Week 83 & 84: "Press forward in the work of the Lord"

25 Feb 2019

Hello Everyone!!!!! 

Sorry I couldn't email yesterday because the email wasn't working and today we got opportunity to mail our families and friends. Also I waited for my new companion and his name is Elder Vuppada... Whoa yes I always desired to serve along with him in Vijayawada and he was only 3 days as my companion but now its gonna be for a transfer and he is also finishing his mission very soon, haha this is 4th missionary whom I am gonna send home and be his last companion on mission. Its wonderful and I can see my moments coming to an end, well not so fast but yeah its on the way. 

Alright now I am finally back in Tiruppur after a week of travelling and we got people to work with and help them to know about the Gospel in their life. I have been pondering how is it to hold unto the Iron Rod i.e., the Scriptures, I have been lately missing it a lot and how it is without the Scripture to walk on the covenant path. It is very necessary in our life to read scriptures in order to face all the trails like the Dark smoke in the covenant path which tempts us to leave the path and fall afar. I testify that the only way to hold on and walk in the covenant path is by studying and applying the Scriptures and knowing more about the Savior Jesus Christ and his Infinite Atonement for you and me in this life. I know it brings great hope in whatever aspect of life you are in. The Savior still beckons us to come back and hold firm on the Iron Rod. 

I also met my Young men who is now serving with me in the same Zone, Elder Prabhudas, I felt joy and happiness when I saw him, truly the mission helps us to build the relationship which I already had with him and he has grown so much in the Gospel. I am excited to work with him and learn from him.

Hello all :) I am happy being here in on mission and its wonderful to be around hanging and learning about the people and their conversion story. One family moved here long ago and was missing the Church and Sacrament a lot, now that they have the home group and they have been blessed to experience those sacred moments. Now they feel very happy and close to the savior. 

Last week we were planning to work with the people to help them progress in learning more about the Savior, I am happy that I have Elder Vuppada with me now to enjoy his last days in Tiruppur. 
I am excited to the new week, hope to have a good one. 
Its time for Easter :) and I am excited to learn something new this time.

Love you all dearly, take care and rock the world  

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. 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...

Hey everybody how are you all and once again I'm excited to write to you all!. I see that most of you have had a wonderful YSA conference held in Bangalore. Good job Bangalore!!!!! I really missed this YSA conference and I always wanted to be in the committee to help and support the team but based on the feedback you have rocked it!!!!! I love you guys, you did it!. I heard that my brother danced!! HAHA!!! I received few pics from him and you all look so wonderful. 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, ...
