Elder Prabhu Ravindran - India Bangalore Mission

Hey Everybody!!!  Yet an amazing week I had in Vijayawada!! Once again I rode for 25kms on last Tuesday and this time I was able to do it and I wasn't tired at all. I learnt how meaningful is the lesson on Word of Wisdom!!! I feel it now!! Being so healthy and not weary!!  I had an awesome moments with Elder Bednar yesterday in Rajahmundry stake conference and we were invited to meet the apostle along with our Vijayawada Branch members and investigators. It was very inspiring visit and knowing more from Elder Bednar about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Truly I learnt a better way of teaching the Restoration to the people we visit and we applied on the same day to one of investigator and he also felt different from other churches. I Love being a missionary and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and now I find more meaning to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I was lately learning a lot about the atonement of Jesus Ch...

Hey everybody!!! I am so happy to hear from few of you. Thanks for your thoughts!! I enjoyed last week and I had one spiritual appointment with one brother named Sunil and he is getting married in the next week, he is very eager to hear alot about the gospel and guess what he took baptism some where near to his home and I had the prompting to ask him whether did he get immersed fully inside the water and he said no!!! Wow then we had a perfect lesson to teach about the Savior's example and guess what he said he will get baptized once again by someone holding a proper authority from god. I testify that I felt the spirit at that home and I enjoyed sharing the gospel with him. So we had exchange last week and I was able to learn the area of Vijayawada. The members here are amazing and loving too. They feed us alot!!! Its hot here and I trying to keep up with my diet of not having rice but I am trying :D We had a baptism servie in the Krishna River in front of Hindu Temple. It...

Hey everybody!!!  I felt so happy talking to my family yesterday and I was able to talk to my grandma! I love her a lot and I see my cousin's are growing too fast!! I couldn't believe days are going so fast and I have about 14 months to go!!   Wow I had an awesome week on my mission and guess what.... I had to bicycle all day in the hot summer. One day I rode about 25 kms and I didn't think that would happen but I made it. I pressed forward in the work of the lord and we met more than 20 investigators lats week. Truly this area is awesome and there is more work. First time I am doing the street contacting and it thrills me all time to talk to some strange people. However we have lots to do here and we are preparing few families for Baptism and I hope they will able to face the trials and get baptised.  I love reading the talks when it comes to ATONEMENT. It really helps me get into a different world of understanding the Savior's character, but that...

Hey everybody!!! I am sorry I couldn't email you all last week. So yeah to tell it in short there were transfers happening during the week and I had to leave Coimbatore all of a sudden to go to Bangalore and be with the assistants for a week and then I get transferred to Vijayawada. Wow its so hot here and I love being here to learn Telugu and share the gospel with the people here in Vijayawada!!! Its a new start for me and I am excited to be here!!! About Vijayawada - its a new area and a branch was started in the month of Feb 2018!! I will update you all next week about the area and the people we visit during the week.  Remember that the saviour Jesus Christ lives and he has atoned for our sins so that we may return back to our heavenly father. He took our pains, sorrows, grief, affliction... he has also given a gift which is repentance so that we may become clean.    Love you all and rock the world!!!! Love, Elder Ravindran
