Tresor is really improving in his English so that is great
because then we can take him more on some exchanges with us. On Tuesday,
we taught Christian and Stephen and it went really well. If we could just
get Christian to church, we could easily get him to accept baptism.
Stephen is a little harder to teach, but he is still a nice guy and we are
still working on him.
So a disappointing thing this week was Vincent David....So
we didn't visit him for about four days and so on Friday we went to his house
to visit him and found out that all four days he drank and smoked....It was so
devastating and then he said the reason he did those things was because we
didn't visit him. So basically we found out that the only reason he
doesn't do those things sometimes is for us. So he isn't trying to change
for himself. So that was kind of upsetting...And then to top it off, on
Saturday night, we called his daughter to see how he is doing and found out
that his family admitted him in rehab for 5 months....so that was a
bummer. But we will still visit his wife and daughter and occaisionally
him in rehab.
On Saturday we got a training from President Berrett...he
was telling us that we have 192 more baptisms to go in Bangalore to make it a
stake so that we need to work really hard and as obediently as possible to
achieve that. We also had a missionary/member fireside on saturday where
we helped some members get excited about sharing the gospel and helping us
missionaries. We helped them learn how to introduce the gospel in simple,
non-threatening ways. It was a pretty good activity. We did role
plays with them just like we do as missionaries haha.
On Sunday Brother Pidugu, who is a non-member came to
church. It was great and he said if we don't pressure him, he will take
baptism when he is ready so that was great. We also had a great lesson
with him and his family that night. Also a really good PEC meeting where
Elder Bunga and I found that our hard work is paying off because the members
and especially the aux leaders and branch president is on our side and willing
to help and live with our results. That was really comforting.
So not much to tell this week sorry!
So mom......you are easily the best mom in the whole world
and nobody can tell me otherwise...the package was way beyond anything i
expected. I cannot thank you enough! I have already broken into the candy
and i gave Elder Bunga his bottle and bag. He loves them. I love
the stress relievers and the pictures and book markers and the talks, oh and the
socks with a picture of a crippled guy on them;) haha (KD) just kidding, the socks
are so sick! Thank you so much Mom!!! You are the best. I
definitely am blessed with parents far beyond that i deserve. You
both are so amazing. So yes please try the biriyani. It probably
won't be as good there as in India but still good;) Sounds like Kiehl is awesome
just as i expected...
Answers: Weather the last few weeks has been super hot in
the day times and then pouring rain at night. You guys have no clue what
rain is until you come to india and find sheets of rain and floods every night
haha. It is crazy. You take one step outside and immediately are
drenched. The most spiritual thing this week was probably just reading
the book of mormon like always. I read so many good things. Since
my call i have already read it twice and i am on pace to finish it again before
the end of november. it is sooooo dang good and the most important thing
to read. Most gross was probably seeing a bunch of guys who dress up in
sarees (what girls wear) and they act like girls and are gay. They are so weird and when they see a white guy, they all try to talk to me and
flirt and stuff and it is so weird and freaks me out hahaha. The most fun was
probably just being with Elder Bunga.
Dad: I hope you are safe this week in Cali. I'll be praying
for you just like i always do. And yeah we have 12 week training
haha. Play some ball with Kody and Carl, haha that would be great...show
them how to ball! I will ask about that book. Great sports center update!
BSU may be improving huh? Giants going downhill again? Who is really good in
the NFL??? Go Mountain View! The experimental NBA thing is weird, but may work
actually. The ROYALS????? What the heck? who made the playoffs this year
in the MLB? If D-rose is healthy, it will probably be the bulls and cavs in the
east...and hopefully Westbrook can keep OKC afloat until mah boi returns.
I love you too dad. You are the best dad i can ask for. And hopefully
one day i can become as great of a dad and as faithful as you are.
Well love you and miss you all! Hope you have a great
week!
Elder Ball
