Hello all.
Jen Smith
Sam! How are you?
Samuel Bruce Smith
I'm doing great
Samuel Bruce Smith
I'm now using the Root Beer lip-balm that was sent in my package and I'm loving the taste of root beer on my lips all the time.
Jen Smith
Oh, yay! I'm so glad you got your Christmas package. Did you like it?
Samuel Bruce Smith
I love it. I'm glad you sent an oil vile. It feels nice to have it at the ready.
Jen Smith
Stephanie and I picked it out while we were visiting her in Utah in November.
Samuel Bruce Smith
I really like it.
Samuel Bruce Smith
I also want to know what everyone thinks about eh new announcement.
Jen Smith
I think the best benefit is strictly for the missionaries who can be strengthened by their families if they need it.
Chad Smith
My first reaction was honestly both happy and sad. There was something tough about only taking to family 4x on a mission. But I think it is a great change. Well
Chad Smith
Best.
Samuel Bruce Smith
I don't know if it will make me miss home more or less. or make me focus more or less. We might have to try it out and see what happens after a couple of weeks.
Jen Smith
Good plan. It's nice to know you have the option of you need it. Luckily, we're not super sentimental and pretty independent, so it's all good!
Samuel Bruce Smith
It will have to be next week. Because I need to pull some personal money and buy a good set of earbuds.
Jen Smith
Okay, we'll plan for that.

I'm also planning on getting a suit with chitenge, pants and a tie made for me.
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:29 AM (12 days ago)
Oooh. That would be coolly cultural of you. I'm excited to see what you look like! You have extra in your account, $2000, I think. So you can afford it.
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:30 AM (12 days ago)
Also, we got an email from Pres. Kupu that you are a District Leader now. How is that?
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:30 AM (12 days ago)
My companion borrowed me his earbuds if you want to try it now
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:30 AM (12 days ago)
It's good.
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:30 AM (12 days ago)
Sure! Let's try a call.
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:31 AM (12 days ago)
Use Dad's phone.
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:31 AM (12 days ago)
Or my chat.
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:31 AM (12 days ago)
I can only do a video call but you won't be able to see me.
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:32 AM (12 days ago)
Okay. Will you see us?
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:32 AM (12 days ago)
Probably
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:32 AM (12 days ago)

Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:32 AM (12 days ago)
Let me know when you are ready.
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 7:32 AM (12 days ago)

Samuel Bruce Smith

Sounds good, Sam. We love you!
Joshua Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:01 AM (12 days ago)
If it is really difficult we will stick to texting.
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:01 AM (12 days ago)
Not too difficult
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:02 AM (12 days ago)
I actually really like it.
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:02 AM (12 days ago)
We'll see what kind of effects it has in the long term
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:03 AM (12 days ago)
You'll know the best way to use this new policy. We're happy to support you in whatever way is most effective.
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:03 AM (12 days ago)
Maybe it's better to have weekly small interations instead of bi-yearly long interactions
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:05 AM (12 days ago)
It might be more effective in the long run, yes.
Joshua Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:06 AM (12 days ago)

Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:09 AM (12 days ago)
It's really hard. The other elder is figuring it out on his own.
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:09 AM (12 days ago)
So I'm going to get him to teach me.
Samuel Bruce Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:25 AM (12 days ago)
It was really nice to "talk" with Ben
Jen Smith
Mon, Feb 18, 8:27 AM (12 days ago)

Baby girl is moving a ton! So that's fun for me to feel. Also, she likes pancakes. :P
In two weeks we get to see an ultrasound, so we'll have updated pictures of her. I can't wait!
