Hey everyone...
I appreciate all the letters this past week they all are so amazing I love hearing from all of you guys and to see what's going on around the good old family without me..
lets see this week has been pretty good me and my buddy from high school are really having fun we always talk about things back home and it makes me feel like im there i love having him here.. this week these two english elders left to south africa it sucked cause they where so so cool one was from palmyra, NY and the other from Dallas, Texas they where so so funny and cool. me and my district do syl day every monday its wear you can only speak you language that day no english. its hard cause two of them are speaking vietnamese and so we have to translate for one another, its still way fun to have though. our teachers are so cool that teach us hmong they really love the hmong people as well as i. none of them went to minnesota but they know allot of hmong people there.. its awesome, one of my teachers told me that there will just be me and one other kid there that isn't native hmong so it looks like my trainer will be a native hmong kid which i'm am so blessed and excited for... they will be able to teach me so much and so well and i will get the native accent easier ha ha... one native hmong sister that is here in the MTC said that I have already got a great hmong accent for how little i know the language.. she is speaking mandarin and is going to taiwan.. i asked her if its easier to learn mandarin or hmong and she said mandarin I told her I wanted to learn it when I get back from my mission and she said you could do it easy because there are allot of words and things related to chinese.. she is super nice she said when we get back from our missions she wants to take us to dinner and make us hmong food ah ha so she is really excited we are speaking hmong... I'm so excited to learn this language its so awesome i love it.. its super hard but i just got to stay positive in learning it... Elder Wadsworth one of the vietnamese elders.. his dad owns and started Tahitian Noni its cool so they always got to Tahitian and his mom is sending us all Lava Lavas it's super cool... if you could go to the flag store in Provo on university and get me the laotian flag its red and has elephants on it.... its way cool we want to hang one in our room because that is what the hmong people use.. any ways this week as I was reading in Mosiah chapter 2 I found some great insight in my reading which I felt that was revelation from my Heavenly Father, I found that in there it says how Christ loves us all so much he atoned for all of our sins.. and in the next chapter it says where the natural man is an enemy to God.. in chapter two it says that the only way to not be an enemy to God is through our saviors atonement. I felt so inspired how we are all enemies to God but that Christ loved us his "enemies" so much that he sacrificed for our sins. I don't think I could have done that.. I always strive to be more like my savior and turn outward and help anyone I can.. instead of turning inward like the natural man would do.. I love all of you so so dearly, I thank you all for your letters this week it really inspires me to keep going. I couldn't ask for a better family than you guys thanks..
Love Elder Crandall
