Namaste

I have less than 10 days left on my mission now.
And i am not looking forward for my plane ride back home.
Its gonna take me nearly 25 hrs to get back home.I still remembered when i came here for my mission and  after my long flight i felt like a zombie.
But anyway i am doing super well and today we went to a state fair and it was awesome.I will send you some pics week.
Oh i will tell you about my flight so i am flying from here to Chicago Wednesday sep 3rd evening and then from there i am catching a flight to Istanbul, Turkey and from there i will catch a flight to Kathmandu, Nepal.
I will reach home on 5th September at 6:45 in the morning.So my dear families and friends plz come and pick me up.
I am very excited to see my family after 2 yrs.Its gonna be the best.
I am so thankful to the Lord for the blessings he has given me on my mission.I am grateful for all the trial and tribulation that i went through.All those things were needed for me to be me what i am today.
I love you all and i will be in touch with you all after my mission.Have a great week.thanks you so much.

Much LOve

Two more weeks!!!!!!!
I am not really sure that i am saying that in excitement or in sadness.:(
But yep that's the truth.I am enjoying every bit of my time right now coz i don't have lot of time right now.
I think the only thing i am super happy about is, i don't have to spend my winter biking again.I biked both of my winter here in Minnesota and it was cold very cold. So good bye winter of Minnesota.
We had a super good week this week and yesterday was the best Sunday for me coz i got the special permission to go mission president fireside and meet with some Nepali people.They came and were super happy to see me.They wanted me to come to there house and meet with them before i go home.I wish i was able to do that.They are very dear to me and most wonderful people i have meet on my mission.I am going to miss them dearly.
I just also got a call from a member from  our ward.He is kinda less active but he loves meeting with us and he think i am the most crazy brown kid he have ever met.He calls and says" i made a painting for you".I bet he made some crazy painting for me.I'm super excited to see it.
And i thought oh how much i love all the people in my mission.They are so kind and loving.And i am so thankful for our heavenly father that he has given this time and opportunity for me to serve him.I am thankful that i could so many wonderful people in my mission.I love my mission and i'm blessed to be part of Lord's work.I am also thankful for y'all.Y'all had my mission the best experience in my life.I have so much love and respect for all of you.Thank you so much.

Dear family and Friends

How grateful i am for all of you.I am so astonished by your emails and your love.Thank you so much for all you do.
I think i have 3 more weeks to go.My heart is pounding fast as the days are going so fast.I am also excited to meet with my family.
I am still staying strong on my mission and doing the Lord's work.Its been a greatest joy of my life to serve my mission.I will recommend to go on mission to all the youth.
Lately i have pondered a lot about what could i have done better? Did i serve the lord with my full heart? and as i think of all these things i thought about a missionary i was with for an exchange right before he was going home.I asked him whats been the best thing about your mission and he said " the best thing is to know that God is happy with you". and that's stood out to me.
I hope and pray that God is happy with me and for all the things i have done to bring his children to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.I have my ups and down in my mission but i am grateful for those ups and down. I am grateful that God gave me trials and helped me grow and learn many things.I see Lord's hand on every part of our life and he loves all.
I love you all and thankful for your support and love.You guys are the best part of my mission.All of you have helped me a lot.Thanks. I am eternally grateful to you.God Bless you.

Much love

Hello and Namaste

How are you??God bless y'all.
My love for my mission has grown so much in these last days of my mission.I am thankful for every moment that i can be a missionary.
Yesterday was my last fast and testimony meeting and i bore my testimony.The reason i wanted to bear my testimony so bad was a boy name Paul who is 12 yrs old bore his testimony and said "I was thinking how can i be a good missionary without being called as an missionary or have a calling related to missionary work.I came to a conclusion that i don't need to be called as a missionary to be a good missionary ,i can always be a good missionary by being the example that Heavenly father wants me to be." And i was so touched by the things he said.I felt that was the thing that i needed to hear at that time.So as i bore my testimony i said "Paul i wanted to let you know that you are right." I also said " it is very true that we don't need a missionary Tag or have calling as ward missionaries to share the gospel.We can be the example to everybody and share the gospel by our example. I told him he is going to a Great Missionary.
I am always amazed by the faith of the saints here in Minnesota.They have helped me a lot to grow in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I am thankful for the gospel.I am thankful for our savior love for all of us.He love us  and he is there for us. I know that for sure.
Thank you for your love and kindness.You guys have really shown me the example of what does gospel can do for all of us.You guys live the Gospel.
Thank you for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
