Wow today is crazy! Today was transfer calls and we were all expecting some changes but we didn't really know what to expect!! But I will be leaving Minneapolis after 9 months. I will be taking my talents back to my home which is frogtown where i was trained and started my mission. I will be back on a bike! Yes!!! I can tone up and maybe get ride of some of my fat haha!!! My companion will be Elder Lor!! It is his last transfer and I have already been companions with Elder Lor at the start of my mission as wel.....lt was for 1 transfer and a half so I'm super excited to work with him again!!!! awwww I'm so excited!! I have loved Minneapolis.... its feels like home to me! I have grown so close to the members here and I don't want to leave them but I will still see them every Sunday!!
Well that was the big news around here. We will be getting two new elders in May so it will be interesting to see what happens then and I might be training again who knows? but yeah its been a really good day so far.
I read Hunter and Markel's letters....sounds like they are doing really well. I'm excited to keep hearing from them!! I just can't believe hunter is in Africa right now....it still blows my mind and I can't believe Markel is learning Spanish.... its so cool!!! So I noticed something this week. When we all get back from our missions, our family will have allot of culture in it! Hunter with his African culture and then Markel and the Spanish culture and me and the Asian culture!! It will be so interesting when we all return!
This week we had 2-3 inches of snow and it's still here and we are expecting more this week ahhh!!!!! I just want it to be Spring and warm maybe for a change. I thought I would get away with only one real Minnesota winter and it turns out that the winter has been allot longer than I expected! I just hope the summer isn't really hot and humid! I am sure it will be... but hopefully not to bad!
I'm doing really good and we are picking up new investigators. We met a really cool guy this week he is 24 and he lives with his brothers and sisters and there going through a rough time. He is one of the oldest and their dad just recently passed away so they are having to try and keep the family going. They don't have a mom so it's all up to them! He was really receptive to our teachings so we are excited to see where he goes. Well I won't be in Minneapolis anymore but it's going to be interesting to see what happens with him!
One thing I have been thinking about lately is about hope and what is living hope that Elder Uchtdorf talked about in conference and I was studying that allot this week and the help from the apostle Paul. I have had a wonderful time learning more about hope and I came to my own conclusion that living hope is an action. It is constantly seeking for the Light of Christ to walk in the light and not turn ourselves from his light! His light is what pierces all darkness in our lives and is what gives us faith to press forward each day and walk towards our Savior. His love and light that he gives freely to us each day!
Well I hope you are all doing well! Here is a picture at a park in Minneapolis that has allot of art work and we went contacting there this week and took a picture! love you all
