January 10 2012

Hey everybody:)
This week has been so so fast I can't believe I am already half way done in the MTC, its nuts how fast time is going by. This week me and my companion had our first TRC it stands for Training recreation center. It's where people in the area come that know hmong and we teach them. It was so so scary my heart was racing and I couldn't remember a thing but before we went in I said a pray with my companion to help let us remember what we know and to act calm in the presence of these people. Our first investigtors where some guys that go to BYU and serverd missions in Sacramento, we taught them how they can recieve revelation through the Book of Mormon even though they are active members we still try to teach them something that they can take home and work towards, it went alright I forgot some stuff in that meeting so it wasn't the best but for our first one it wasn't to bad... our second appointment was we were teaching a native hmong lady that is now at BYU she also is from Sacremento, and there also was a guy and his wife in there as well so it was different to try and relate to both of them in the same lesson but it went by alot smoother and calmer, we weren't as scared ha ha... anyway that was a crazy experience. Umm I actually had a dream in hmong, it was crazy I have only had one so far but I couldn'y understand what they were saying, it was just all in hmong haha I woke up with a ton of hmong words in my head..
It sounds like Markel and Syd had a wonderful time in New York, I got all their pictures and lovely stuff from Syd thanks so much for everything you sent me! looks like it was a party there, umm lets see here..... today I got a hair cut so now my hair is way short and it's retarted haha but oh well I guess what can you do?
so you want to know what I have been teaching, well right now mostly about the Book of Mormon and how it is the first thing that the investigator gains a testimony of.. and also a little bit about the plan of salvation (txoj kev zoo siab) umm its going well we can have a pretty good conversation about gospel things but other stuff, hardly anything ha ha... its hard to understand what they are saying cause they speak so fast and the tones and stufff are just hard to catch but over time I will be a pro at it. :)
today left another English district in our zone they lived right by us they were gonig to Oregon, Florida, and Jackson Mississippi, we were really close to them so it was a little sad saying goodbye but I have a tone of pictures of them.. i'll send them once mom sends me another SD card for my camera so I can just send the one I have now home.:)
Oh by the way mom I am going to Mr. Macs next Tues.. okay so don't worrry to much it will be okay ha ha... it took forever for them to set an appointment up to go there so yea it's taking forever...
Nothing else really happend this week just the same stuff..... study and study the language oh and study more ha ha and classes and devotionals but nothing major.
except for on Thursday night a kid on our floor had surgury and his stiches opened up and he was like bleeding really bad and the ambulance had to come so that was a crazy and eventful night.
Im so grateful for every ones support and love you show me. I love all your letters sorry it takes so long to write back just hardly anytime.. I got a great letter today from Garrett and Allyson Dunn what cute kids they are haha love them.. keep sending your letters I love hearing about how everyone is doing.

Love you all
Elder Crandall
