Dear family and friends

Hello and Namaste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everybody is doing awesome and fantastic.

Well i am having a great time in my new area too.

So little bit about my new area. Its is absolutely different than my last area. Last time i was in heart of Minneapolis and there was so many things going on always and crazy things happening all around and it was ghetto.But i loved that place. Now i got transfer to this place called Maple Grove and it is straight suburb. This place is rich and big.There is big houses every where and no apartments.I kinda felt out of place for couple of days.But ya now i am adjusting and we have a car in this area so no more biking:(.I loved biking in my last area so hopefully we will be able to bike someday.

I am in process of learning the area , names and ward right now. Every time i go to mew area i feel like the name gets harder and harder.Learning how to say the names is a tough thing.Sp people here thought my name is too hard to say so they compared my name with a soda drink called Shasta. So they call me Shasta here.

I hope y'all have a nice and awesome day.Missionary work is the best work to do.I love u and thank u so much.

Hiiii and Namaste

So today is our transfer day and guess what....i got transferred.

So i am getting transferred to place called Maple Grove.Looks like its very very suburb. Hmmm its gonna be very  interesting for me to go from twin cities to suburb.So ya i had great time in this area and was able to learn so many things here.I will always cherish the things i have learned in my mission.

With this transfer getting over i only have 2 more transfer left in my mission.

Its going fast.Faster then i thought right now.

So today morning we were playing basketball and one of the elder who played football in high school nailed me to the ground.My left hand is hurt at wrist and i am typing with my right hand only right now.I don't think i broke it but it hurts pretty bad ,so its all wrapped in bandage.So i hope everything goes well.

Missionary work is going awesome  ,we are preparing a family to get baptize this month and couple of other people.I am sad that i will not be here for that.But i know Lord has better place for me to be at this time.I will send some pictures with my companion.I love u all and thanks for everything.

Hello and Namaste to everybody

How is everybody?I hope and pray that everything is well with u guys!!

We are also having a great time here.It is always an excitement when u are a missionary.We have blessed with baptism of the sister we taught this week.

We were also filled with great joy this week by our baptism of sister Good Buffalo.Our baptism went great!!!!!!!!! We felt the spirit.She will be awesome member missionary.She is already inviting her family members to come to church.She will be great blessing to this ward and great example for all the Native members.

I will send you some pictures from baptism. I got a summer haircut this time so i may look very different in my pics.

It is our great privilege to work at this area right now.Heavenly father has always people prepared for us on all the things we do.I was reading Preach my gospel this week at Christ like attributes, i really felt the spirit and i pondered about what does it mean to have "pure love of Christ"?It does have a greater meaning in it.I felt like i can love anybody but to have pure love of Christ is different than just loving them.And that will be my goal for rest of my life to be able to have pure love of Christ for everyone.

I hope and pray that y'all will have increased charity for everybody and that u will be able to bless many peoples life.

I love u all and for everything you do.Thank u for your love.

Hello and Namaste 

How is everybody?I hope all is well.

the summer is here and its gonna be hot.77 degrees today.

My days are going great . I love love biking here. There is bike way called green way and it is the best place to bike. No traffic!!!!

Our week was gone quickly preparing one of our investigator for baptism this coming Saturday.So this sister is super awesome and she native american.She has amazingly progressed in the gospel.She is really prepared by our Lord.I will send u some baptism pictures next week.

My companion was really frustrated this week. His biking is giving him problems.This last week his bike punctured twice and.His brand new tube brusted.SO we fixed it for right now hoping it will be ok.

We are also teaching a great family right now.We are planning to baptize them on June 28th and we are really pumped up about it.

I did a district meeting last week on " Why i came on my mission"?

And i read these example of Alma 36:24 "Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost."

This why of Alma is great example to me. I see that and try to apply that everyday in my mission.

I love my mission and love serving. Its really been a great blessing in my life.I am thankful for all of your kindness and love for helping me be here on my mission. I love u all.

Hello and Namaste to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is everyone????I hope everybody is happy,great and shinny.

Well Right now i am soaked coz we biked in rain and i dont have any rain coat.But ya we made it church building coz thats where we email from our family history center and its about 3 miles. So biking is not so fun and my bikes dont have fenders so the dirt water is all over me.

But except for that all is well.We are teaching great investigators , we are gonna have baptism at the end of MAy.So we are really really excited about it.

We are having awesome time for sure.This week again one other person stop us and said " we are going to hell".But anyway let me tell y'all a miracle happen this week to us.

So we got this referral from other missionaries to go to the children hospital and give a blessing to a kid.So we got there but we didnt have all the information for this kid so we were not able to meet them .We were sad about that and sat down on lobby to figure out what to do next and as we were sitting we heard "Elders". We saw this sister in front of us and we thought may be thats the mother of that kid.So we started talking with her and found out she is not the person we thought but she is a member from a different ward.She told us that she just had baby 2 months ago and the baby is in ICU.And she said she always wanted a blessing for her baby but missionaries from her ward was not able to come so she asked us if we can bless the baby we said absolutely yes.We went with her and saw this tiny baby and gave the baby blessing and when the blessing was given the mother was on tears and she was relived. 

She knew that her daughter was gonna be fine when we gave the blessing.

Its the great hope that we get from our savior Jesus Christ.Like in Moroni 7:41 it says "And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise. and that is the great promise and blessing we all have . This message changes people to do the will of God and i knw these things are true. I bear my testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the blessings it brings in everybody's life.I love u all and grateful for your love and kindness.

Hello and Namaste to everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAppy Mothers day to everybody.

So How was everybody's Mothers day. I hope y'all had a great time with your mother. Mother are really a great gift to all of us.Like a deacon said yesterday in our sacrament meeting they have unconditional love for there children.

We had a great and awesome week.We bike everyday and we are getting better at biking. We love to bike , it is so fun.Its fun but by the end of the day i am like dead tired.Someday i feel like i slept tired and i am waking up tired.But when we go through our day and we dont even remember that we were tired as we do the Lords work. We know that he is watching us and giving us strength all that time.It like the promise we can read on Alma 26:27"Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success." That is what we are blessed.

We had a whole family come to church yesterday and it was a great joy to see them at church.We always are happy whenever we can bring people to church.

We love sharing message of restoration with everybody and sharing Book of Mormon too. Recently One  investigator said "since the time i picked up Book of Mormon i have seen blessing in my life" and i know that to be true .Let us all share Book of Mormon when ever we have those opportunities. It will bless everybody.One of the scripture that i like from book of Mormon is

from Jacob 3:1 " But behold, I, Jacob, would speak unto you that are pure in heart. Look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto him with exceeding faith, and he will console you in your afflictions".

I love u all and thank u so much for all you do.y'all are the best!!!!!
