What's up, y'all?  

This week was pretty crazy, but super rad!  A lot of crazy stuff is happening in our mission, just in the sense that we are losing a lot more missionaries than we are gaining them!  A lot of missionaries are SUPPOSED to be coming, but they're having trouble obtaining visas (what's new, right?).  This imbalance has caused some change ups in our zone.  For example, I'M BACK WITH ELDER JENSEN!!!  At least temporarily haha, until we get things figured out.  He came to Indiranagar with me this past week!  So I'm like half zone leader half trainer now haha.  It's good to be back with him, I'm excited.  He came with me because his previous companion went home to go to school.  Elder Shrestha went to Lingarajpuram (a different area in our zone) to be with Elder Samson because Elder Samson's previous companion went home due to jaundice.  But that's the current state of things for now haha.

Another highlight this week was changing things up from our normal missionary routine!  For at least a couple hours haha.  Elder Jensen and I helped a sister in our ward repaint her home!  She was really appreciative of our help.  That was fun haha, I will send a picture!

I think that's it really.  Oh!  This week we will be having Mission Leadership Council with President Funk!  In addition, President Funk will be sitting in on our weekly planning session this week......pray for us!

Have a solid week everyone, keep the faith!
