Week 5: One Month Mark in Mission Field

Hey all,

Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!.... I have completed one month in full time mission and I felt it was like a week ago I left my home... HAHAHA I am just kidding 😋  well how are all and how is everyone at your home. I doing great here in Erode District and I am so happy to serve here. Last week we had a baptism of Sister Nandini and she is awesome in remembering things, without reading the scripture she can memorize the ten commandments. I felt like wow at first even I couldn't remember them a lot.  
The field is so white here and already to harvest, all we need to do is get to know about them and help them understand the true doctrine of Christ. At times its hard when they go out of the topic and we strive hard to get them back on the lesson. Its fun to hear about what they share but everyone has lots of question in life just like how I had when I got to know about the gospel and I feel so blessed to answer to their questions. When we felt the love of Christ in our life, we should not be hesitant to share them to others.

One thing I learnt during the week is that scriptures are very very important while sharing the gospel so I started to read 2 chapters from Old testament, New testament and Book of Mormon, its good to study them and at times when we had BOM challenge in our ward, I used to not read them much or complete it 😁 HEHE but now I learnt the importance of it. Its good to have the knowledge of Scriptures and My companion is amazing in that, he rocks like anything and I will gain that experience one day!...  

On Sunday we had a wonderful dinner at Sister Stella's home and she prepared awesome chapatis and idlies with Chicken and mutton gravy and it reminded me of my home😍 

Have fun in your ward and always help the ward during sacrament meetings and other classes as well, for there is fruit in it that will taste above all earthly fruits.


Take care and rock the world 😎

Love,
Elder Ravindran

Week 23: 2018 Blast!!

I remember last new year roaming on the mid night with dear friends, wishing everybody even if they are strangers it didn't matter and having some fun on roads, a wonderful meal with friends and family. It was wonderful and a time that would never come back. I made a resolution that day, the very day when 2017 was born, that I would do something useful in life and I have made an amazing and loving decision in my life is going on a mission, for me its very precious and I would treasure it for lifetime. Most of us would say don't count the days when you are on mission but as I paused and looked back, I was like wow I completed 5 months. 5 months I was away from my family and friends and its totally a different feelings. I know those who have finished your mission would understand what I am talking about. I would say that its awesome to be an missionary, It taught me lot of things that I would face worldly and I would be capable of overcoming the trails. From my deep heart I ...

Hey everybody, I am soooooo sorry for not emailing you all, Last week we went out as it was Elder Abel's last P-day so we spent our time with him. However our week went so well as it was light the world program and we were able to print the banner and put it outside the chapel so that the people who walk can see it and we did receive some people and some stand and see from outside the main road as we projected the light the world video on the church wall. Its amazing to see it from outside.  My days on mission is going fine and today my companion Elder Abel finished his 2 years mark and traveled back home. So for next 10 days we three will be on trio, me elder miller and thiviyanathan and then I will be getting a companion.

When we have fe...

I was uplifted by the talk given Elder Snow about his Grandma's video type, ...
