Week 27: “God has said that the inward vessel shall be cleansed first.” Alma 60:23

Hey everybody, yeahhh I have completed 6 months on mission and its wonderful to be here. Lots of things happened during this 6 months and coming on mission made me better in understanding about Christ. This 2 years will never come back and understanding about the savior is very much essential in each and every life. 

As I was going through Alma 60 this particular verse struck my mind and I started to ponder about it. What does it mean about the "inward vessel shall be cleansed first" many thoughts came into my mind and one thing it always appeared to me was about my heart, mind, might and strength. Most of the times our minds, hearts intend to do mistake which would hurt ourselves and people around us. This makes us unclean in front of the lord.  As we strive on to work with it while helping the people around us, improving on Christlike attributes, getting to know more about Jesus Christ. surly there will be some improvement in each one of us. As we know about Christ, is it not enough. There is even deeper meaning about that verse and I will strive to learn more about it with the help of Holy Ghost. 

Last week I met my friend from Bangalore and it was nice to see him as he completed his mission and supporting the ward in all he can do. 

Enjoy this new week and all is well. 

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...

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, ...
