Happy Holi!

Wassup everybody?

Happy Holi!!!  The festival of colors is here!!!  Everywhere we go we see people COVERED in color powder haha it's crazy.  Some people don't even look like humans because of how colored they are.  It's crazy but a lot of fun.  We are just hoping for the best every time we go out haha (missionaries are sort of a walking target with our white shirts and ties and everything, we're sort of an enticing spectacle in the midst of this chaos of color).

Cool experience of the week: so last week I mentioned Mayur, right? He's the investigator that found the church through the internet, walked into fast and testimony meeting, and bore his testimony that he strongly feels he's found the truth.  I may have failed to mention, however, brother Venkat from Hyderabad--another first-timer that walked in along with Mayur.  So on Tuesday we met with these two brothers and taught them the Restoration.  They loved it.  At the end of the lesson they both said, "This church is true."  We met with them again on Saturday and they both agreed to prepare for baptism later this month!!  Then came Sunday.  Sacrament meeting started--no sign of Venkat or Mayur.  We were pretty discouraged because the day prior they had committed to be baptized!  We prayed that somehow these brothers would make it to church.  Sacrament is passed, the doors
open, and BOOM!  Mayur and Venkat walk in and what else?  Venkat brought his friend with him!!  So rad.  The gospel changes people. Some rapidly, some not so rapidly, but whatever the speed, the gospel changes us.  I'm a witness.

 I hope everyone has a good week and happy Holi!!!
