Week 74: Merry Christmas to all

Lovely people from around the world, I am honored to be your friend or brother!!! Its amazing to see how the days are running faster than I thought. It is the final Christmas and the round trip back to my home is nearing. What a wonderful moment is for me to cherish here in the beautiful city of Vijayawada, I mean the people are amazing. I have been wonderful how life has been since the time I left home, I am grateful that I made a wonderful decision in life to come on a mission and experience great many things that would never come back. 

Since we had our new building, we were able to have a beautiful Christmas this time and we invited many new people to come to Church and be part of it. They did come and it was happy moments for me and my companion to see them coming. 

During this season of Joy of Savior's birth, I was able to complete the Book of Mormon and it has increased my testimony on that it is true and it is the fullness of Gospel and helps us to continue in the covenant path.

Excited for a new beginning, a new start for the year 2019. Many things to do in the last 7months of my mission in IBM. Hope I will be able to see many sweet experience that will be added in my heart. 

 Merry Christmas to everyone, may this season of joy bring you happiness in you and in your family. Love you all. 

Love,

Elder Ravindran

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.
