Wow, this week has been great and was a great success! We had 3 baptisms today in the branch from the other Elders. It was a great baptismal service and it's always nice to see President Clements at the baptismal service. The young man that was baptized, me and Elder Mearns found back in May so it was cool to see him get baptized! He is a good kid and really wants to be a missionary. It was pretty funny, he went up to President and was like Elder Crandall is the person I need to talk to so that I can be an Elder....I was like uh... no! ha ha but it was funny! He really likes the church and read the whole Book of Mormon in 6 days. It was insane. He calls President Clements "Boss" its so funny. The highlight of the week pretty much was the baptismal service!
This week I went on exchanges with Elder Ly in Minneapolis. It was a really great experience Elder Ly is a really funny guy he looks like he is 15 but he has a big heart and strong will! We get along really well together and we had a great time together! We got lost in Minneapolis for about 30 min but it was cool seeing allot of Minneapolis but I did have to show off my mad navigation skills with the map! So yea just letting you all know! ha ha
We found some cool people for them so it was a great experience. I love working with other missionaries!
This week though went by really fast... probably cause I went on exchanges! This week should be really good too. Today Elder Belliston is coming to my area for an exchange. I'm pretty excited, he is a great missionary from Salem, Utah and we know allot of the same people from back home. He is a really good basketball player too! Also this Friday and Saturday is a big sports tournament called J4. it is only Hmong people and they come from California and Oklahoma, really all over. It's really a big tournament so we get to go and contact all day there and probably watch some games! It should be a great experience and allot of talking Hmong!
My Hmong is coming along pretty good I'm not feeling total confidence in all my conversations because there is just so much vocabulary that I don't know but its getting better each day! Hopefully we find some people that have a desire to learn more about the gospel!
Alright funny story for the week.... me and Elder Lor were driving to our next appointment and I see this little black kid about 4 years old and his pants were down. I was like what the heck??? He was in the middle of the sidewalk too so I was really confused and we got closer and he pulled his under wear down too and then started to squat down and take a poop!!! ha ha!!! Man we just stopped the car right next to him and were laughing so hard! He was just staring at us like "What? I'm going the bathroom"! it was so funny, I was dying! My abs got a good work out!!
Anyways.... thanks for everything from everyone I love you all and keep me updated on everyone's July 4th experiences!
Love you all,
Elder Crandall
