Hey everyone...
Everything out in Minnesota is going great. I'm loving it. The weather has been great but one thing is I only have one short sleeve shirt and its a killer in all these long sleeve shirts ha ha but its been great I experienced my first Hmong food this week and man its good but I'm sure I ate chicken intestine and lets just say they use the whole chicken haha. The food is great and they feed you so so much. They tell you to keep eating and eating and eating its crazy but our family that we have been teaching just got interviewed for there baptisms so its very exciting there are 7 of them and this week we got two more people to commit to a baptismal date. Its cool! We have 9 people now preparing to be baptized the area is going great I'm picking up on Hmong easier. I can understand it more but its still way hard! Its awesome though, I'm trying my best and living everyday without regrets!! It was a little hard for me cause I'm quiet to talk to everyone we see but I'm getting over that fear now...I know crazy right mom!! ha ha
Anyways, my district is awesome the ward is so great it's only about 100 people though, way different from back home and the kid from Paragonah is in my district I see him allot... it's cool he says he knows Curtis and Lindas family! His name is Elder Abbott!
Me and my companion get along well together. We have some differences but we are doing great!!! The work is moving right along and we are excited!! Translating in church is so so hard! Man it's a stress but that's what you get if your a missionary I guess.
Oh dad look up on the computer. Our address is in St. Paul it's down town. The streets are Rice St and Marion street our apartments are called Commo Apt so yea!! The area is ghetto everyone yells at us. There are allot of black people here it's funny everyone was drunk on St. Patrick's Day ha... but so many people say " Hi Mormons" and stuff like that we have gotten "the bird" a couple times and everything like that! Man its funny, there is this 20 year old kid we are teaching he is such a great kid I really like him, he has such a big heart and willingness to change it's awesome I love it! It's crazy how the Lord prepares people to be baptized or hear the gospel. We got a call the other day from a random hmong lady and she wants us to come teach her I guess she first got contacted like 9 months ago and she is now just calling us so we are super excited about that Im loving it here and have been grateful for all your letters they really mean a lot to me! And don't worry aunt mandy i will learn how to cook hmong food!! but anyway its been great week for me how about for all of you??
I hope you are enjoying life and god bless you all!!
Here are some pictures of a instrument Hmong people make themselves out of bamboo its crazy and some Hmong food and st paul
