VENKAT'S BAPTISM!!!!

Hello hello y'all!  I hope everyone had a great week.  We certainly did.

What made this week especially great was Venkat's baptism.  His service, like Mayur's last week, was before church so attendance was not so heavy, HOWEVER, the Spirit filled the room and it was just so peaceful.  President Mortensen baptized Venkat and it was my privilege to introduce Venkat at the service.  Venkat is originally from Hyderabad and is currently staying in Bangalore for a work-related training  His wife and three year old daughter stay in Hyderabad.  His wife has been awesome and so supportive of Venkat and his desire to follow the Savior.  I think the coolest part about Venkat's baptism service was that we were able to Skype his wife and daughter in so that they could watch the service!  We had to get permission from the Area presidency to do so but, since we're all about families, they gave the okay haha.  His family loved it.  Each time someone commented on how faithful and humble Venkat is or encouraged him in some way, his wife lit up and smiled from ear to ear.  It was so great.  An important side note is that Venkat and his wife became Christians about four or five years ago, previously they were Hindus.  It is so cool to see the process of how God leads His children to the truth.  Venkat truly does have the faith of a child and is such a great example to me.

On another note: remember Vishnu the missionary from last week?  His wife and sister-in-law are preparing to be baptized on Easter Sunday!!  AND Vishnu blessed his baby boy in sacrament meeting yesterday.  Please pray for Vishnu's family as they prepare to follow the Savior and make steps toward becoming an eternal family!!

I hope everyone has a great week.

Keep the faith,

Elder Tuscano
