Vocab

August 8, 2016

Hey Y'all,
This week wasn't as successful as last week, we were able to only get few lessons in with our investigators, and sadly couldn't see all of them. None of them came to church yesterday so that sucked. We taught David, and got him on a more firmer baptismal date, of September 4. A member named Shiva Rama Krishna (yes he was previously hindu, as you can tell by the name) to fellowship him. We also got 2 new investigators, Shanti and her husband (I forgot his name), who were previously Hindu also. I have been working on Christ-like attributes, and have decided to work on one each month till I go home. This month I am working on "Faith in Christ". A building burned up this week, but they build them with cement so it didn't burn down. We visited with our less active members, but they still didn't come to church yesterday, hopefully this next week we'll have better luck. Glad to hear Mariah Lutz is getting baptized! So happy to hear that, if anyone has her email please send it to me! Other than that it was a normal week down here in Hyderabad India! Also Happy Birthday to my Bro Tylan, and sis Melissa, and my nephew Alden! 
Love,
Elder Magnusson
