Here is the weekly letter from our missionary....I am so glad he can feel those prayers that we are so fervently giving in his behalf. Like he says....Bear with him the next few day.....pray for him! I know that he will need our prayers more than ever the next little bit as he transitions to this part of his mission. he will feel lost and the advesary will try to discourage him as he tries so hard to communicate with the Hmong people. I llook forward to hearing his voice in the morning and cheering him on like only a family can!
To Grandma and Grandpa Hunt and Crandall.....we have given him permission to call you when he gets to the airport. It will be early but so worth it...right? Crandall's he will call on your home phone and Mom and Dad he will can on your cell.
Hey family,
Well it was my last week in the MTC and today is my last day. Wow, what an amazing experience I have had here. Needless to say I have grown so much spiritually and physically I can't describe the feeling I'm feeling right now, probably all of the ones you have had when you went on your missions: nervous, scared, very excited, and many more. I think we are all just scared of the unknown but once we get there we and are comfortable we have the times of our life's... this past week I was reading in Alma 34 and Mosiah 3. What amazing chapters they are. I invite you guys to read them as families and discuss them in FHE. One thing that I have gained by reading these is more love for my savior and more ambition to be like him. In these short chapters it tell us the gospel of Jesus Christ in a summary; if we do the things that we are taught in these we shall receive eternal life!! One quote I love is from the prophet Joseph Smith he says:"salvation can not come without revelation-for it is vain to teach with out revelation" I took that to heart and really prayed for my own personal revelation and I have felt more peace and comfort than before! Personal revelation is something that we must take daily and be lead by the Holy Ghost! What more can we ask for from our Heavenly Father than to lead us to live a better life! I have been packing and doing everything else and I realized that in these last few months that I have grown more spiritually and physically than at any other point in my life. I know I will grow much more as these years pass by!!
I have made goals for my mission; what I want to accomplish and everything else. I know we cannot succeed without goals I love you all so much and I hope you all are doing great. I know that through our savior we can have joy in life and the only way is through his atonement!!
I will be writing a longer letter next week I know, but bear with me these next days and I know I can feel everyone of your prayers I have been comforted so many times and I would love to be with all you guys right now but I can't because the Lord needs me now.
Love all of you have a great week and keep moving forward.
Love always
Elder Crandall
