April 25, 2016 - Bengaluru, Whitefield

Well another week down.  Time flies right??  This week was okay.  Not too bad and not great either.  We managed to find a couple of new investigators, but they didn't seem all that interested.  We will see if they call us back.  

Other than that we have just been teaching pretty much the same people.  We basically dropped Babitha this week because we have taught her everything and don't know what else to do.  So we are taking our foot off the gas pedal with her, and i guess that was the right decision because she finally came to church this week.  So that was good.

The best news is about Prathapan and Shanthi.  We FINALLY got them to commit to a date.  On May 8 they will be baptized as well as with two of their friends who are great as well.  So that is really exciting.  That took awhile and was a very slow process, but I think it will work out in the end.  

This week is Mission Conference so we will get to learn from President Berrett and President Funk.  We have a couple potentials that we are also going to be working with this week, so hopefully that will work out as well.  This area is really hard.  Very hard.  But we are diligent and hoping that a breakthrough will happen soon.  

Today for P-day, we played cricket.  Man that game is fun.  So awesome.  Definitely one of my favorite sports.  Such a fun sport.  We are trying to eat good.  Elder Basil is dieting so....haha, at least attempting to;) We always eat out.  It takes way too long to prepare food inside, and also we can find some decent and cheap options outside.

Not much on our agenda upcoming except for our zone conference on Friday, MLC on Thursday and then next week we have a couple Zone Leader exchanges.  Then the week after is transfers...

Yes mom we have milk.  It isn't bad.  Not anything like the milk at home, but i guess i have just gotten used to it.  Our apartment is okay.  Pretty spacious for only two elders.  Yes it is getting hot.  Like everyone in Bangalore is telling us that Bangalore has never been this hot...lucky me, haha.  

So basically does that mean that my 1st year (at BYU), i won't have to take as many classes??? That would be good!  Well not sure what else to say...my emails are getting lame i know.  But i don't know what to say anymore.  Running out of things to say, so sorry if my last 14 emails are all short...
Love you!
