Elder Raju and I with some other elders in our zone and also Sam, a
young man who comes on exchange with us every day because he's awesome.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo, this past week!
Haha we didn't
do much to celebrate other than the fact that WE WENT TO TACO BELL. I
am seriously so stoked that they have a Taco Bell so close to us, it's
been great. It tastes really really close to the Taco Bell back home.
Key words: really really close haha, but something is better than
nothing.
So unfortunate news this week: a youth age sister that we were teaching was scheduled and set to be baptized this past Sunday,
but unfortunately she had to return to her hostel outside of Bangalore
in order to commence her final year of college (important info: a
"hostel" in India is basically like a dormitory where people stay while
they study at the school, college, or institution they're attending).
So that was sad, but she is faithful and loves the gospel and we have no
doubt that she will be baptized when she comes back.
Good
news: when one door closes, the Lord opens another. We visited the
family of Kartheek, a young man from our ward who is currently serving
in the India New Delhi mission. While visiting his family this past
week, we were introduced to his younger sister, Rani. Rani is staying
with her family here in Bangalore because she is on holiday from her
school (fun fact: Rani just returned from her hostel. How were
we introduced to Rani? We walked into their home and Kartheek's other
sister, Maheshwari, said to us, "Elders, all are members in our family
except my sister [Rani]. She wants to join our church." We turned to
Rani and asked her if that was true to which she responded with a
strong, affirmative head-nod. She is set to be baptized in a couple of
weeks here. She's solid, she reads the Book of Mormon and prays with
her family daily. She speaks limited English but her commitment to
follow the Savior speaks volumes. We are excited for her.
I hope everyone has a great week, keep the faith!
