Week 42: "Does the journey seem long?"

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 is not enough until I apply the Atonement of Jesus Christ in my life. I have seen the importance of it recently when no one can understand you better, Please remember the Savior does and he is the only one who knows you better than anyone in this world. He is the light and that is the light we offer to those who are in darkness and have lost their way!!! If that light which is even lower light it will help and bless your life and I have seen it in my life. Truly Jesus Christ can heal us and he can heal the broken hearts and soul.... So does the journey seem long? With Jesus Christ I can sail for long until I reach the eternal destiny. I plead to all who read this email. I testify that he is the way, the truth and the life for us. His invitation to those who are wandering in the land of no where. I echo that he lives and repentance is a gift so choose it for right for the lord will wonders among you!!!! 

I am very much excited and thrilled to do more work in Vijayawada. I love it. 

I hope and pray to have a wonderful week and enjoy your week as well.

Remember - #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 ...

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

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, ...
