Hello everyone!
First bit of happy news... the Sister Missionary from Italy is coming next transfer! I'm excited to meet her and the many other sisters who are coming in two weeks. (there are supposed to be a whole lot of them from all over the US and the world) Also I learned how to make non bread and now it is delicious with hummus (yes sister dearest, I have changed a lot since I started my mission). Indian food is... interesting... not many ingredients and some of them are only there to add color to your food?! Meh, it's the best vegetarian that I've ever tasted.
We're getting a bunch of people here now as the weather warms up (and I'm pretty certain that as the weather warms up that the mood of the people goes up as well). We're still searching for that Indian family from Bangalore that Sister Sundaram wants to baptize before her mission is gone. I know that we'll find them.... it may be our last day together, but I know that God will definitely provide. Trusting in him is rather difficult sometimes, but in all honesty there is nothing in this world that we do on our own steam... If God isn't in it, then in the end it doesn't succeed, especially in missionary work. We can’t convince anyone... we can only inform and invite the Spirit to come and testify of what we are saying. You can say something in a language you've forgotten, or you can say something you didn't know in a language you've spoken all your life but God will provide. (His timing, however is definitely not what we would expect)
As for our investigators, one was baptized last week and one's being baptized next week! Yay for weird member present lessons over the phone... Her friend may be inactive, but her friend is one of the most supportive people in all the changes she's made in her life... and she's going to be an awesome member missionary as well. Life is pretty good, and missionary work makes it seem even better. I hope that our India people pick up tomorrow... they are such sweethearts.
Have a wonderful day!
