Yo yo yo!

This week was a really good one for us, hope it was for everyone else!! I also hope it wasn't as hot as it is here haha.  In Visak, summer starts now and ends in November, I guess.  Also the A/C in our room is currently broken so night time isn't exactly awesome.  But it's an adventure haha.

This week was not the greatest for missionary work due to "Navy Day," here in Visak haha.  It's strange that they call it Navy Day because the celebration is definitely a week long.  Apparently, once a year, the Indian Navy does a review with routines, lights, colors, fireworks, celebrations, you name it.  This time, however, was special because navies from all around the world came to participated!  Unfortunately, the celebration was held outside of our area, so we were not able to attend (which is a bummer because that would have been an awesome finding opportunity).  Though kilometers away, we witnessed the celebration through sounds and sights of fireworks, it was cool.

Last week I believe I mentioned that we found a "Visak pioneer" who had gone less active and had been praying for an opportunity to take his wife to the temple.  His name is Bharath and he is AWESOME.  We taught him and his wife this week and they are both making considerable progress.  This week, for the first time in forever, they came back to church!!  That was so awesome.  I'm quite fond of them.  In other news, Purushotham was ordained to the office of priest yesterday!!!  So so cool.  Seeing what the gospel does for people is incredible to say the least.  It is seriously such a privilege to be engaged in this work.

In other news, Elder Thambi is being transferred to Gajuwaka tomorrow ):  He will still be in the same zone, though I will miss him being my companion.  I don't know much about my new companion, but we will find out tomorrow!

Until next week!  Keep the faith, y'all.
Elder Tuscano
