Week 12: The road to salvation is a rough ride!

Hey guys, how are you all and thank you all for reading my blog and I hope it will be fun to read and you might learn something from it. Trust me the "blog thing" is not from me, Its my brother who started it and now when I keep sending weekly messages I feel like yeah that would be so nice to read for myself when I finish my mission. 

Yet an another week in Coimbatore and I enjoyed a lot serving here. We also got one more assignment which is Semmedu Branch, let me tell you something about the place the Church is surrounded by, That beautiful Church is covered with huge mountains and the weather there is so amazing!! you would feel like the other side of heaven! I love the nature there and looking at god's creation designed so beautifully sometimes I wonder how beautiful are we created and the lord has placed us in this world to be tested. Yesterday one sister gave a wonderful talk about our heavenly father and the love to his people. She shared how merciful our heavenly father is to sacrifice his only begotten son to save us all, the entire world. It is very hard to let go of your beloved ones for the sake of saving the world but our heavenly father did it. There is more deeper feeling to know for ourselves about the role heavenly father plays in our life. Think about it!

The road to our salvation is not on a plain, empty, clean road but it is on a rough, muddy, full of thorns, humps, speed-breaker and so on!. That's how life is however there is a promise given which is to follow the Christ and do all the things which he did, for even in this unbalanced road you will gain a stronger testimony. So does the missionary work, it is a challenging one for with man which is not possible but through all is possible. I would love to be a possible missionary for there is happiness in this.

I made vermicelli and it came up good and I hope I will be a better cook next time. Take care and enjoy every moment in your life and always remember #Helives and through him all things are possible.

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 ...

Week 20&21: "Willing to bear one another's burden"

Image
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. Last night I was reading a article from the Liahona for the month of December and I read about "Willing to bear one another's burdens" and as I read it I was filled with the spirit and love towards those who are in need of. When we have fe...

Hey everybody how are you all and once again I'm excited to write to you all!. I see that most of you have had a wonderful YSA conference held in Bangalore. Good job Bangalore!!!!! I really missed this YSA conference and I always wanted to be in the committee to help and support the team but based on the feedback you have rocked it!!!!! I love you guys, you did it!. I heard that my brother danced!! HAHA!!! I received few pics from him and you all look so wonderful. Well my week was awesome as we had our Zone Conference and followed by that the next day we had a special devotional from the Church Historian and for the first time they have visited "INDIA", along with them we were so happy to meet Elder Evans from the Asia area presidency. So based on that devotion I learnt that its very very very important to keep records of our life journey so that our future generation will be benefited. I was uplifted by the talk given Elder Snow about his Grandma's video type, ...
