Wow this week has flown by, its been crazy and has been a good week.
We started of the week kinda slow, allot of our appointments keep falling through it was very frustrating but at the end of the week it picked up and turned out to be a great week!!
Now I'm sure your all wondering about the weather and yes its been pretty good up here except for the past couple days have been rainy and actually this morning it started to snow so it was kinda dumb but it stopped now and is just very cold.
On about Thursday we had this investigator that the missionaries have been working with for about 9 months. He has a Word of Wisdom problem. He is about 20 years old he is a really good kid and has such a big heart, he just can't seem to get over his addictions. But anyways we took him to the addiction recovery program the church does. They do it at the Stake Center here. It's about 20 min away from us so we had to get permission from President Clements but when we were going over there with our investigator he was really nervous and didn't want to go it was kinda funny, so we said a prayer before we went in. It was really good and when we got out he yelled, "that was amazing"!! So it was really cool to see him want to change and make some steps for changing. Since we have been working with him he has been sober for 3 week..... really cool ! That night when we got home from that it was about 9:30 at night and we got a text and it tells me that they wanted me to speak in Sacrament on Sunday in Hmong! I was like.... oh great I only have two day to prepare a talk and translate it all into Hmong.... it was really stressful!! lets just say that at the least!! So Sunday comes rolling around and I'm giving my talk and it went really well..... everyone told me I did a good job so it was really good! They said they could actually understand me ha ha.

So its been pretty crazy week!! oh then after church we went out tracking cause we were suppose to go to a fireside where President was speaking and our investigator bailed on us so we went tracking and it rained so so hard...I got so wet!! It was the hardest rain fall I have ever seen it was insane!! I'll send some pictures!! it was fun though watching the storm come in and then it just pounded us with rain!
We have met some really cool people this week and I'm so excited to keep going with the work!! Our apartment is really fun with us four Elders in it we have some fun times!! Anyway they do have tornadoes here in Minnesota... we haven't seen one yet but President Clements sent out a text on Friday that said we had an 85 percent chance of tornado this weekend but we didn't get one so that's good!! I think President is preparing us because he thinks this tornado season is going to be pretty bad up here... so it should be interesting!! Everyone in our apartment thinks that we are going to get hit hard because Minnesota is starting to vote on gay marriage and stuff like the California Prop 8! So we think God is going to punish the people of Minnesota! pretty crazy but we will see what happens!
There are allot of pretty lakes up here and its really beautiful here.... its awesome!
