Elder Smith in the Manila MTC from December, 6 2022 through December 15, 2022

      This is Elder Kurtis Smith's Mom!  He does an awesome job writing an email each week.  He also takes pictures and captions them with Google photos. Just recently his Google photos were full.  So, we saved them on a flash drive.  I don't want to lose the captions and memories for these pictures, so I hope to preserve them here!  (I'm very new at this; we're going to give it a try)

There was a picture of two sisters and Kurtis and Elder Larsen here

There are so many pictures of  Kurtis with his district and other friends from the MTC that I have on my phone that were not saved or downloaded to the computer)

     I think I was able to screenshot, download and add those photos.  I just have to make sure they save this time.

12-14-22 / We went to the Manila WWII Memorial, these are some pictures from it

There are three videos that we did save to the computer (I'm just not sure if I can put videos on this blog)

     Elder Larsen (I need to check the spelling) had to go to the dentist today, and after talking with him for a bit, the dentist asked me to be his dental assistant because I had shown some interest 😂

     We were just re-bonding a bracket on his permanent retainer that had come loose.  He invited me back for the next wisdom tooth extraction he was going to perform

**There's a video of Kurtis helping
