Well this was a good week.... we didn't have anything new really but there is some exciting news because today was transfers...this morning we were super excited to get the call!! President told me that I will be staying in Minneapolis and be training a new missionary and I'm so excited for this opportunity! I feel real growth will come from this time of my mission and it is going to be great as we learn together. I am also scared to train....it is allot of responsibility as it sets that missionary up for the rest of his mission, and perhaps the rest of his life. 
I am reminded of something that Joseph smith said. He said: " the Lord calls us in our weaknesses but he does qualify us for his work". I am going to be relying on my Heavenly Father every step of the way.
 
Well I'm sure you all heard the news about dad and his broken ankle. I think this will give him time to catch up on basketball and all that good stuff....even his History channel he likes to watch.
 
We were also excited to hear that President is opening up two new hmong areas in Wisconsin that will be half hmong work and half english work, so Elder Ly, my companion is going to Wisconsin and another Elder will be going there as well and all the new missionaries will be trained here in the Twin cities. 

We had a huge ice/ snow storm this week and we couldn't drive that day so we walked about 7 miles helping people.... I was so exhausted after that but it was a great opportunity to do service for others.

There isn't much this week to talk about but next week starts a whole new adventure and a whole new journey as a missionary. I just can't believe how fast time is going by and why is it going so fast?? I want time to slow down so I can stay here longer!!!!
 
The work is going well though and we are picking up new people and are really excited for them. We have many oportunities to find and get new people which is great. I'm excited too as we have a great week planned for the new missionaries and are getting so excited for them.

Well I love you all and hope you have a great week


Love,
Elder Crandall
