Week 70: My last Christmas on Mission will be in Vijayawada!!!

Hello Everybody!!!!! 

 Yeahhhhhhhhhhh I am staying back in Vijayawada and I am going to celebrate Christmas in this beautiful city. I am excited for it. This was going to be my last Christmas as a missionary and today I complete my 16 months mark on mission and when Christmas ends, my days on this mission will become shorter. Don't worry i'm not being trunky. There is lots of work and I have been planning for the end of 18 months I have a plan to accomplish before I go home and excited to do it. I don't know why, I just love missionary work aloooooooottttttt. It's amazing to serve God.

 We have one family to teach, Brother Samson Family who is amazing and wanting to know if they had to take Baptism once again, then we explained to be one right Baptism. The Brother said he will come to Church to experience by himself and he did come. He said he wanted to know more about the Church. Wow, what a commitment he had, we hope to meet them this week again and ask them how they felt about it. On the other hand, there were more people coming from Guntur as well and I can see how Vijayawada is growing.

 The highest people coming to the Church from our companionship were about 15 people during the month of June with my previous companion and this time it was about 21 people from Elder Gantner and Johnson. It's amazing to see the hand of the Lord here in Vijayawada, lord is letting the people to come on our way to help them know about the restored gospel.

 We as a Branch also came up with Light the World service project and last week me and my companion went to an orphanage with lots of Children and I saw the love of Christ in them and I enjoyed spending a wonderful and meaningful time with them and I am sure everyone will enjoy it. We hope to have this Activity this coming December 1st. So wherever you are and whichever ward you belong to, go out and serve. You will see the love that you never experienced before.

 When me and Elder Johnson were on Exchange we met one family who gathered almost 10 sisters and they treated us as Pastors and we shared about the god's plan of happiness. What a wonderful opportunity was that. All this happened during the week and I also fell sick on last Monday and Tuesday, later, my companion was sick during the week, we still did our best to go out and serve people. It was an awesome week for me and him.
Hope to have a good week and celebrate light the world with VIJAYAWADA MEMBERS 

#Rock the World and Light 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"

Image
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. 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, ...
