meeting Elder Quentin Cook
with Hari at the Kerala restaurant
instead of "disabled" they say "differently abled" in India
Namaskaram, y'all, what's happening?
This week I will just jump right into it haha:
Last
Sunday we had a brother in his thirties walk into church. He stayed
for all three meetings which kinda surprised us. As we talked with him,
we learned that he is a chauffeur for the Marriott hotel here in
Whitefield. He passed by our church almost everyday on his way to work
and finally decided to come in and see what it's all about. He is very
interested to learn more about the new things we discussed at church.
What also surprised us were the insightful comments he made in both the Sunday
school and elders quorum classes. He invited us to his home this week,
so we went! He lives in very humble circumstances with his cute family
of ten (they are sort of a joint family haha, I'm still trying to
figure out who is who exactly, but they're not all his immediate
family). We taught them the message of the Restoration and they were
all so eager to learn more, it was amazing. When I say "we taught," I
mean that my companions taught them in Tamil and I played
with/entertained the two children in the home--both of whom are
handicapped/mentally challenged, it was so fun to play with them and
show them pictures of Jesus and try to help them understand who God is
haha. I wish I had taken a photo or two but I will be sure to do so
this week.
Also, we have an investigator from
Kerala (a state on the southwestern coast where we do not have
missionaries) named Hari. HARI IS SO SWEET. He works for Intel. I
told him that I always wanted to try Kerala food and so he took us to
this random restaurant about an hour and a half away (yes, that's how
big our area is) and the food was SO good. THE RICE GRAINS WERE
MONSTROUS haha I have never seen rice that big in my life. It tasted a
lot like Thai food because they use a lot of coconut milk and various
curry powders (i.e. red curry powder). Anyway. Good week this week.
Hope everyone has a good week.
Keep the faith,
Elder Tuscano
