This week was a pretty good week for us. We had a couple of unproductive days due to me going to get foreigner registered and also splitting the area and sorting out a bunch of member list stuff.
But other than that we found 10 new investigators this week
as we did door knocking and finding, so that was awesome. One of our investigators Reena, is doing really well and is
either going to get baptized this upcoming sunday or the next sunday, but either
way she will get baptized for sure.
So the majority of our new investigators is an awesome
family. So this is how we found them: we were walking to a members
home when behind us i saw a kid with a christian school uniform, so i started
talking to him and as we talked we found out his whole family is Christian.
we asked if he could take us to his home and he did. so Wednesday and Sunday
we taught his whole family, and they are so prepared and awesome. This
kid's name is Ranjeet. So Ranjeet, his brother John, and his friend
Rithik all came to church, and next week the whole family will come. Also
they are introducing like a bunch of their friends and family to us so we can
teach them! It is so awesome. It is cool because most missionaries
haven't worked much in this area because it is predominantly Muslim, but because
of that all the Christians know each other, so they are very close and friendly
so a ton of potential. It was just evidence that God prepares his
children and also places people in our path every day for a reason.
But other than that we are doing a ton of finding because we
split our areas. We are in the same ward as the APs so we just split the
areas so are kind of whitewashing the areas. Also Elder Basil is the AP
so i am living with my aussie mate again!:) It is pretty fun.
Yeah my comp is quite the experience haha. He
struggles with teaching and is just an interesting guy...so I will be learning a lot of patience. He is teaching me
Hindi though which is nice, but yeah it is going okay.
I am really growing a lot on my mission, and i can really feel
the spirit testify through me as i teach. I still can improve on a lot but
lately as i have been teaching, i am more and more feeling the spirit literally
fill my mouth with the words to say, and also can feel it testifying to
people. It is such a great feeling.
The stake is not bad, still young so it will take time
to blossom but still nice (was created November 2015); the stake leadership is full indian. The
Americans that are here are living here for a period of about 3 years most of
the time. They are here for their work, and they do actually live far from us and the chapel in a place that literally feels like America
from what i have heard.
The Manila temple was awesome...i loved it so much, very
small on the inside. how is the meridian temple?? the sessions in manila are
in English. and speaking of manila, a member from manila just attended
our ward yesterday because she is here for work, and i can still speak
tagalog:):) I spoke with her in tagalog and it was awesome.
I don't know Elder Dille and i don't know any Bares...
Yep i received the family calendar:) i love it!:) As far as why i like the mission culture is because they care more about the people here than the numbers, and in the Philippines it just seemed like everyone was going for leadership and recognition. Here the missionaries care so much about the people and i love it. But i am so happy to be back in India!!!
Love you guys!!!
