Dear Families and friends,

Thank you for your love and support. I really miss you all for this Christmas season ( this is my first Christmas that I wouldn't be with neither of my families little sad).

This week was wonderful because I experienced sadness and joy. Sadness because out teaching river was little dried.  Joy because now our teaching river is batter.

We found two family the first family is amazing family. Because their life story is amazing and through God's help they were alive.

I want you to think of God hand in your life When you read this stories and How much you should be grateful for the blessings in your life?

Massey Family
They have 9 people in their family and only two people work in that family. they have a house. in that family a persons' name Rohit. One day he was attacked by some people. He almost died and some how he was amazingly brought back to life. That moment lead that Family to Christianity. when we found that family I thanked God four leading us to this family. They love the Gospel now they will be baptized (December 25).
When I heard this story I thought to my self God save Rohit's life so his family can hear the Gospel Of Jesus Christ.

The Second story is a new family we found this through Referrals. This family name is Karin family. they have 7 members in their family and sister. Karin's husband had past-away and she has been taking care of them. They are really a poor family. When I heard about them it reminded me of my childhood days and made me cry. we invited them to be baptized in Jan. First. When I heard this stories made me to be grateful for the things in my life. I love this Gospel because it changes others life.

Mom I talked to Brother Slater. yes he very far away from me But it's OK I was happy I get to talk to him.

Love all,
 
Elder. Aruldoss

Dear family of Elder Aruldoss,

Elder Aruldoss is a fine missionary.  As an obedient missionary he is a good example to his companion.  President Funk and I had the opportunity to be with him during our recent Zone Conference in Visakhapatnam.  He bore his testimony and said, “I know the Savior lives.  When we trust him he will guide us.  The work we are doing for him is his work.  I am grateful for the scriptures.  I have learned God’s love.  I know this is the only true Church.”

I have attached some pictures and the Christmas message we gave to our missionaries.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Love,

Sister Funk

Thank you for the emails.  I love reading them each week.  

 

This week was awesome.  My new companion and i baptized a part member.  It was such a great experence.  We are really working hard in our area.  I love the missionary work.  So we are currently teaching a family and they all speak english.  So we did everything that we could to invite them to church and even we took our branch president with us to talk to him.  We had a nice conversion with him.  This family said that it is hard to come to church in the afternoon and our church in is in the afternoon.  so they will come to church srarting next year.  From next month church will be in the morning  and i am excited.  I dont know why?

 

On last wednesday, my comapanion and i went on a split. so i took one member with me to his house to teach his parents.  So when i went to his house, i saw there were about 16 people who were sitting in the house and they all relatives to this member.  The BAD NEWS WAS NO ONE SPOKE ENGLISH!!!!!  However, i did not miss the opportunity and most of the people had Word of Wisdom problem.  SO I DECIEDED TO TEACH THEM THIS COMMANDMENTS!!  It was such a good lesson and i loved each one of them in that house.  They took my invitation to follow this commandments.  It was a great experence.  I felt like a PASTER,  teaches this huge croud. 

 

I am excited to talk to all of you.  Abbey, sorry about that email.  I still love very much. 

 

Hey, mom can you please send me some family pictures.  Maybe from Aaron's weding.  Please mom. I have no pictures of our family and everyone  is asking me about family and want to see the pictures.

 

I love you mom and dad and all the Allred kids.

Elder Aruldoss.

Dear Family and Friends

How are you all? I'm doing amazing. now I'm learn a lots of things. I am in New area and it is cool it see different kinds of people and enjoying every things.

First of all I want to thank My Heavenly Father for giving me this chance to serve Him. I thought I will be in Pitham Pura for 6 to 9 months I’m Happy I am in Dwarka, not that I don’t like Pitham Pura. I love that place I don’t know why I feel our members need more help in Dwarka.

MY first three months I struggled to understand and work and learn, but now I’m learning fast and doing the things with help of the spirit. I love every second of it.

My companion and I working heard and thinking more about out members and Investigators. How we can help them and what we need to study for next lessons.

My companion is amazing. Love him a lot. Our companionship study is amazing and helping each others everyday.

In our church we say and we believe and some of us experience about how serving mission will and can bless our live and our family life. I am experiencing the blessing in my family at Home. Last few months I had been thinking about I should have given a Book of Mormon to my dad and I was felt really sad because I had missed the opportunity. The last letter my mom said he has been reading the book of Mormon everyday. It made me so happy.

Another experiance was we had spicallize training. we talked about how important is the book of mormon and what is the rool of that book in our life and in our invistigators' life. I had learned many things and now I am regreading the times that did not read the book of mormon. I don't konw how many people's life I had impicted and changed but I had learn to change my life with the book of mormon. I had learned The Gospel can change others life for the better.

Thank you for the love and support and I want to challenge you all to read the book of mormon everyday it will give you strength.

Thank you so much mom for giving all the informations in our family and friends. Our Distreict Conferandce is this week as a missionary we have alot of things to do like PICKING UP our (L.A and R.C)

Love you all

Hi my family,

 

I love to read the letter from you.  I am glad that you are doing well.  This week was really good. This one family who we were trying to get them to church for several weeks and they FINALLY came to church this week.  We are expecting many  baptism's this month.  It is really hard to find a family who speaks English and even when we find them they think that they know everything.
 

I do want to tell you one story.  This week a man named Mahash who found us instead of we finding him.  So we got out of the Auto in a busstand and there were like at least 1000 people are roaming around here and there.  So this traffic police who works here is our friend.  So right after i got out of the auto this police came to me and shoke my hands and said  "PRAISE THE LORD" they tell this all the time to us.   I like it!!!  But i dont tell them back anything, i simply tell them Hi, how are you?... Anyway, we were standing and waiting for our bus.  This one man came up to us and asked us about us and we told him about us.  He speaks good english.  we ha a brief conversation with him.  The next day we were able to meet him again and to teach him.  So I asked him why is came and talk to us.  He did not know who we were and when i shoke that police office hands and He head him say praise the Lord and so he knew that we are coming from church.  I knew that he was prepared to receive the gospel. As we were teaching him, he was giving such a good answers and my companion and i started to laugh because of his answers. what i know from this experence is that Heavenly Father prepares the way to teach the gosel to his prepared ones.

 

I am really enjoying my mission and love this gospel so much.  I glad that you had a good Thankgiving day!!  Tell the family and my friends hello from our side. 

 

Love E. Aruldoss

Hi

 

Leah is sooo beautiful.  Thanks for all the report mom. 

 

This week something crazy happened, so after church we went to visit this investicator to teach him about restoration.  So they gave us soda to drink.  So they went to get this soda from their relatives.  So my companion and i were took the drink and started to drink.  My companion drunk it so fast and i was little slow. When i started to drink i smelt something different.  But i didn't care and i was  thirsty.  After we found out that there was alcohol added in that soda.  The family who gave the drink did  not know there was alcohol added either.  But there were being nice to us though.  so we all took it.  My companion and i had little headachae after this apointment. I felt bad becaue i broke the word of wisdom on sunday. NO WORRIES I REPENTED OF MY SIN!!!

 

Last week, on the thankgiving day we were having intervieies with Pre.Funk and so after that me and some missionries shared to sister Funk what we are thankful for.,.  It was really a great experence for me to be with missionaries and hearing what there are thankful for. 

 

There are many families who we are teaching and it is really hard for us to bring them to church.  This week we will have more investcators at church.  I love my mission and really enjoying every part of it.

 

I love you all very much and I always remember the things that you taught me  to be a good person.  Greatful and thankful for each of you.

 

Love Elder Aruldoss.
