Week 7: Leap of faith - We all need to have that in our life!!!!

Hey everybody!!!

Great last week was a different experience, first of all we had combined district meeting so we had to travel from our place to Coimbatore! man I enjoyed the ride in the private bus. Yes there was lot of Tamil songs played in the bus and all I need to do is think of something in mind so that I don't want to concentrate on the songs played. I tried my best! HEHE!! Anyways I love to travel so I enjoyed the ride and had a good meeting with the Coimbatore elders and sisters. The zone leaders trained us to focus on people you teach and know their needs which is very important for us to teach the lesson. then they shared one scripture for everyone that was very much needed, it is D&C 88:124 where it teaches us not to be idle and lazy, going to bed on time and waking up on time, not finding fault on others. So I am trying my level best to be more active and just follow that scripture.  

Later on the week days we were trying to teach less actives to feel the love of Christ and it was hard to make them understand and we failed at times and then I cried why it is not happening, why did they stop coming and many questions raised in my mind and all I did was to pray to father in heaven and ask why, why did this happen to them. Then I read in Ether 12:27 and its says the lord gives weaknesses so that they can humble themselves and come unto Christ and yes many of us lack in it and so on many people leave the Church, when we know the importance of the gospel we will never leave the truth aside. 
So I plead to you all just try your best to bring the lost sheep back in its fold so that they can enjoy the life which you are enjoying, they can feel the love which you felt. Missionary work is not only about sacrificing 2 years to invite people unto Christ, the callings which you have in the Church is also a missionary work. So do your best and the lord will be pleased. 

So my friends always carry that leap of faith where people will turn to Christ one day and that I felt on the last Sunday where we got 2 new investigators and they wanted to know about the Christ. Yeah!!! My prayer was answered and thus I had faith in the lord that ye will answer to our prayers. So yes we got work to do and I am sooooo excited to do the lords work in this 2 years and after till life on earth:)     

have a great week ahead and enjoy sharing the love of Christ. 

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...
