Elder Kent Thompson, India Bengaluru Mission: Hello

Hey Everybody,

This week was really great. We did some really fun things and visited some really cool people. We were able to pick up some new investigators as well as visit a ton of current investigators. Teaching with Elder Cloward is really fun. He's a really great teacher. Our friend Megha has been coming on exchange with us at least once a week. I feel bad to take him so much but he is always available. He's a 41 year old guy that is pretty much always home and ready to come with us. Also, he knows just about every home nearby to him so it's so helpful. We were out finding the other day and we were asking everybody where this brother's home was and nobody seemed to know. It's hard because the streets are not labelled very well and the door numbers are pretty much just random numbers. It's hard. We took Megha with us the next day and he took us right to this brother's home. He's got to be one of my favorite members.

One of our recent converts, Mehesh, gave us an awesome referral named Asha who is his wife's sister. We met with her at Mehesh's house the other day and had a really great lesson. We could honestly call her a "golden investigator" meaning she was super interested and asked a ton of questions. The best part was that all of the questions she was asking led right into the next thing that we would want to share with her. I would love to keep teaching her but the only problem is that she lives in the zone leader's area. We'll have to make sure they keep good care of her.

Valentine's day was fun. Nobody really celebrates it but it was fun to joke around about it with some members.

I don't really have any crazy stories or anything too exciting for the week other than we taught a ton of people and had tons of fun. Being on a mission is such a great experience.

Here's a few pics from the week. The first is a chicken that I saw the other day that looks just like our chicken named Steve from back home. It was fun to this this little guy running around. Also, another classic example of why my English is going downhill.

Hope all is well back home.

Love,

Elder Thompson
