Feb.21,2012

Well today my companion left for Sacramento and Elder Nguyen's companion left for Anaheim (Elder Nguyen had a mission call to speak Hmong in Houston Texas but got a call last week that they were sending him to Cambodia instead!! so he is waiting for his passport and Visa) so we are the only ones left in our district and it's pretty lonely without the other two but, oh well. Today we just got up and helped them pack up there bags....and what they had left, and then sent them off!!
This last week was awesome me and Allred had TRC on Saturday. It's where they find people that speak hmong... they volunteer to do it... but anyways.. we always go at 1:30 and so this time we had nothing prepared to share and we usally have a while to prepare before we go but we got to class and they came over the intercom and was like "is Elder Crandall and Elder Allred there"? We said, "yes" they told us we had to be at TRC at 12:30. So we went down with our teacher and we had nothing prepared to share. Once we got down there they said that there were 5 native hmong people and one person who we regularly teach and we about pooped our pants when we heard that!! It was nuts, so we said a prayer before we went in and when we walked in they all stood up and shook our hand and believe it or not it was probably one of our best teachings so far!! they were just asking us all these question and we understood and we would answear them back our teacher was really impressed it really strenghtend my testimony on the gift of tongues, God will give us the words we need to speak at that very hour!! It was amazing.. they were the nicest people ever. I have grown so much charity for the hmong people! It says in 2 Nephi 33:7 how we need to have charity for our people and I have so much charity for the hmong people they are my people and I love them so so much!! It was a very spiritual experience and I have grown allot from that experience! I'm so excited to get out of the MTC and go to Minnesota. I hope all of you are doing well!! i hope you all have a great week!!

Mom I will be sending stuff home with Markel and all that jazz.
I think it would be better to put that money on my debit card for the airport so I don't have to worry about losing it! But I do need a little cash to buy some stuff
here that I will need for the field!!
You don't need to send me a phone card I can get one here for $3.50 and I get 500 min so it should be a better deal ha ha.

Anyways I love you all and am doing well and I love you all!!

Love always,
Elder Crandall
