Hello and Namaste to everybody
I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas. We had a great Christmas here in Minnesota.
We ate good food played board games and we went sledding and we went caroling at night . That day was the best!!!!!!!!!!
I hope and wish that y'all have a  happy new year. Its a great time of a year for everybody , a new beginning.
We are having super cold days right now here in here i think its -6 right now. very very cold.I am loving my work here and love all the things that happens everyday in our life. Sometime we hav some rough days some sad days but at the end it all goes very well. We all need to believe that we will hav good days and we will have one for sure. God just does not wants us to sit down and have a good day but he wants us to go out and do stuff and then he can show us how beautiful is world and how good things are there for us.I hope and pray that this new year will bring lots of hope and light in everybody's life.
One of the great thing happens to me these past days were.I was able to meet the Grandson of the couple missionary who helped my DAD get baptized when he was in Hong kong. We were so close to each other but we never knew who we were. But this great and exciting union of us has brought GREAT joy to me and my family . There are lots of other people who are filled with joy as they heard about this message. Even thou we are far from each other ,we are all here so close so together because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love u all and so so thankful for all y'all have done. My heart is filled with gratitude towards all of u and GOD. God bless u all.I love u.

Hello and Merry Christmas
How are u all??I hope everybody is fine as this beautiful weather here in Minnesota. I just fell in love with snow here in Minnesota. I think i wanna move to Minnesota and stay here. As i loved the snow, i also learned to love the cold weather here.
So how is everybody Christmas plan coming up?? I heard many plan with your family and i loved loved loved getting Christmas cards from you. We have a small Christmas tree in our apartment and i put all the gifts and cards i got around that tree. It looks amazing!!!!!!!!!
I hope and pray that this wonderful Christmas season will bring lots of happiness and joy in your life. May we all remember our Savior and his birth and look for opportunity to serve and love other like our Savior did. 
My companion is getting transfer to a different area and i am getting a new companion on Wednesday , who is coming directly from thunder bay , Canada. I am looking forward to have a great time with my new companion too. Change is good thing in life but also sometime it can be hard. Its hard for me to say Goodbye to my old companion. I read scripture today about change and i would like to share some with you 

Alma 5:12 "And according to his faith there was a mighty change wrought in his heart. Behold I say unto you that this is all true."
Mosiah 5:2 " And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually."
And i knw that Gospel of Jesus Christ can bring that mighty change in our
Heart. I love u all and soo soo soo thankful and grateful for everything that u have done for me.

Hello and Namaste to everybody 
  
How are you?? I hope everybody and everything is fine as the bright sunshine.
Actually it is bright sunshine right now . When the sun hits the white snow it sparkles likediamond and your eyes gets dizzy. Right now it looks a snow desert in  Minnesota.Even though there is bright sun outside it is awesomely freezing cold . This week the weather have in single digits number. If u stay outside for a while u face will be numb with coldness and u can feel no cold after time. I put my sweater , my jacket and ear muff . my jackets , my boots , my scarf and my Binnie on my body and the coldness still pierce through those things. But even in this cold i concluded that i like winter more than summer. Winter is the best season ever. I things 
one of the reason that i learn to love this winter season is the hard times i had in winter . It taught me many valuable lesson in my life and beyond.
We are having great time . My companion injured his leg and he is in his crutches right now. It was thanksgiving football that got him injured. But he still have zeal to work even in crutches. 
My work is going as wonderful as the snow looks in bright sun. We are teaching some awesome people in the world right now.
We are also teaching couple of African people and i so amazed by there belief and faith in God. I have not seen any among the people like them who are so devoted to God and have willingness and desire to do the Gods will. You can always feel the spirit when u teach them.
I love being missionary and with all your love and support i can do anything  in the world. I love u very much. Merry Christmas. Ho Ho Ho

Hello and Namaste
How is everybody? I hope all is well. And ya Happy December.
The Christmas season is here and its so awesome . You can see lights all around the places its glowing every where. In our apartment we had a small Christmas tree with lights on it and i really love it.Some small thing like that bring so much of great joy in our life.I thought about theGratitude a lot this last month with the season of thanksgiving and my soul is humbled a lot. My thanks and appreciation for all of u are beyond the measure. I wish i could give u all a BIG HUGright now.Your simple mail bring joy to my heart and i am most grateful for that. My love for all of you is as the top of Mount Everest. I am thankful for the cold here in Minnesota which i come to love so much . I have  been astonished by so many great but yet simple things Lord has blessed us with. 
I love the scripture in Moroni 10:20 "Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity."
And i knw that to be true without faith, hope and charity there is nothing.Recently we hav been blessed with great investigators who have willingness and desire to learn the gospel. And of them is a Nepali sister. She has been coming to church and loves it. Her English is great and we helped her make friends with member.
It is going out great with her and she has great potentials of being 1st Nepali sister to be baptized here in Minnesota.
I don't know how much i am converted,but every time i feel like i am falling away i remember the words of President Uchtdorf
"If you define hypocrite as someone who fails to live up perfectly to what he or she believes, then we are all hypocrites. None of us is quite as Christlike as we know we should be. But we earnestly desire to overcome our faults and the tendency to sin. With our heart and soul we yearn to become better with the help of the Atonement of Jesus Christ."
I find joy and relief in the words of our PROPHETS and the receive my answers and strength through them and scriptures which i hold dearly to me. And in this mission i found out the meaning of this life , i found myself and what it means to be a child of GOD.I love u all and thankfull for each and everyone of you.
