Week 53: "The journey is not complete yet"

Hey Everybody!!!!! Wow, what a wonderful week it was. I and my companion had so much fun and we were able to find new people to teach. It was a twist of an experience I had last week. Well to start off we had many rejections on the work of the lord and I was able to experience with my new companion and that was a lesson for us to not grant people easily. "Salvation is not a cheaper experience" It is a deeper meaning to it. So we didn't get disappointed by this, we still moved forward and focused on the work. I love my companion with all my heart.

 Later I was lost in a confused state and was wondering what happened in the past one year, leaving my home to serve the lord. I then remembered the best moments happened exactly last year before I left home. Those happy moments helped me to come back and away from distractions. I was able to love my mission and so far I enjoyed being in different state and cities and different companions. Every moment was awesome and most of all I found a good and dear friends on this mission.

 Then above all I came to a better understanding about the Savior Jesus Christ, without the Savior, I cannot complete this journey which I decided to start in the year July 2017. With him all things are possible and even at worst situation and depression, he was able to help me come out and gave the strength to bear the pain. I now come to a point where I travelled only half of my journey and it is not complete. I need to finish it and I have about one more year to go and I am excited to meet my families very soon. Well, one year is long, but guess what I have completed 365 days and I have 365 days to go. HEHE!!! 

I had a chance to meet my previous companion's family Elder Richards!!! I enjoyed spending time with them and with my beloved companion :) I also had a chance to take a pic with my previous companion and current companion together. I felt great!!! Well, enjoy the week ahead and all the best in all you do which is right!!!

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...

I was uplifted by the talk given Elder Snow about his Grandma's video type, ...
