Hello everyone!!!!
This week was actually a pretty good week for Elder Thompson
and I. We are still moving along and have quite a bit of good things
going on in our area. A lot of the people we are working with came to church!!
This week was a really good success.
First off, a less active brother named Moses that we have
been working with FINALLY came to church. He was really happy and he
brought his whole family so it was great. He is a way cool guy and has
become a really good friend of ours. Another less active sister named Dheena came again and
another sister named Sowbagya. It was really great to see some of these
"lost sheep" beginning to come back and partake of the sacrament and
the blessings of the gospel once again.
Raj Kumar is progressing soooo well. He is really
close to getting baptized and is really getting into the YSA things now like
Saturday night cricket, and next week they are going to Mysore for an
activity. He is really excited, and in his prayers says he is planning to
get baptized. Helen is also doing well. Babitha came again is doing
nicely and we set her with a date for the 25th of June...so she, Helen and Raj
Kumar are planned all for next week on Saturday!!! So we could tack on 3 more
baptisms this month!! Pray for these people so that they all can make to that
date!!:)
The best thing was about Sindhu and Swathi. On Tuesday
it wasn't looking so good for them. The father was still being flaky, and
so we were losing hope that this week they would get baptized. We
continued to plan with faith that some miracle would happen and we prayed so
hard for them this week. When Friday came, still didn't look good, then
Saturday came still not good. But Saturday evening we saw them and they
said their father is giving permission!! So we took a member and got all the
paper work done and we baptized them!!!!!!!!!!! It was so good and an amazing
service. All the young women got up and recited the young women theme for
them and welcomed them. It was a super amazing baptism. I will send
pics:) Their father is in a pink colored shirt. Babitha, is in the Saree
and Sindhu is the thinner of the two. Really great miracle this week.
So that is about it for our week. It turned out really
well and it looks like in about 12 days we could be having 3 more baptisms!!!
So this week hopefully we can find a new family or two to refill our teaching
pool!:)
Sounds like you all are doing well also! Love you guys a ton!!
