Week 54: "Be Valiant and wise in all things"

Dear friends, Its grateful to be a missionary at this point. Coming on a mission was my difficult decision which I, ever made, I thought its going to be an easy journey and I will get back to the normal life. But guess what it is not what I thought before I left my home!!!

 Mission life taught me many things which I already knew about but was not knowing the value of it. Now learning step by step from the missionaries I worked with and the meetings I have attended and teachings taught by our mission president is something very special and I took it into my heart to learn from them the doctrine of Christ. As I learned every day about the Book of Mormon, the 4 gospels from new testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) helped me to know more about the Savior. His ministries and teachings which helped me to improve on the teachings.I now come to a level of understanding what the gospel means to me and the people we teach. Truly, this work is greater than anything in this world and I love it.

 Last week was amazing and we found new areas to teach. The lord's work is moving forward here in Vijayawada, It's sad that our Branch president is leaving aboard and we will have a new president very soon. We had a Zone conference with the Asia Area president and they taught us many things which is so great for the mission. Especially I learnt about AGENCY from 2 Nephi 2. Wise Agency is very vital in the choice we make every day and in the life to come.

 The plan is not complete without the Atonement of Jesus Christ and I bear that testimony without Jesus Christ our life is a dead end and we couldn't return to father in heaven. Here we can see how god is loving heavenly father that he gave his only begotten son so that everyone can have everlasting life if we believe in Christ.
I was so happy to be in Hyderabad, I always have that desire to serve there, however lord was merciful to let me experience one day with the other missionaries. There I met Elder Dusara who once served with my brother in IBM. It was nice to meet him and he had the same photo face even till now. HEHE
 
Be Brave in all your choices you make!!! Have a wonderful week. 

#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...

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.

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