Hello and Namaste 

How are you???I hope everything is going good, great and awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

​You probably are thinking what in the earth he is doing????????

So last Friday we got free dinner at Chick fill A because we dressed like a cow.It was cow appreciation day.So the member we were staying did it first and we asked them how did it go and they said it was awesome there are so many people dressed up like cow for free dinner.So they told us that we can use the costume they have and get a free dinner. We said sure and dressed up like that and got free meal at Chick fill A.It was the funniest thing i have done in my mission.That was the highlight of my week.

We also had a parade in our area that we went to. It was great. I liked it. There were so many people for that.SO went there and we tried to talk with couple of people and some thought we are Jehovah Witnesses.We talked with good number of people there.Our work is also going so great here.We are doing service almost everyday.

Saturday we went to help some investigator pull some weed from her yard and she had huge yard.She feed us breakfast and lunch. She was really kind lady.She also had tenant from India and we were able to talk with him. I was able to talk Hindi with him and he was happy so he gave us bunch of snacks from India. It was great.We also invited him to church and he came to church.We also met another family from India and again i spake in Hindi with them too and he was super happy and invited us for dinner.

I was super happy that i could speak Hindi with so many people. 

Life is still super good in mission and i am trying to stay focused in my work.There is so much to do still but time is going fast.

I love y'all and keep up the good work. Y'all are awesome.Love ya

Hey

How is everybody??? Hope y'all are doing great.

We are doing great too. I forget to tell you in my last email HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.It was a great day for all of us coz that day was our p-day. So our day started with doing some awesome service for a less active sister in the ward.

So her basement got flooded and we had tear down all her walls and everything from that basement.So it was so awesome destroying somebody's house and have fun while destroying it.I was also able to punch a hole in the wall.It was great.

So we found out there is a Hindu temple in Maple Grove so we went and tour that temple too. We are a big temple. So i was kinda of tour guide to other missionaries and telling them whats going on there.

So on 4th i wanted see the firework but i couldn't coz we have be inside our house by 9:30 and and firework didnt start till 10:00. So we are living with a member family right now and there son who is back home for summer from school went down to Wisconsin and bought some firework so he can show me nxt day. And that was awesome to see. 

Everything else is going great. The fear of time going fast is still there.

But other than that Maple Grove is a nice place to be. We have so many service opportunity in this place and we are always super happy to serve here.

It remind of scripture from Mosiah 2:17 "And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

And service does bring that joy in our life.

I love u all and thank you for all u do. God bless u all.

Hello and Namaste

How is everybody?I hope everything is going great.

WE are doing great in Minnesota.I think the rain here in Minnesota is breaking record from 1879 or something. Its all rain here.

But ya everything else is going great.Our Beloved President and Sister Clements is gone now and we have a new mission president.

They are President and Sister Forbes.We had a conference call with him yesterday and it was great.

We all are super excited to meet with him.We will be able to meet with him on Wednesday so we are looking forward to that.

President and Sister Clements made me think of how important it is for us to have mighty leaders.And it reminded me of scripture in Jarom 1:7

"And it came to pass that they came many times against us, the Nephites, to battle. But our kings and our leaders were mighty men in the faith of the Lord; and they taught the people the ways of the Lord; wherefore, we withstood the Lamanites and swept them away out of our lands, and began to fortify our cities, or whatsoever place of our inheritance."

They really were mighty leaders who taught us the ways of the Lord.We will miss them dearly.

My mission is still going fast and i am still staying strong and doing my best. Missionary work is the best work ever.

Thank you so much for you encouragement and your letter and emails.

I love u all.

Hello and Namaste to everybody

I hope everybody is doing super awesome.Thank u for y'all emails and letter , it always makes me happy to see them.

So this is a very sad week for all the missionaries here in Minnesota Minneapolis Mission. Our Mission President is leaving for his home next week.

He has served for 3 yrs now and he will be going  back. We are having a new Mission President. He is coming here on July 1st , i think his name is President Frobes from CO.

It gonna be a big great change for all of us.Our whole mission is doing super awesome right now.Everybody is working in super missionary mode right now and we are having lots of success in our mission.

I am loving this area right now. Its been a great change for me here in this area.I am constantly learning everyday.
We were able to get one of our investigator to church yesterday.At first she said no but we were persistence on getting her to and after couple of no's she finally agreed to come to church and she did come to church and she loved it and she said she will come again.That showed me the importance of being persistence.I have seen many miracles from being persistence and i know that this principle will help me rest of my life.

I love President Clements and he always reminded me of this scripture from Jarom 1:7"And it came to pass that they came many times against us, the Nephites, to battle. But our kings and our leaders were mighty men in the faith of the Lord; and they taught the people the ways of the Lord; wherefore, we withstood the Lamanites and swept them away out of our lands, and began to fortify our cities, or whatsoever place of our inheritance."

I love him dearly and he will be missed.

I love y'all to thanks for being such an great example to me.

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.

Love Elder Shrestha
