Hello family and friends!! The weeks are starting to go by super fast, and I sometimes feel like I dont have enough time to write and give you all updates. This week was super, super hard. Im not going to try to sugar coat it... It just sucked. We have not heard from Gaurav in a week and that has been super hard. He is so ready, and he has a very strong desire to be baptized. He just cant get work off, and he thinks that God is doing this to him. He needs some prayers sent his way, so please keep his name in your prayers. We got a referral from other missionaries in our zone about a man named Solomon from Nigeria. We met him on Saturday and he is actually the greatest person I've met so far on my mission. He understood what we were teaching and he asked so many good questions that kept us on our feet. I loved this experience, and wish every investigator could be like him haha! He is great! That pretty much sums up the missionary part of the week...The frustration from the week built up bad on Thursday and so God gave us a MASSIVE rain storm. Me and Elder Cleverley were the only ones to go out in it, and it was the best decision ever. All the stress and frustration was gone just like that as we walked and ran around like kids in two feet of water in the middle of the road. I learned something from this experience and that is what I want to share for my little spiritual message I do every week... but first let me talk about one more thing that happened...We got to watch the WORLD CUP! That was just amazing... I got to watch the world cup in India while being a missionary... hahaha! We had an appointment with a less active and we kinda mentioned that the world cup was on and she turned it on and fed us and let us watch it!!!
Ok back to the rain storm. WE had a terrible week. WE prayed that God would help us out. God answered our prayers with a rain storm!! We knew it was the answer to our prayers and so we went outside. God does not always answer prayers how we want. I wanted all the pain and frustration to be taken away with a baptism, or with a dinner appointment, or with something just amazing... Well that will not always happen, but GOD WILL ALWAYS ANSWER OUR PRAYERS. He may give us a rain storm, or he may give us something amazing... it doesnt matter what it is... he will always answer! I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I am so grateful for him and his love that he shows to me and every one of his children! I love being a missionary and I love being in India... even on the crappy days!!! Well that is all I have time for this week!! I love you all and hope you have an amazing week! Keep going! Keep having faith in the Lord and he will always help you!! LOVE YOU ALL!
