Hello fam!!!
This week was kind of disappointing, but i guess
i can't confidently say that because we actually taught a great amount of
lessons and saw some decent progress with a couple people.
On Thursday we taught Sailakshmi with the Bishop, and she
told us her parents aren't supporting her so she can't get baptized yet....So
this is a huge issue in India. She is 24 and living away from her
family. She is an adult and can make her own decisions...but it's so
traditional here and this is how it normally is that even the adults need
permission. But anyway, she actually told us yesterday when we taught her
that we can plan for next week baptism!! We have been really praying for her
parents' hearts to soften and it is working. So if you could please do
the same that would be awesome. But it would be way cool if i could
finish off my last week on my mission with a baptism!! But she is still
awesome.
Raj Kumar got the priesthood this week and he is super
pumped. Apsalom is doing well and we taught him this week. We also
taught a new guy named Aju Thomas. Muthulakshmi is good but she won't get
baptized until August....so that's kind of unfortunate, but i guess it doesn't
really matter when she does as long as she does. And she will.
Other than that we saw some great success in getting the
less actives we have been working with to church this week!! We worked pretty
hard this week with the less actives since most of our investigator lessons
bunked on us. So for my last week we are still planning on hitting it
hard:) But i have quite a few members inviting me to eat at their home so we
are going to juggle that:) I am going to try to get back to Lingarajapuram but not sure if i will have time:(
Anyway i will have one more p-day, so next week i will shoot
you just a quick email so this is pretty much our last email!!!.....what???? Where
did the time go??? But i am ready to be home now. Ready to move on.
I learned so much on my mission and really changed a lot. Thanks for
setting up that appointment with the stake president.:) Looks like dinner and
then meeting the president on that night right???;)
Some sad news this week huh??? That's a bummer. Will
really miss Michelle.....
Glad you liked that song dad...;) sorry i didn't play it very
well. It's been a while since i have played that song!! But this guy we
were staying with in Goa was playing it. so i hopped on and gave it a
try:)
It truly has been a wonderful mission and been a great
ride!!!! Thanks so much for your love, support and prayers....Love you guys so
much!!
