Hello one hello all!!

This week was fantastic.  We seriously have the most AWESOME investigators right now.  They make and keep their commitments, they're really engaged and eager to learn more about the Gospel, and their ages range from thirteen to forty-six or so haha.  A good number of them are making confident strides toward baptism and I couldn't be more excited.

In fact, a highlight from this week stems from our efforts to set a baptism date.  I guess monsoon season came a little early to Bangalore this year (or at least a shadow of what is to come) and on Wednesday night it was absolutely pouring.  Honestly, the streets went from being dry to standing water in a matter of minutes.  We had an appointment scheduled for that night in which we were planning to extend a baptism date.  We contemplated the distant cycle ride and the inevitability that we would be sopping wet were we to leave at that time.  But no sooner did we all receive the confirmation: DO IT FOR THE DATE!  Off we went, cycling like lightning through the pouring rain and to our great joy we set a baptism date for our young investigator, Gowtham (I'll be sure to send a picture), for this coming Sunday.  We are pumped.

Diligence despite circumstances brings blessings, that is what I learned this week.

I hope everyone had an awesome week, keep the faith and stay rad!
