Hello Family!

Well hello family!

This week has been great... it has been one with allot of drama and very hectic but it has been such a good week back in frogtown and getting back in shape and seeing all the old people I use to visit! Its so fun being back with Elder Lor its like two best friends getting back together!! :)

This week all started off like this... on Monday of last week our transfer calls which you all know about!! Then we went to the church to play basketball. We were playing and we were playing pretty hard and about 3 games in Elder Angeles started to breath really heavy and couldn't move and we didn't know what to do he would speak and it was like he was a vegetable pretty much... that's what it reminded me of. I was like "okay we got to get him to the hospital" so we rushed him to the hospital and I was driving Elder Lor and Elder Moss gave him a blessing on the car ride there. It was really scary and I didn't know what was wrong with him. We got him to the hospital and I went in the doctors room with him and they put him on oxygen and stuff.. but we had an appointment that day at 6 with a really cool new investigator we picked up and so me and Elder Meyers went and I had no clothes or anything so I used Elder Abbotts church clothes and Elder Lors hmong name tag... it was a crazy day! We just stayed there that night in Minneapolis and the hospital was in St Paul.. President and Sister Clements came down to see Elder Angeles as he had to stay in the hospital for the night by himself. The next day we found out he was going home so we had to pack his bags for him. It was a crazy day!! I was super sad to see him go home!

It snowed really hard my second day in frogtown. It was crazy riding our bike through about 3 inch of snow! It was definitely an adventurer though!! We kept falling and slipping but it was fun. We were soaking wet by the time we got home that night because we had been out in it all day!! Some good experiences though and it has been a blast working with Elder Lor again. It is his last transfer if i didn't tell you last time. So I will be "killing him off" as a missionary! 

So what I'm thinking is going to happen is that I came here for this transfer so I could get use to the area again and then train one of the new missionaries here. So pretty much back to back training is what will happen if I'm correct but I don't know.... its still up in the air!!

 

This week I have been studying about Light and stuff like that!! I remember reading in D&C section 88 I think (not 100% sure) but it talks about how Christ is the Light of the world,sun,stars,moon and all of that! It just was a fascinating thought!! A revelation I have had this week about light is that , WHATS THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU WALK IN A DARK ROOM?" Look for the light switch? I kept thinking and pondering about how that is natural for all of us human beings so I began to think we are all attracted to light and when we receive more light from Christ we want more, we can feel a familiar feeling and its because light comes from God. It is what we all seek in life we don't like darkness!

Our light increases and decreases every second of our life, its our duty to make it be increasing every day!    

Well that's about it from here! Hopefully we get some warm weather....I'm sick of snow ha ha but its all good!! 

 love you all!
