Hello Family!

Well this week has been pretty good. We were not in our area for two day again this week because on Wednesday we went to the new missionary training meeting in Bloomington. It's where we all go back and President gives a training to the new missionaries. It was really good, I remember when I went to mine... it was virtually the same but it was really good.... it lasted all day, it went from 8:45 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon! Man, meetings that long are killer!! I was so tired from that though.

 
Right after that we went on exchanges, I went with Elder Abbott and my companion went with Elder Abbott's companion. It was really good to have someone who could speak Hmong too instead of just me! ha ha but we just blitzed St. Paul so we weren't even in our area but it was good! We helped out the Frogtown Elders area allot so it was fun. 
This week we met some new people...we met this older lady who has a daughter who is 20 and she was like whooooa you guys speak Hmong really good and she told my companion that he should marry her! It was super funny to see my companions facial expression because I forgot to tell him that Hmong people do that allot because we can speak Hmong so well!! It was really funny because I just remembered my first experience like that!

 
We have allot of good experiences out here but on Sunday it was the Mission Presidents fireside. We took Yer's two twin nieces they're both 18  and are really awesome!  but right now as far as the work is going we are just finding new people we are trying to focusing on families. We have found a couple of families, we just need to go back and teach them.

 
This week was really weird, just because we weren't in our area for a 2 days but it was all good and I really like being with Elder Abbott! Me and him get along really well and it was really nice to work with him again. 
We were talking about how us Hmong missionaries are so lucky because there is no other mission that you stay around the same few Elders for as long as we do. We are like brothers and we know that we have all been called here for a reason and that our friendships will last after our mission as well! 

So its been a good week had allot of great times except for my camera broke so y'all wont be getting pictures for a little while.... while I get it all fixed... sorry about that but I hope you all have a great week this week.

Love,

Elder Crandall
