Had another great week this week! It is such a blessing to have my companion back! We have been working really hard this week and are seeing many miracles! One huge miracle we saw this week was Sunil!! Sunil is the husband of Uma our recent convert and has been coming to church with his wife and daughter for the past year. He is so awesome and we are really close with them, but for some reason he never wanted to talk about baptism and whenever we tried to bring it up

him and his family would tell us that he isn't ready yet and we can't force him. Well just 5 days ago as we were talking to Uma on the phone she told us that "uncle" wants to get baptized!! We were so excited! We went by that night and because of his great doctrinal knowledge and dedicated church attendance felt prompted to set a baptismal date for that Saturday! The baptism was so awesome and life is just so good!! We now have helped them set a new goal of going to the temple as a family to be seal for time and all eternity. 

We recently found a family that is super keen for the gospel. They came to church yesterday after getting invited by our recent converts family. We hit it off right away and they invited us to a family get together for the son's birthday last night. We were really busy with planning, call-ins, and so forth, but we went and had the opportunity to share about Jesus Christ and The Plan of Salvation to the entire extended family who came! Turns out most of them are already Christian they want us to come by their house also to share about the church! All together we got 11 different numbers, and we are excited as it was a great start to the work ahead of us next transfer and in the upcoming months.

Yesterday in church we had 3 of our recent converts(Sonu, Josefa, and Timoci) receive the Aaronic Priesthood. We also got to go to the temple with 3 recent converts this past week. It is such a good feeling when seeing these new converts moving forward and working towards new goals after their baptisms.

We went to the Temple this week with our recent converts Sonu, Anjana, and Tina because it was their first time going inside! It was such a cool experience. Because of a shortage of men with the Priesthood I baptized 6 people in a row doing 10+ names each, and by the time I was done my arm was super tired haha! 

I love this quote from President Nelson's talk in the Sunday morning session of General Conference. 

"Nothing opens the heavens quite like the combination of increased purity, exact obedience, earnest seeking, daily feasting on the words of Christ in the Book of Mormon, and regular time committed to temple and family history work."

I testify that this is true! I wrote up these 5 things on the whiteboard in our flat and I know that this really works, as we have seen the heavens open and blessing rain down in the form of revelation and many other blessings. 

Life is good!! I love you all! Have a great week!
