Hello and Namaste to all

How are u all ?? Its again a very very cold day here in Minnesota. Its 0 Degrees here today.And its all snow and ice on the road. We had a huge snow storm last Thursday i think , all the cars were grounded and obviously we cant bike in 6 inches of snow. So we decide walk and man it was super fun . At the afternoon it was half snow and half rain and we were walking on the street knocking doors and people thought we were crazy. But we had a great time , we snow shoveled , we pushed cars and some more pushing. I LOVE SNOW! But sometime it is just too cold coz of wind chills. I don't think i like windchill thou. But other than that its awesome. 
We had a Nepali come to church and it was a sister and her two young brothers and they liked the church. They were all excited and we are excited for them too. We had a great church meeting and for the first time in my life we went and taught Relief society at the last hour. It was soooo weird to teach all these sister and only us . But it went well and i hope i don't have to teach Relief society again.
Our days are going super awesome lots of time finding and tracting and contacting. And i love finding anyway so its just what i want. So Minneapolis is soo different people than Saint paul. The people are totally different. So one of the great culture shock for me was the Gays and Lesbians here. Well i didnt knew there were so many of them here. And gay marriage is legal here in Minnesota.
I love reading scripture and i was reading this verse and i loved it    1 Nephi 1:20 "And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain; and they also sought his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hathchosenbecause of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.
Well we are loving our adventure of finding people and doing lots of Lords works.
Thank y'all for your love. I love u all.
 
 Hey and guess what, we are" In the Hood". i have a picture for y'all.

Hola ! coma estas ??

Every Mexican person i pass by think i am Mexican and talks in spanish. And i say No ab-la Spaniel. So ya thats how my days are going here Minneapolis . We are biking super hard everyday.I love snow , and i am still trying to learn how to bike on snow and its not fun when u fall down from your bike in the middle of street. :( BUT i am yet ALIVE!!!!!!  and i am grateful for that. So today its snowed again here . i think it snowed like 3 to 4 inches here in today. I dont knw how we are gonna bike today in this snow but its fun be fun for sure.
Well I am trying the learn the ward and the area here in lake Nokomis. And i have no idea where is North or south , neither do i knw where is East and west. But i hope someday i will Knw.
We were biking this one day and we passed by this lady but we felt in inspired to come back and talk to her and she talked to us and we got an return appointment with her. so that was a great miracle we had this week.We are super positive to find people prepared from Our heavenly father.
s i was pondering all these things and was going through scripture i read in Alma 26: 22" 22 Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance."
I love this scripture and i will do my best to put these into action.This scripture is such as inspiration to me. I think this is gonna be my favorite scripture.
I hope y'all have a great day. Enjoy each and every moment of your life.I love y'all.Thanks for all ya do and thanks for wishing me birthday on my birthday.

Hello and Namaste to all of you

How are y'all doing?? I hope everything is going great . So today's Weather forecast is 0 degrees and we are in biking area now. Biking in cold is super duper tough. I try to cover everything possible while biking but still its cold and the face gets numb after couple of minutes of biking.
Well anyway it fun and we were biking other day and i nearly died coz there are some crazy drivers here in Minneapolis.
Except for that everything is Super Good. I love it here and i love cities anyway.I am here in a ward called Lake Nokomis Ward in Minneapolis and its a great ward i love everything here already. We have a great bishop and great members here in this ward. I am going to learn a lot of things here in this place.As i have come to learn and do so many things here on my mission and it has helped me to build my testimony a lot.
My new companion is Elder Saunders and he is from Utah . HE is super good. I love him. We are biking together and lots of stuff.
As i have come to knw so many people and member here in Minnesota i do also remember all of u. Y'all have been a great example and blessing to me. I love u all and hope that y'all have a great day.
I want to share this scripture with all of u which i read and liken unto me "Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has allwisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.
 10 And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask insincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them."

We knw that its gonna bless there life and there family too,
Being in mission and help me see ,what i have through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Let us get together and work to bring many souls unto Christ. Like Christ said in Matthew
" ¶Go ye therefore, and teach all nationsbaptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
I was reading Jacob today and really felt the spirit as i read "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and acleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his barm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts.

Hello and Namaste to everyone
I hope everybody is doing great in your life!!!!!!!
I am doing absolutely fine. The weather is good now. I think it is 30 degrees outside right now and its HOT. I hope it cools down soon.
We are having great days here in St paul , Minnesota. Teaching great people and having lots of fun everyday. Fun as in, talking to people on the street, knocking the door, try to sing song for them at there doors etc..
Yep i love it and i have fun doing these things.
We are a teaching Great African Sister right now who is getting baptize on 2 weeks. She is just so amazing. When time wen we were there her sister anti her little bit and told her the same old things like, They have 2 wives, and they have different bible and blah blah yada yada. But we asked her "have u seen anybody with 2 wives in our church when u are there?" and the answer is obviously NO. And the problem was solved.
She is getting stronger and stronger everyday. She sang a song last time we were there about our Lord and it was wonderful. I love Love LOved it!!!!!
It been such a blessing to be here in Minnesota and serve here.I love everything and super glad to serve our Lord God.I was reading Moroni 7:46 "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail." and i knw this is true without charity we are nothing and i am working on it and i hope and pray we all work for it everyday in our life.
I love u all and pray for u .Thank u soo much.
