Tuesday, we had a standard district meeting and correlation. Nothing thrilling.
Wednesday,
we met with Pavani, who was on date for Sunday. She is still doing
well! Then, we went down to Madhurawada and refound a couple families we
hadn't met with in a month!
Thursday, we had a huge service project in the morning. It was supposed to start at 8, and finish at 1. No, it started at 9:30,
and we didn't start proselyting until 6. For that, we went to an old
folk's home. The warning we got didn't help- "Don't hesitate when you
see their faces, just smile and make them smile." Cheering, right?
Fortunately, we only had a couple of weird moments. For the service, we
cleaned everything. I first weeded a flowerbed, then cleaned ceiling
fans, but other elders mopped, painted, etc. There was a lot to do! At
night, we managed to meet with a recent convert family, but that was
it.
Friday was a lot more exciting. We split
up with the zone leaders in the morning to do two interviews in two
different places at once. Pavani, our investigator, passed her
interview! Then, we went out to a pastor. We didn't know he was one at
the time, but we learned fairly quickly. He loved to debate everything.
We had to explain everything over his frequent interruptions. In the
end, we committed him to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. He
told us he'd read it in just 3 days. Good luck!
Saturday was the fun one. The mission president called in the morning, and told us that he was coming in 30 minutes.
After half an hour of frenzied cleaning, he arrived, gave us the
transfer news, and dropped off a new elder, Elder Cundick. I am going to
Bangalore for my last 3 weeks, and am leaving tomorrow morning. My
companion will be Elder Magnusson, from Georgia. Anyway, we met with
Pavani again, then a couple of new investigators.
Sunday
was mostly just thrilling because Pavani got baptized! That is big
news. She's been investigating for over a year! That was about all that
happened, though.
