Danger Everywhere

May 30, 2016

Hey Y'all,

Not much happened this week, we had some appointments but a lot of them bunked. We were able to meet with Kranti this week, and taught him the Plan of Salvation. After the first appointment he has been busy lately, but he has shared our message about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ at work, and wants to get his family and his co-workers in on a lesson with us. We taught Brother K about following the Prophet, and the Law of Tithing. His father is a member, in a different city. Bro K takes notes every Sunday about everything he learns, and studies it through out the week, he is very interested in learning more.

There is a lot of ice cream places in Hyderabad and go to this place called Ice stone all the time. Man, after being in Rajahmundry for 6 months, I kinda forgot what Good QUALITY Ice cream taste like. They also have Gelato there, which is fantastic and am sure I'm addicted to it. This Sunday is the 5th Sunday of the month, so in the Hyderabad stake they have the missionaries give talks. My talk was on the Holy Ghost, they told me to prepare a 20 min talk, but ended up talking for only 10 minutes. 

I talked about 4 of the roles that the Holy Spirit plays;

1.Comforter ( In times of sadness)

2.Witness ( testifies of Christ, and helps us know what is true and what is false)

3.Compass (Guides us on what we need to do in life/ decisions we make)

4.Protector ( from physical and spiritual danger)

I wish I was able to give the whole talk instead of give a watered down version of it in church, but it was a great opportunity for me. Last time I jokingly and statistically talked about the traffic here in Hyderabad.  Im not joking now, the traffic is extremely dangerous. The drivers don't care, or watch where you are. Side walks do not exist here. I could be walking on the side walk and have it be 20 feet from the road, and I still have the chances of getting hit. Cars and motorcycles use the sidewalk for some reason. They honk here all the time, which apparently means "get out of my way I'm coming through". I could be walking the direction of traffic and have a bus fly pass me being 12 inches from my body. Man I hope I don't die here. Other than that it's been a pretty good week.

Love,

Elder Magnusson
