Tri-Comp

Hey y'all,

This week we weren't doing to well. We weren't able to get many lessons in to FRRO (Forieng Registration) and Zone training this week. Elder Kitsell from England was in Rajahmundry and his 6 month visa is expiring, so he came to Hyderabad to register, and try to extend the visa. He also is trying to get an OCI, his great grand father is from India. SO he is with Elder Shuman and I. Its been interesting teaching lessons, and taking auto rides with a "third wheel". President Mortenson is coming this Friday, so we'll get to meet him. I finally did another prank this week that I havent done in a long time. We (my comps and I) froze Elder Conrad's name tag, he didnt even notice till that night when we told him what we did. He tells us he has a good poker face, so Im not wuite sure if he noticed or not. I mean we stuck the name tag right by him, but he never knew.

Elder Shuman's sickness is better, but he is still having a hard time eating the food. I gave him some of my Easy Mac (yes I humbled myself enough to let him have my Easy Mac) so he could have something that isn't nasty I mean "foreign". The Chintha Family dropped us and so did Annie Thomas, she gave the Book of Mormon back and told me to delete her number from my contacts. It was really weird, because we wanted to know what happened because our first lesson was great with her. We met a guy named Prince, it was weird meeting him because he lived in India till he was 12, then became an American citizen since then, and came to India to live because its cheap. He has been here for 4 years, so he was amazed to hear American accents and pronounciations. He's from Virginia (the rest of his family still resides there). I asked him if he knew where Stafford County was (where I use to live) and said he did. He said he has met with us in the U.S but was a little confused because he thought we were Jehovah Witnesses. He couldn't remember exactly who his family and him met with. He was completely drunk when we met him, he lives in a little shack looking thing with really nice stuff. His parents pay for everything, so he lives in Inida, with an American salary. He actually works for AT&T, and uses that money he makes to buy beer. He is an interesting guy, but has a lot of questions about the gospel. Its so nice to teach someone that I can talk normally to, and not have to break my English. Plus I understand eveything he is saying. We also met with Deepak and had an awesome lesson with him, he seems to progress really well even though he "believes in all Gods" (a lot of the Hindu people say that).  Other than that thats how my week went!

Love,

Elder Magnusson
