like to call and I will talk it over with my companion.
I love my FAMILY!!

I have also been sick the last three days we don't really know with what it is but there is a possibility that it is constipation...hehehe
Not to fun but I was doing some research on it and many things that can be a cause of it occurred this past week. For example stress, to much dairy, not enough water and not enough fiber. So I got some things I need to change fast so I can overcome this. It's not fun :(
So besides that weird stuff I'm still loving life out here and am dreading the day that I leave this country. I do look forward to the day of my return home. Although, the place I called home two years ago now seems so foreign. The same fears, questions and doubts fill my mind as did when I
left for this country which now after almost 2 short years has become the place that I now call home. With only three months left in my new home time has seemed to pick up and go faster each day. I hope I will be prepared for the end. I was only taught what to do to prepare for mission but returning from one, well, there are very few suggestions that I have found or maybe I just feel aren't enough.
I can't wait to get the Christmas package you sent. Did you find a tangled poster? It's okay if you didn't. I just found it to be very funny. So here is the info you need this is my personal phone number +36-70-702-1602 send me a text to make sure it's correct. You can look in your area book to find your code you need to dial out of the country. Other than that, the skype username I will be using is off2budapest under the name of Karen Smith (thats not you, that's a senior missionary here). So let me now what time you would like to call and I will talk it over with my companion.
I love my FAMILY!!
