DAVID: November 12, 2012

This week was a tough week because we are struggling finding new investigators. The population of English speaking is less in this place that i serving Erode.  However, I am so happy for the baptism that we had.  We baptized brother Rajesh.  He was really happy to be baptized and his wife will be baptized by him the coming week.  For a while we were teaching a family named Saravanan.  We taught him about the restoration and he wanted to meet President Monson.  He is really wealthy and said that he doesn't care about the cost that will require him to come to USA and to meet him.  He  just want to meet him personally and ask him some questions.  We spoke with the leaders in the mission and  they said that he can only meet President Monson during the Conference.  We spoke with the  brother Saravanan again about the matter and he was little disappointed.

We travel to Coimbatore each month to have combined District meeting in out Zone, since my district leaves 3 hours away.  Last we when we went there and unfortunately i lost the phone some where in the bus during our travel.  I didn't realize until i stepped out of the bus.  I had all the contact numbers of the members and the investigators.  Now, my companion and i are without the phone for a week. Without the phone the work is really going slow and we can't contact anyone and the worst part is that we have to get all the phone numbers again.  

I think you all know about the BIG Hindu festival Devali.  It is tomorrow and the fireworks are blasting so loud everywhere here.  We might not go out tomorrow at all for proselyte because of this festival.  

I am so glad to be on mission and this work is the best work that i can be doing in this age. 

Love you all and miss you so much.
