Hey Y'all,
This week wasn't that great, it wasn't a hard week by any means, but not much progression happened with our investigators. We were able to have good lessons with our less actives though. None of our investigators came to church, but there was a man who is from Vizak that was there. He will be in Hyderabad for 2 years, so we got his info and brought him to gospel principles where we taught missionary work. The last hour of the church was very interesting, because everyone was combined and the stake presidency was there. They wanted to discuss some of the problems happening in the stake, such as the gossip and not keeping the church clean enough, now those are 2 cultural characteristics I have learned about this country, but not a place to have a potential investigator. He left during the middle of the meeting.
We located many less active homes this week so that was great, and taught many awesome lessons where we were able to get people to open up an share their testimony. We also had a lesson about 1 Nephi 17, where Nephi is commanded to build a ship, and so for the activity we had the family (Chilpigiri family) build a boat out of paper, I sent it in a pic, and you can see that only one person did so successfully. We went to a members house and when we went inside the subdivision Elder Shuman and I were blown away. It was the most westernized place I've seen since being in The U.S. The subdivision almost looked like the from of Sterling on the Lake where they built the smaller sized homes. The homes still weren't as big, or as nice, but dang I was surprised! She also fed us Arabian desserts, because he husband goes there for work sometimes. And that was very good! Indian sweets are very weird and not very good, they are very dry, and crappy. Yesterday we went to a hospital to give a blessing to one of our members father. And again, it was crazy westernized! It was huge! I have been in India for quite a while considering I got excited about a hospital. Other than that it was an interesting week, here in Hyderabad India.
As I have read some of my friends mission emails, I have learned they get transferred much more often than I do, the way we get to other areas in the mission is by plane. So im gonna assume thats why. This is week 5 out of 6 in the transfer and am feeling like Ill be transferred, which is good because I've been here since May.
Love,
Elder Magnusson
