Hey Y'all,
This week we were able to see more success, we met with one of our former investigators (Ravi Teja), who Elder Abel and I taught back in May, he has been out of town and is very sick. He has Diabetes and is really taking control of him. He lives in a home thats literally the size of a normal Bathroom, and is cooped up in there all day because of the sickness. We were able to teach him Romans 5, and the purpose of Christ, and got him on a baptismal date on September 4. We also met a Hindu guy named Naresh, who doesn't know anything about Christianity, but is going to the U.S for college. He told us he feels sad a lot and wants to know how to fix that, so we were able to teach him how to pray. Shanthi and her husband came to church on Sunday, so it was great to see them, in church we heard lots of messages about families and strengthening the home, so I hope that was beneficial for them. We taught another guy named Sandeep, who doesn't believe in God(or any God as the Indian people say), and was able to teach him about faith and the Plan of Salvation, we will meet with him next week! Today they are some what celebrating Indian Independence, its kinda weird that they do, because all the people I know arent happy that they are freed from Britain (I know that sounds weird). I have been trying to work on a Christ-like attribute this month, and will be doing one till the end of my mission! The First one is Faith in Jesus Christ, so I suggest everyone works on it, because we all need a little more faith! General Conference is coming up in October and will read a talk everyday from the last General Conference. General Conference is when the Prophet, the 12 Apostles, and the Quorum of the 70 give talks on certain doctrinal topics, other than that its been a pretty good week! https://www.lds.org/
Love,
Elder Magnusson
P.S
Im on a sketchy computer, so Ill send photos next week, hopefully!
