Hello
Family!!!
Well hello
my awesome family! Today was another awesome P-Day and a pretty good week! Even
though there wasn't that much missionary work that went on.
First of
all, Ill give a shout out to my sister Emily who is leaving on her mission in 2
days! Man i am super excited and cant keep thinking of the wonderful experience
she is about to partake in her life.
And also I
was super pumped to get the 2 packages this week! Let me say everyone kind of
hates me right now but dont worry mom, I have been sharing ;) I was pretty
stoked about the strawberry and Chocolate Nesquik! And yes I did get the Debit
card but I havent tried it yet. I got to talk to Daniel for a small moment so
hopefully I can talk more next week at church. He did give me an embarrassing
hug thanks to you mom :)
This week
has been pretty good because of the training that we recieved in
Bangalore. So, we left Tuesday night on train which again was fun and a little
sketchy. I just love watching what I think are mice running around in the
train. When we arrived in Bangalore, all the zones that attended met up at the
church. We had the Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore and the 4 Sri Lanka
missionaries with us so we had a huge group.
Basically
the 3 day training consisted of 8 hours a day and learning the
principals/fundamentals of Preach My Gospel. So that included many things and
kept us busy. We did lots of teaching practices to help us improve and apply
the things we were learning. They were long hours but it was important for us
to learn. Hopefully we will all go back to our areas and apply the things we
learned.
After the
trainings we would go with a set of elders and go to their area in Bangalore
and try to visit and practice more. Which was kind of lame for us since the
area took us an hour and a half to get their with all the traffic and
being night.
But an
interesting experience that I got was to teach a person of the Muslim faith for
the first time. We have to get special permission from President in order
to teach Muslims due to reasons. It was a pretty cool experience. I didnt
really know how to go about teaching to well but I felt the lesson went well.
He has a desire to learn how he can recieve an answer if Jesus Christ was
actually our Savior and Redeemer.
We had lots
of fun in Banglore, the area we got to stay in was loaded with nice
restaurants. I was able to have Taco Bell, Burger King and Krespy Kreme!
Oh man it was the best!
After the
Training we went back to Coimbatore and everything is well. We set 2 new
baptismal dates with A new investigator named Charles for the 22 of Aug! He is
an awesome kid alot like Jebaraj. The Training took pretty much the whole week
but it was good to have.
Jebaraj was
confirmed this week at church and gave a small testimony in fast and testimony
meeting which made my day.
Today for
P-Day we went to see Taj and his family since they are leaving next week and
asked if we could go visit them one last time. haha So we went and hung out
with them again :) This time we didnt play much bball but went on a cool hike
in the forest. Which was pretty cool since Taj said no one is allowed where we
went but since he has some pretty cool connections they allowed us in. We hiked
up to a cool waterfall place and had fun watching everyone play in the water...
:( but it was super cool. Very pretty. They didnt let us take pictures for some
reason but im pretty sure we will get some.
Love you
all and thank you all so much for the awesome letters you gave! Have a great
week everyone!
