THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT ARE SUPPORTING HIM THROUGH PRAYERS AND LETTERS! He may not be able to tell you all personally how he is doing and answer all of our questions but I hope you can see in his letters to the family how much your support is helping him and how grateful he is for all of you!
Shawn you were definitely inspired by a loving Father in Heaven that knew Kelby would need this kind of support and love in order to be the successful missionary he is becoming. We are truly blessed to have each other and it has not been more apparent to me at any other time in my life than it has been in the last few months how very blessed we are to have such love, care, support, and most importantly RESPECT for each other. There is nobody to give more credit too than our amazing parent. Mom and Dad...thank you for raising us in such away that we KNOW we have the love and support of you as parents and grandparents as well as raising us to love each other, care for each other, and respect each other!
The Hunt family mansions in heaven may not be the "party" place but it will certainly be the place to find love, support, respect AND homemade noodles and rocky road ice cream!! :)
Love you guys!

Well another week down and still moving forward with the work! This week has been good, I had to translate in Gospel Doctrine class on Sunday and man it was so so so hard!! I don't know Hmong as well as I thought. I think the Lord was just trying to humble me so I don't get to prideful. Man, they use all these words that I have no idea how to even say them!! ha ha.... it was horrible but a experience I will never forget!
Other than that the week has gone good. So on Tuesday Elder Lor had a leadership meeting at the mission home and so I went with a English Elder to West St. Paul. It was and interesting experience because we cover that area too for the Hmong people so we were doing like zebra work English and Hmong. It was pretty scared at first cause the Elder I was going with has been out 18 months and I'm only at 6 months and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to understand the people when they talk to me and I was all alone with my Hmong. So we started the day and this other Elder... i don't know what it was... but he just didn't really lead out that much and he made me make all the lesson plans for his investigators so I don't know..... it was weird when we taught his investigators I was the one leading the discussion so I don't know if he is just lazy or what.... but it made me grow allot on leading everything and making sure the lessons went well and with the Hmong it went pretty good there were some points when I was like, "I did not recognize one word you just said to me!".... so it was kinda funny, but overall I got through it and just found that I have the help of the savior on my side! I have gotten some great letters lately thank you all for the great letters you have giving me and for the great support you all are to me I hope you all are doing great!
This week has been kinda hard. We had a guy ready for baptism and had the interview set up for Thursday but the man wouldn't commit to paying his tithing and it just so sad. His wife and kids have been members for 20 years now and he just can't commit to paying tithing.... he comes to church every week and stuff but just has not been baptized yet we fasted for him and prayed but he is really stubborn but that's okay he will soften up in time!! Lately we are just trying to find people to teach to get our teaching pool up and to find people who have the desire to want Christ in there lives. Its been really good to see people change and its brought me much joy and also much grief when I see people so close but just can't quit make it.

But anyways.... on Thursday nights we teach hmong class for people who don't know how to read or write hmong. We go and teach them at the church its really fun! its cool teaching them. Most hmong people don't even know how to read or write there language so it's a struggle at some times but its been good to find ways to help them.. but that's about all from me. Thank you all for everything and the love and support.
Love Always!
Elder Crandall
