Hello everyone!!! Ap kaise ho!!! ( How are you)? Well this week was good and consisted of lots of change. I got a call from the AP's saying that I am now Elder Saka's companion and I am switching areas from Munirka to Vasant Vihar. I am in the same apartment, but just in a different room now. Well I don't really know about the investigators that Elder Saka has in Vasant Vihar, but I will meet with them this week and get to know them. This week was full of new things and firsts. New companion, new area, new investigators, new district and my first time watching an american missionary go home. It was a fun, and sad week as we all spent time with Elder Webster before he left. I am super excited to be with Elder Saka and to be in a new area that will bring new challenges, experiences and struggles. There was not a lot of stuff that happened this week, and not a lot to update you all on investigator wise. I am doing really good and love being a missionary here in India. I will have a better weekly update next week as I dive into my new area and begin to meet and teach people. I hope you all have an amazing week, and just know i love you and pray for each one of you daily!! Good luck too all of you who have school :)
Spiritual thought:
People will often ask us questions that we think we can not answer. Questions pertaining to why we do certain things. Things like the word of wisdom, commandments, sabbath day and more. They state an argument that on the surface sounds pretty good and usually throws us off guard and into this thought that we do not have an answer to counter their question or argument. I was sitting in my new ward this week and a young women gave a great talk on the word of wisdom. She shared an experience with a friend of hers who asked her a question that threw her off guard and made her think she couldn't respond or give a good answer back. She thought for a moment and then an answer came into her head. The answer she gave brothers and sisters should be our answer every single time that we are hit with these questions. That answer is, " I love my Heavenly Father. He has commanded me to do it... I WILL BE OBEDIENT"!! It is my testimony that I want to end this thought with that God gives us these things to do and follow because he knows whats best for us and he knows what will keep us physically and spiritually safe. We may not always understand or know why we need to do them, but when we truly love our Heavenly Father we will always answer with, " I love my Heavenly Father. He has commanded me to do it... I WILL BE OBEDIENT"! I love my Heavenly Father. I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I love this church and I love being a missionary!! It is truly a blessing and a privilege!
