Week 4 in India

Hello family and friends! I'm going to keep 
this week short cause we are celebrating the 4th of July early!  So we are going to head out to get some burgers and fries!!  We did not find any new investigators this week... and Gaurav postponed his baptism literally the day that he was supposed to get baptized. That was super frustrating, but as a missionary I've learned that 1. we cannot force anyone and 2. its all on the Lords time.  I have no doubt that this is all part of the Lords plan for Gaurav.  I would just ask that you keep him in your prayers again this week!!  This week was a little slow, and not a lot happened.  It rained 3 days and then was just hot the rest of the week.  I experienced lots of new things, and was able to teach some pretty awesome lessons to some members and investigators.  I love it here!  I love auto rides, I love teaching the gospel and I love being a missionary.  It has been so fun, and I am learning so much!!  

Highlights: 

-New Mission President arrived.  President Hansen.

-Got my first haircut in India... totally botched!!

-Had cereal without milk all week:) not fun.  

-Had 3 rain storms this week... didnt stay inside for any of them

-Put our investigator Ravender on date for August 11th

Thought of the week... I read Mosiah 23:7 this week. The people wanted to make Alma King in this chapter, but he was not made king!  An important lesson of how we do not need to have one person above the rest.  We are all equal, and are all important to the Lord!!  Just because I am serving a mission does not make me better than those who are not. Just because President Nelson is our prophet doesnt make him better than everyone else.  Heavenly Father has a plan for all of his children, and each one of his children is of equal importance to him!  I want you all to know that I love you all so much, and grateful for the examples you are to me. I love my savior Jesus Christ, and I love being here in India! I hope you all have a wonderful week!
