Hello and Namaste to everybody

How is everybody? I hope everybody is doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!
We are also doing great. We are having some good days here and biking is so fun.I think everybody should bike. Everybody bikes here in summer coz its so great here to bike. I had to fix my bikes couple time this week. My brakes didnt work so i had take it in and fix it and i thought good enough then next day my bike got puncture by this big nail on the street. So i fixed it by myself and its good to go now.I am thankful for my good old bike which takes me all around this place.
We had a great week this week coz we had our Stake conference and seventies came to re organize the stake. So that was a neat experience for me. We were also invited in leadership meeting and that was pretty intense. 
So this week we had blast with our president. President came out with us to teach.So president Clements calls and asks us hey elders can i come teach with u? We were kinda out of our breath when he said that  but we gather our breath together and said sure. And he came to teach with us and we went to teach our investigators. And we had a great great lesson. Man he was super bold and we did learn a lot from him. One of our lesson we did some acting with kids of our investigator and it was awesome. Kids are crazy.So president came to our apartment and looked at it and said i wanna see inside of your apartment so we said ok and he came and looked and said elders looks like you are not living in safe place and he was so scared to be in our area that he asked us if we can come down and drop him of to his car.He was scared out of his mind.It was super funny.And sounds like we are getting moved coz we live in a Ghetto. I also decided this week that i will not have any pets. Being in Minnesota and seeing everybody and dog or cat and some had snakes, rabbit, rat , mouse,lizard , and many weird looking animals which i know not why people have it. It just made me go crazy. So i said to myself "NO Animals".
Yesterday was May day and we saw this huge parade right in front of our apartment.It was crazy .It looked like they just do what ever they want. I will send u some pictures to y'all.
well that was kinda my week.Thank u for all u do.Happy Mothers Day to everybody.I love u all.

Hello and Namaste to everyone

hope y'all have a great great week. we had a awesome Easter Sunday here.And best part of it was the weather which was 70 degrees. I havent felt such cool and warm weather for long long time.
We have awesome church meeting and we were able to bring 7 people to church Sunday that was awesome.It is just an awesome feeling wen you can bring people to church.Church is the best place to feel the spirit.
We are teaching a native american sister right now and she is gonna get baptize on 31st of  may. We are super duper excited about it.
We are so blessed to find so many people that have been prepared by our heavenly father. There is always somebody waiting for us and wanting to listen to us as we search diligently. We are always grateful for that.
i wanted to share this wonderful scripture with all of you. Its from Alma 36 :17-21.
17 And it came to pass that as I was thus aracked with torment, while I was bharrowed up by the cmemory of my many sins, behold, I dremembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.
 18 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, ahave mercy on me, who ambin the cgall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting dchains of edeath.
 19 And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember myapains bno more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.
 20 And oh, what ajoy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!
 21 Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy.
And that is our great message of joy that all can have as they repent. I love love sharing this msg. Hope y'all also have opputunity share this wonderful msg. I love you all for your kindness and love . thank u so much.

Hello and Namaste to y'all

How are you? I hope everything is going good.
We had a great week. We are still filled with the spirit of General conference and the message is still ringing like a bell in our ears. We had a wonderful opportunity to bring our investigator to church yesterday. We had a mother with her six kids there and Native sister come to church. They were able to meet our bishop and lots of other members and had warm welcome.
i just got call from the 2nd counselor and he wanted to invite the kids for scout activity and asked us the mothers number. he said he will talk to her and get them there. Oh how joy it is to see a member being so proactive in missionary work. If everybody is like that , miracles will happen everywhere.

My mission is going like crazy. Many expected and many unexpected things have happened by now. Many miracles and many blessings we have seen.Many persecution and trials we went through.
But only things we remember is light we see in our investigators eyes and how gospel blessed there life. I have learn to love everybody in my mission. And without love there is no missionary work. Remember to give your to everybody.
I love you and thankful for your love and kindness.

Hello and Namaste

How is everybody doing? I hope y'all are spiritually pumped up by the General Conference. It was a great conference like always. 
We had a great and marvelous week of General Conference and it is our great privilege to hear from our dear prophet and apostles of our savior Jesus Christ. We had been spiritually uplifted, encouraged and given the proper guidance at conference and now its time for us to act upon those counsel that we received. Without the action all the counsel will be of no use.
Some guys yesterday came to us and told us that our church is false and we are following the false teaching. We didn't say much and we bore our testimony and he prayed for us that our eyes might be open. I was just amazed how people can hate us and persecute us for being Mormons. I concluded that they have harden their hearts . They are reading to much garbage in internet.
But i knw as we build our faith on our savior nothing go wrong.Like in Helaman 5:12 says " And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
And i knw this is true . Jesus Christ is our savior and redeemer and he loves us all. May we all have wonderful time and opportunity to share the message of conference to people we meet. I love u all and thankful for your loving kindness.
P.s: all the pics here is taken by my companion .

Hey Dear Brother , Sisters , Friends , and families and all the Awesome good looking people!!!!!!!!!!!!! NAmaste

How are u all? I hope its a bright and sunny!!!!!!!!!
So our days and week are going quick but its going good too.
WE had a awesome fast and Testimony day and I had a great opportunity to bear my testimony with one of the less active youth at the ward yesterday. It was the spirit who told me to go and talk to this kid. After couple of NO's he finally agreed to go with me and bore his testimony, so that a great miracle for me and to witness how Lord work with us. After that some members came and asked me how did that happened ? What did u tell him that he came and bore his testimony? He is a very very shy kid.
My answer to that question was "It was the spirit of the Lord who is working through me and he felt the Spirit. I did not do anything.
Heavenly father has prepared all these opportunities for all of us. As we follow the promptings of the spirit we will be guided towards the people who needs us.
We all can have these great experiences in our life.
I am blessed to have this time to serve Our Lord and savior.
The Area Seventy came to our ward and i was happy to see him coz i served in his ward (Eden Prairie) before and he remembered me very well.
He was in our ward council meeting and he had great answer to all the question and his answer were " We are all children of our heavenly father and we follow the example of Jesus" . So think what Jesus Christ would do?
Thats what he said.
I am thankfull for y'all. You guys are the awesome people in this whole world. I love u all. Thanks.

Hello and Namaste to everyone

How is everybody doing??? I hope y'all are doing great and AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
So this week i had a new companion Elder Hurst and he is from California. He is awesome. 


We both are having good time. Its kinda snowing outside today but its not cold as yesterday so thats good side. The temperature is going up and down here so you never know whats gonna happen next. Minnesotans says " It will get summer here sometime".
 So our days and night are going super fast or i feel its going fast  for me.
We are having so many great miracles in our missionary work.
We met somebody from sri lanka in our apartment building and taught him and that was awesome .
We are looking forward to have many more miracles around us. 
I hope and pray that y'all have a great missionary experience around you.
I was reading Ether today morning and i read the experience that brother of Jared had when he saw the Lord and explains us how he saw the Lord on Ether 3:19 "And because of the knowledge of this man he could not be kept from beholding within the veil; and he saw the finger of Jesus, which, when he saw, he fell with fear; for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord; and he had faith no longer, for he knew, nothing doubting".

How great was the faith of brother of Jared !!!! 
I thought that was a marvellous example of faith to all of us. I knw brother of Jared never doubted and thats why he was able to see the everything.
That is the promise Heavenly father has given to all of us.
I love u all and you all are Great example of faith to me. Thank you so much for all you do.
