He became the president of the Big Cottonwood Utah Stake of the LDS Church in 1949. In 1956 he became the president of the Holladay Utah Stake. In 1958, Smith became the first assistant to Joseph T.

In 1969 Smith became the first president of the Southeast Asia Mission of the Church, which was headquartered in Singapore and had jurisdiction over Indonesia, India, and most of the countries in Southeast Asia.

Both other American servicemen and native Vietnamese were baptized as a result of these efforts. Smith had previously presided over the Central States Mission of the church. Smith married P. Lavon Petersen and was the father of five children. He was the grandson of LDS church president Joseph F. Smith. He died in Salt Lake City at age 76.
