Ok!!! SO a lot has happened
this past week! On Wednesday I said goodbye to my district that I have come to
know and love so very much, which was super hard. I also had to say goodbye to
the last piece of home that I was privileged enough to bring with me. That's
right. I had to say goodbye to Keith (Elder Thompson). After I said goodbye the
real fun began though! My companion and I left for the airport at 6 and our
flight left at 10:40. Got there at about noon. Btw theres a drought and forest
fires here...so the air freaking sucks!!!! But anyways we got there and were
met by Pres. Clark and his wife. Really sweet people, I love them already. They
took us to a stake center in Fresno where we were welcomed by a huge group of
missionaries! We did this thing called open your mouth and basically they set
missionaries up with other missionary and you go out tracting! just a as like a
welcome to the mission field experience! it was lots of fun. That night we
(there was 18 of us total) stayed at the assistants house and woke up he next
morning and I made pancakes for everyone!!! So Thursday after we got ready we
went back to the stake center to get paired up with our trainers!!!!!!!! I got
Elder Pace (this super awesome fun elder who loves to sing as much as I do so we
jam in the car to David Archeleta and Vocal Point!!). But the really awesome
news is that Elder Pace is a Hmong missionary. And President Clark told me
right when I got my companion that I have the opportunity to go
bilingual!!!!!!! SO I have 12 weeks to learn as much Hmong as I can and if I
know it well enough then I will be switched over to a Hmong misssionary!!!!
Annnnnnnd! if that wasn't enough already!, I've been here 5 days and already
witnessed my first baptism!! The goal for the mission this year is to reach
1000 and we're at 600 something! So if you could Pray for us it would be much
appreciated!!! Anyways, I gotta go. Write back in a week!! Kuv Hlub Nej Sawv
Daws!!!!!!! (thats Hmong. you can go translate it your self if you want! Bye!
