Hey!
  That was perfect! Thank you mom.  Yeah we got your cookies and I think they were the best batch ever. My companion commented that they were addicting then another treat that was made for us this weekend was muddy buddies!  Needless to say I became a bit weak and ate some of the sugary goodness that was given to me this weekend. Man o man those Little's are so precious. They looked good! Peights picture in the bushes was intense. He's quite the soldier:) If you would please thank Peight for his testimony again. He's a powerful soldier for Heavenly Father as well. So what were the good candy's he gave up? That's be hard! They are some faithful kids. Dad looks great! Hey mom could ya do me a huge favor and give dad a huge hug for me and a big kiss and just tell him that I love him then tell him that he's hugging you for me:) One way that I feel Heavenly Fathers love each day is through the mom and dad I have. Thanks for being so great.
 
All is well here. We had a great week full of so many miracles. Our ESL class went really well both days. The rest of the week we tracted and tried to find those that have desires to come unto Christ. So Nblia Chang is one woman that we tried to teach when Elder Clawson was here. We found her in the phonebook. Then after a few visits she didn't seem to want to do much. She was very nice. Well then after about a month is when we decided that starting an ESL class would be good for the work and the community so we made fliers and hung them up in Hmong markets and laundromats all over town. We got a call one day from a woman who wanted to learn English and it was Nblia. So she began coming and has been for the past 4 months. When we've taught about principals of the gospel she's asked great questions and she started praying the day we taught about prayer. When we taught about fasting she did that as well. Her husband won't let her come to church. Maybe I've explained this before but the men still buy their wives so the women "have" to do what their husbands say. Last week we went to her house and while we were visiting she had to leave to go pick up kids from school so that left us there with her husband. He's very nice. We politely asked that if Nblia wanted to come to church would he allow it and he said yes. We were so excited! So Sunday came around and Nblia was a bit nervous but she came! She had a great time and one of her six children came and enjoyed primary. The Hmong members were very excited to see her there. Some members told us that they shooting squirrels in their backyard due to them burying nuts everywhere (Same members that gave us muddy buddies). The Hmong people love eating squirrel. During a few months of the year it's legal to kill them so we called the Ze Lor family and asked if they would want the squirrels he shot to eat and they were excited about it so we take the squirrels he shoots to them. I'm really sorry for my grammar. I feel like my vocab is very elementary.  I hope that all makes sense. This member was doing it just to keep them from burying all kinds of stuff and now he's excited to have more reason to kill them. 
 
All is well here:) I love being a missionary! I really do. The work is always great and there will always be fruit if your truly trying your best to live worthy of receiving revelation then being diligent in following it. Elder Sandall and I are having a great time together. He's one good Elder. Thanks for all you do for me and please let me know if there's anything I can do for you all. I love you all very much. Please hug and kiss the Little's for me:) 
 
Love Elder Paramore
