Elder Prabhu Ravindran - India Bangalore Mission

Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Hey Everyone my heart is filled with joy and gladness for the past 24 months and I am grateful to the lord that I made it with hope to be able to call as "Returned Missionary" Its only a title but there is more to it. These past two years I have learnt the greatest lessons which I could have never earned anywhere. India Bengaluru Mission has taught me so many life saving lessons that helps me to be strong all the time and a hope that I will be able to Endure pressing forward in the beautiful and colorful gospel of Jesus Christ. More than that it was a lesson from the Savior and his Infinite Atonement which helped me to Endure in the Journey towards the next Adventure.   Being a Member I did see there was a light in it and I choose to take that light in missionary work and share with everyone as much as possible, I was a lord's servant in helping the people to come unto Christ and witnessed his hands in many life. No words can I express more than the d...

Dear Everybody!!!!  I got to tell you all one thing, My days are coming to an end on mission and I am super excited to start the real journey of life. Whatever may happen or whatever may not happen, I know through the grace and mercy of the lord I can endure it well as it had happened with Joseph Smith in the prison, the lord said "If thou Endure it well" Those are the moments when I realize the Pre-mortal time, thinking I agreed all and now I am easily giving up in everything. I said lord I will go and be tested and lot of times I failed however there is always the infinite love showered to all of us by the Savior Jesus Christ, through his infinite atonement and love we can Endure it well.       Going back and rewinding the beautiful moments happened in the last 2 years brings me  sweet tears in my heart and now I can say that truly, I made a wisest decision in my life to come on mission and serve as Elder Ravindran 2.0 So can you Endure ...

Hey everybody!!!  Wow my time on mission is nearing and I have less than a month, I cannot believe it but I have to haha alright I wanted to share something I have witnessed the hand of the lord, of-course during the past 23 months I have witnessed many but this one is new and its all the way from Vijayawada, So the other day I received a message from Elder Karra who is now serving in Vijayawada who replaced me when I left the place in the beginning of the year 2019, while in the month of Nov-Dec 2018 we met a family named Brother Raju and Sister Prasuna with 3 children, Me and Elder Loveridge found them on street finding. We started to teach about God's plan on the way till Restoration of the Gospel. However my time in Vijayawada was done and then it was taken care by the next missionaries in that area. Now as 7 months passed Elder Karra sent me a message that Brother Raju is on date and ready to make a covenant as on July 14. When I heard this I felt great joy in my he...

Hello Everybody!!!! Sorry I was not able to email for the past week. I got sick at the last days of mission haha I never expected it would come to me at this time and yes here it is. The temperature went up to 104 degree viral fever, I couldn't anything and all the time I was at bed rest. Somehow I was able to overcome it, during that moment I felt that its only for temporary and wont last for long. I was very low but however all the prayers and support from my fellow missionaries gave me strength to come back. I can't believe its coming to an end. Lots of memories to think about.  Best thing that happened in the mission was to see these two wonderful family being sealed for eternity, Brother Prabhu and Brother Babu families are very dear to me and the missionaries who taught them a year and half back have been sealed wow!!! I can see how much blessings they will receive as they travel in the covenant path.    One thing I learnt during the week was about the...

Hey everyone out there this is Elder Ravindran 2.0 I would say that this is the best transfer call ever although every time was special but this is a desire of my heart. I have been called to serve in Chennai Branch for the first and last transfer of my mission. Its gonna be an awesome journey and wonderful experience to grasp while crossing the finish line. I am thrilled and excited to serve in the Chennai Soil. I am not worried about the weather, that is not gonna stop me from working. Elder Peters will be my last companion on mission. I am happy that the lord has provided me a last chance to serve in the best area. There is a saying that the last performance will always be the best. I know for sure it is gonna be the best month of my mission. So time ticks and I got about 37 days to return home!!!! Chennai here I come. Now I would love to end up by sharing my 14 months experience in the Coimbatore Zone and a greater lesson I learnt while I was serving here. This is indeed a dea...

Hello everybody!!!! sorry I wasn't able to email you all last week. So many things happened, one stands the most high - Tirupur home group is now a Branch!!! yeah finally the Church is growing too fast in Tirupur. The missionaries in Tirupur also had 4 more Baptism last week. They are the ones whom me, Elder Yadav and Vuppada taught in the past 5 months. Really it was amazing to see them make a covenant with the lord. Next week they will be confirmed a member in the lord's kingdom. As they started this beautiful journey in the covenant path, we too are in the same path that leads to the father in heaven, we all agreed to come here and be tested. Its wonderful to see how the lord's plan has been implemented so far. As we journey in the path, we all focus of enduring till the end of our life on earth. I am pleased with the plan of Salvation the lord has provided and I always love to compare it with the "Tree of Life". It is very clear as we stand on the path feasti...

Hello everybody!!!!  Its been a wonderful week, sorry that I couldn't click any pics :( We had our last zone conference with President Mortensen in Coimbatore and it was a wonderful moment with him. Last moments are always the best moments.  So today I wanted to stand as a witness about the truths that has been restored in this beautiful earth. Yes there are many things that has been restored and I remember last year when Sister Nelson spoke to us during a special conference with the Prophet of the lord. That day she shared with us about Teach the truths which the world doesn't know off. Out of everything I learnt a little more of the Temples which are present even at this very moment. That God really loves us and wants to give in everything for us. As I read from the Bible there were temples in old and new testament and after decades it was lost or in other words the priesthood to perform those sacred ordinance was taken away, with that lost pieces we were not able to ...
