13 month mark!

Nyob zoo os!

I hit my 13 month mark yesterday and man it seems like time is flying. It's crazy to be out over a year now. I still feel like I just came out so its pretty legit. 

So we found out about transfers today and I am staying in St Paul with Elder Lis Xeeb (Lucero)! Elder Xob Laim (Sele) and Elder Yaj (Yang) are staying in Minneapolis and we are opening up a Hmong area since we have another missionary coming out. His name is Elder Hwj Chim (Hutchins) and he came out and went home for a little bit, but he comes back on Wednesday and he is going to be with Elder Hua Vam (Hutchinson). So Elder Lis Xeeb and I will be covering Frogtown Hmong and Elders Hwj Chim and Hua Vam will cover Eastside Hmong. We have a bunch of Elders coming out in the middle of this transfer too so we will open another area in Minneapolis and another area somewhere else. 

So that lady, Catherine, we gave a blessing to a a week or two ago texted us and told us that her Chemo has stopped the growth of her cancer and that she is a candidate for a new procedure that has a 40% chance of curing her and like 90% chance she will live longer than 5 years. That was super cool to see the priesthood work through us. 

So every day this week we have been going on walks with Tsim Meej and he has already gotten a lot stronger and is not getting as sore. Every time we teach a lesson and then read the Book of Mormon with him. We asked him to watch the hour long video of the Prophet of the Restoration video and he said he cried during it and that he knows Joseph Smith is  Prophet! He is so solid. He pretty much told us he is getting baptized someday. The reason he can't now is because of his family. 

We had interviews with President on Thursday and he pretty much said I was staying so I already knew. So that was good. He is such a good guy and I really like him. 

One of the Young Women recent convert, Pa Ying, ran away from home one night and we got a called from the mom and she asked us to help look for her so we called our mission President and he told us that he didn't have a good feeling. So we called the mom that we couldn't go, but that we would pray for her and so all four us of in the apartment knelt down and said a prayer and a few minutes later we got a call that she had come back! It was really crazy because we had just seen her earlier that day. Super cool miracle. Then the next day we got to church and then got a call from them and their car wouldn't start so we went and helped them jump start it. We were a little late to our meetings, but that's alright. Then after church we had a potluck with a bunch of Hmong food. I am starting to like it more, but there are a few things I can't eat. Then after that their car wouldnt start again so we jumped it again. This little girl was sitting in the front seat pretending to drive, it was so cute. She always plays peek a boo with me haha. 

This week Elder Moore and Elder Condie got in an argument which led to Elder Moore calling President and he put Elder Moore with a Zone Leader, Elder Cardwell, and the other Zone Leader, Elder Dyerly came and stayed with Elder Condie for a few days. Elder Moore got transferred out and Elder Condie is staying. Elder Condie might be moving out of the apartment though so that the other Hmong Elders can stay with us, but we don't know yet. I really like Elder Condie though and I am glad I got to be around him this transfer. Speaking of friends, Elder Huntley is staying in Duluth another transfer! He has been there for 6 months already! He stayed 5 transfers in Red Wing and now 5 transfers in Duluth. 

Well that's about all I got! Kuv yuav tham rau koj lub as thiv tom ntej no! Kuv nco nej ntau!
