Jonathan said that they will visit The Seven Tombs in Hyderabad on their day off this week.
In case he doesn't get any photos to us, here's one that we found for reference.
This week was pretty plain and
simple, nothing too exciting haha. Unless you think that workin' hard
in 113 degree weather is exciting, that would prove my previous
statement incorrect.
We did a lot of locating
our members this week. It was a difficult task, as our area is HUGE,
but we were able to find a lot of our less actives and simultaneously
become acquainted with greater Hyderabad. We did get lost once though,
and I almost got hit by a bus I think almost once a day this week, but
I'm alive! They should feature me on that show "I Shouldn't be Alive,"
one day.
One cool experience: Elder Larson and
I sometimes think that we're not doing all that much good because so
many people are not keeping their commitments despite our diligent
efforts. Yesterday at fast and testimony meeting we were proved wrong.
One sweet couple that we meet with is well into their sixties. The
wife is the relief society president and her husband has been inactive
for a long time. We go to their home a couple times a week and they
LOVE having us over haha. Every time we visit, we invite the brother to
come to church with us, read his scriptures, pray, etc. He always
commits, but rarely follows through. Yesterday, however, the sister
(her name is Esther Rani) got up and bore her testimony and thanked us
personally for coming to her home because now, after a long time, her
husband is reading his scriptures and praying!! Sometimes our vision
becomes a little foggy, we think that getting them to church is the goal
and there's no other progress. That's not true. Change is often made
in small steps, rather than giant leaps. I gained a firm testimony of
that this week. I love this work. Our efforts are not wasted, how
sweet that is to know.
I hope everyone has an awesome week this week. Keep fresh, stay rad (and cool).
Keep the faith,
Elder Tuscano
