July 14, 2015- 5 Transfers down

Hello my awesome family and friends!!

This week in the Coimbatore 2nd Branch has gone quite well and yes, I have stayed safe from the police. Everything is sorted out and there is no problem know. It has been a little hotter than usual but that does not stop the work from progressing! Me and Elder Monk are doing quite well.

We did receive our transfer calls and it looks like me and Elder Monk are staying another transfer in Coimbatore which is awesome and then for sure Elder Monk will be going to the Philippines to renew his visa. Which means I will probably be in Coimbatore another transfer after that :)

We do have some good news! So Bascar, our previous investigator who left town 2 weeks past, has come back and is staying from what we hear! We went to see his sister and there he was. He was happy to see us and immediately wanted again to start where he had left off. So we set a baptismal date for The 2nd of August with him. 

This week for me was a pretty good week and I had the most lessons that I have had so far on the mission. I agree with you dad, that is something we have been trying to do is to strengthen the branch and the members and work through them to receive referrals. 

There is this one family I have visited a couple times which makes me laugh every time I am there. They are a family of four. (grandma, mother, son and daughter) And the only one who speaks English is the son Harish/Hayish. Every time I see the grandma at church or anywhere she just speaks nonstop Tamil at me and expects me to understand... And that happens everywhere with the Grandmas! Why do they think a white kid knows Tamil!! but it has been super fun learning the little phrases in Tamil. Every time I say something in Tamil they are all like OOH and AHH. I feel pretty awesome haha

I don't know if you have heard but a Sister and Brother Rowland came up to Coimbatore and visited our branch. They were from Orem, UT and they said they know Grandpa Conrad. They live a couple blocks away apparently? They have a son who has a house here that they visit sometimes and it was so fun to meet with their family. They invited us over to play some bball and hang out at there house next week.

It looks like I'll be in Bangalore July 28-31 for a training so hopefully the package doesn't disappear on us and yes I did receive the money from bro Raju. Thanks! I'll see if I can repair my camera today.

Love you all and have a great week!
