Week 45: "Christ paid a debt which he did not owe, because we owed a debt which we could not pay!!!"

Hey Everybody!!! 

I am doing super awesome here in Vijayawada!!! I am getting darker day by day but that doesn't matter, which matters most is the work of the lord and I am so happy to see people coming to Church wanting to know more about Christ. We had a very successful activity based on the "TEMPLES" and we were able to see our loved investigators attending the program and learning a lot about the temples and what we do inside!!! Really I learnt new things which I wasn't aware of and by that my testimony gained and we didn't stop there, we continued  to visit investigators home and asking them how they felt about the temple, their reply was "what should we do to go inside one day" we simply shared the message about the first step to enter inside the kingdom of heaven which is "Baptism" and we extended the Savior's invitation to make the first step and they said YES!!! I was like yes!!! that's what its about and our work. I love that family a lot - Durga Rao Family and his brother Samba Siva Rao. They are amazing and three people from their family have decided to experience the baptism this coming Saturday and rest all next month July first week. Isn't it amazing to see how people are in need of the truth. I love being here and excited for this new week!! 

One more thought I wanna share is about the Savior - Jesus Christ. The Subject of this email is from Elder Bednar which I learnt last week when he visited India. Once again  -  "Christ paid a debt which he did not owe, because we owed a debt which we could not pay" this quote entered inside my heart very deep so that I can ponder exactly what did Jesus Christ do for me!!! Its beyond words which I can express!! Truly he paid for me which I cannot pay it back, He took care of me and all I need to do is to be thankful and show the respect to him in all we can do. 

I really love this missionary work and learning a lot from the servant of the lord helps me to strengthen my testimony and deeper understanding about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I cannot remember all of it so I record it in the book of Atonement. 

I promise you when you learn more about the savior's atonement, you will come to know how much he loved us and how much heavenly father loves us.

I hope and pray to have a good week ahead and don't forget - 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, ...
